I don't buy this. If a team scores a goal it's a goal, regardless of whether it's over time. Nothing is forced. If the Stanley Cup final goes to overtime/golden goal it's not looked at as forced? When Canada beat the US in the last Olympics in overtime it wasn't dismissed as a sham, but celebrated as a fucking awesome game.
I also don't buy the accuracy argument. I think draws hurt the accuracy of SR. If Supersonic and Call me Daddy both played each other, and drew, their seeding would have been skewed.
However:
This is absolutely true. The LO allowed draws because it meant I could actually schedule the two days with some sense of accuracy.
