I don't care about the shootout or OT or ties.

I just want the games to have equal value.

3 pts for a win, 0 for a loss
2 for an OT/SO win, 1 for an OT/SO loss

This.

then you should be entertained by the game itself not just the end result.

I find the shootout entertaining most of the time, but OT should be longer so it doesn't happen twice every night.

Sure, but if the end result is a tie, it tends to not feel like anything was accomplished at all.
- BINGO!

not really, your team gets a point.

football isn't sudden death anymore unless you give up a touchdown right away. and if you give up a touchdown right away you have no right to complain because you clearly sucked on that drive.

It's less stupid than before.

it's not stupid. defence is part of the game. if you let the opposing team drive it 80 yards down your throat on the first drive, you deserve to lose.

that's what I told the judge, he didn't agree

So losing because of a shootout is stupid, but loosing as a result of a coin toss isn't?

Yes

main difference is that after the coin toss they actually play football, they don't have a punt distance contest.

if they give up a TD or safety they deserve to lose. If the other team gets a FG then they have a chance as well to tie or win with a TD.

Yeah but as a carré rouge i think everyone should have a chance.

I'd add another short period on 3 on 3

I'd leave them 5-on-5 but I'd through a starving lion on the ice like in Gladiator.

I'd like a punt distance contest.

I say start with the shootout...if there's no winner after 5 rounds, play the game.

i find it bizarre that it was ever agreed upon that games would have different amounts of points available
it makes no sense

ok, so the shootout is a gimmick, but 3-on-3 hockey is legitimate?

you're not losing because of the coin toss in that case. you're losing because you can't play defence.

Sounds like a shootout to me...

There's a bunch of good options out there to fix it...getting creative with 3-3 and poop like that ain't one of those options.

I like DT's idea of adding a lion.
