The AHL has implemented the dreaded, horrible, completely inappropriate, blasphemous sin known as the shootout.
The day it happens in college is the day I take to the tallest tower and start shooting... until I either kill them all, or they pry the trigger from my cold, dead hands (note to the NSA agent intercepting my communication... I'm just joking... I think).

After OT. Points work like an OTW/OTL.
But its the principle of the thing

Maybe the fans of the AHL like having a more clearly defined winner. Most police shows and most movies starring Arnold Schwarzenegger end that way.

Uh-oh... the NCAA permits the shootout to be used (after the standard five-minute OT) in regular-season tournament games and post-season consolations. For NCAA purposes, the game would be recorded as a tie, and the decision to use the shootout for a tournament/consolation must be made, and the teams notified, before the start of that season. In last year's UConn Classic, both first-round games were decided by shootout.
Hockey East experimented with the shootout in the mid-90s for their regular-season league games. Mercifully, they dropped it after a couple years. Things could have been worse, though... around the same time, there was a proposal for Hockey East regular-season games to be played as two 25-minute halves, rather than the standard three periods. Thankfully, wiser heads prevailed and that one wasn't implemented.

They also did a relatively sensible version of it. by making the shootout worth only 1/4 as much as the game that preceded it, and maintaining a zero sum point system. (W=5, SOW=3, SOL=2, L=0)
