muggs Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Re: Proposed NHL rule changes Yeah, I think one OT period and then shootout would be good. I think it was like that a while back wasn't it? Can't remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Re: Proposed NHL rule changes [ QUOTE ] The institution of a shootout to eliminate tie games in the NHL. Before going to the shootout, though, overtime would be modified to include one five-minute period of four-on-four overtime and, if still tied, a three-minute period of three-on-three. If, after eight minutes of overtime, the game is still tied, then it would go to a shootout. [/ QUOTE ] Found this on another site Eric. Thought I mentioned this earlier.

Bob LeBlanc Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Re: Proposed NHL rule changes On the matter of going to a shootout... At the end of nine innings...if the game is tied...let's have a home-run derby!!! Man!!! Wouldn't that be exciting?!? The game is a TEAM sport! Won or lost as a TEAM!! Shootouts are great exhibition...but that's all they are...exhibition. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Chris, you might have mentioned that earlier, but after finding out you're a Red Wings fan, I've been ignoring you j/k That doesn't sound like a bad system, I really like the 3 on 3 idea, now that would be exciting. Alot of space there, but IMO, any form of shootout will cheapen the game. oh yeah... GO AVALANCHE!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
