I don't think you should change the format - but IF it was ever changed, it shouldn't be 3 on 3. Shootout never!

4 on 4 starting in the double or 3rd OT would make sense.

No, these multi-period overtime games are rare so leave it as is.

Nah. Don't want the game to go to 4 OT periods? Don't hit the post three times.

Don’t change a thing. No 4 on 4 or 3 on 3. Definitely no shoot outs.
No gimmicks in the greatest playoff formate. Don’t be silly.

Wouldn't have gone to 4 OTs if they hadn't called that bogus goalie interference.

OT should be changed so that we can bring back goons and let them have a line brawl. Last man standing wins the game

After watching a 7 period hockey game last night, the question has to be asked….

Is the way we do playoff overtime worth it?-EK


The question doesn't have to be asked. It is one of the best elements of playoff hockey. it should not be changed.
