Agreed to, formal approval coming in the next week or so. There were 170 shoot-outs this past regular season.....should be well less than 100 next year!
NHL OT Changing From 4-On-4 To 3-On-3!
- Thread starter ILLINOISLION
- Start date
I like it. I don't mind shootouts, but an extra OT and it being 3 on 3 will be very exciting to watch. This is really going to benefit teams like Tampa Bay and NYR with the speed that they have. I can't wait to see what surprises free agency brings next week.
Anything beats the shootout but still wish they'd go from 4-4 to 3-3 for some period of time. It sounds like the NHLPA was deadset against that , which makes very little sense but oh well. Limiting the extent to which the skills competition is deciding a winner is a good thing.
Unless they are playing the Penguins, in which case they won't need OT to win.The Philadelphia Flyers will still put out 3 goons on the ice!
JK Tom!!!
I think OT's should be played in 5 minute intervals with diminishing number of players based on the successive OT's.
1st OT: 5 vs 5
2nd OT: 4 vs 4
3rd OT: 3 vs 3
4th OT: 2 vs 2
5th OT: 1 vs 1. That's right, the goalies play one on one vs each other.

And that, is why nobody takes you serious on this board

It's "seriously", but I have come to expect really poor grammar from you and your McKees kin. On the advice of others, I will be placing you on "ignore" tomorrow morning.And that, is why nobody takes you serious on this board

Where do you plan to "move on" after Gallup? Tucumcari?
Not to worry Glov. Can you think of a more demeaning occupation than a pool boy for Peetz? Good Lord, what would you do if she showed up in a bikini looking for additional service? On second thought, no man should have to visualize that!
They needed to do something to bring down the number of shootouts in the league. I like to see a shootout every once in a while as much as the next guy, but I think the games should be decided with gameplay as often as possible, and I think every effort should be made to ensure it does. The way it has been the last few years, it definitely was not a priority to decide games with actual gameplay.
