While it would be extremely rare have such a tie, I'm glad they'd settle it with real hockey and not a gimmick.

Interesting

While unlikely. It’s probably just as likely as the panthers odds of making the playoffs a week ago

The other option they put forward was to have each team take 3 players, in their home arena and do a shootout on their own goalie. If it was tied after the first 3 shooters, they would keep going until there was a winner.



It would be lived streamed so no one could cheat.

This seems so unlikely that now I’m sure it’s going to happen because Flyers

They should use beer pong as the first tiebreaker, followed, if needed, by jousting and finally an old school NWA Texas Death Match between team captains.

I don't know if I like Giroux's chances...plus he is too beautiful to risk that

Someone should get Mrazek’s money, he certainly hasn’t earned it.

Bring back Richards and it will never get past Beer Pong

The world could definitely use a few more Texas Death Matches

So this was in Bill's blog a few days ago.

Points earned is based on h2h matchup in an even number of games. Must be an even number. If it is an odd number of games, the first home game for the team with the greater amount of home games is tossed.

So they're 1-2 overall: the Flyers won in phila but lost twice in Florida. But for the tiebreaker, since it's an odd number of games, the first home game for the team with the most home games in the season series gets tossed out to even the field. This helps the flyers obvs since they lost that game. The tiebreaker is even at 1-1. Strange, but justified in taking away what is basically home ice advantage in a tiebreaker.

For clarity's sake, if they flyers and Panthers played 4 times (or 2 or 6...) and played an even split of home/away games (1 and 1, 2 and 2, etc) no game results would be thrown out.

I'd go with rock, paper, scissors and be done with it.

So...I'm guessing you guys aren't too worried about getting a pt. tomorrow, to clinch playoffs?

I think Hank wants some payback for last reg. season game in 2009

While I would never say never, I doubt anyone is taking that bait today

2010.

Don't think it hasn't crossed some minds.

Just hope it's not a repeat of 2009 against the Rags last game of the year.

Let's just win the game Saturday and all of these tie-breaking possibilities go out the window.


17 more wins and it is ours.....
