....I like the 4 minute 4 on 4....4 minute 3 on 3 then the shootout - UnnamedSource
I'd go with 4 on 4 for 10 minutes. If there is no decisive goal, it goes to a tie.
It's all wishful thinking though. Bettman isn't going to get rid of the shootout. |

Why should you be rewarded for being behind instead of being ahead? That's ridiculous - rollpards19
Why should you be rewarded for having the better gimmick player?
(frank) the shootout.
It's not valid to end a Basketball game with a slam dunk contest, or a baseball game with a home run derby, or a football game with a field goal kicking contest...it damn well should not be valid to end an NHL hockey game with a (frank)ing shootout. Biggest (frank)ing joke in all of pro sports. Pathetic. |

Is that in response to my post? I am not rewarding for being behind. If the entire goal of the NHL to create more scoring - why not reward the team that scores the tying goal? Think about it, it punishes the team that plays with a lead "not to lose" instead of "to win". I am totally shocked that most of you think this is too complicated, it is simple and a real representation of what a tie is, 1 team losing a point and one team earning a point. Jeez, no wonder Bettman has such a control on the league, there is a bunch of simple-minded fans to sell to. |

...or play to a tie. Three columns: Wins, Losses, Ties. That's all it needs to be. I'm with you, I can live without the rest of the crap. - EKolb13
E - I am with you - go back to W,L,T. But because some people don't like ties, they need to be explained for what they are. |

Agreed.
However, the shootout isn't going away as long as Bettman is around. Really, it's a great gimmick that appeals to the fan who isn't really that in touch with Hockey. I think the shootout does help attract more of the public to the sport.
I don't like it myself, but it is what it is. |

No - doesn't involve the East, but St. Louis and Phoenix likely to go to a 3-point game. |

Did some back reading and I am left with one question. What will it take to get US jr at the TDL. He apparently has the red ass the Hawks need. He has to be better than Ott. |

Probably with the blues winning, too. They are really coming on. Hopefully it will be a shootout win |
