Blackheart Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I love hockey, but an 80 minute game with three intermissions on a regular season night is likely going to be too much for most people. Plus, if you ended up with two ties on the weekend the teams will have played 2 2/3 full games. It's just not feasible. I like the 4x4 format in the NHL, but I dislike the shootout because it's a team sport. 4x4 and 3x3 at least keeps it more like the standard product, but with an increased number of scoring chances. I was completely fine with calling a tie after 5:00 of 5x5; but if the powers that be need to decide a "winner" for every game I feel shorthanded play is preferrable - just not for a full 20 minutes. I'd go for a 4x4 10minute OT...although anything is preferable to a shootout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why the shootout is even remotely popular with fans. I would rather see the captains mark off 30 paces and draw pistols in a duel as opposed to have shootouts decide winners and losers.

MafiaMan Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Western Michigan sweeps the Redsk, er, RedHawks at Miami...and Michigan Tech puts a 10-spot on the board at home against Alabama-Huntsville. Think their students got bored with the T-e-c-h-n-o-l-o-g-i-c-a-l chants tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I saw that BC scored two goals in about the last 3:00 of the game. It was 2-1 BC at the 14:30 mark of the 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe goal 3 was a tip.....goal 4 an ENG to pad Johnny's stats........like he needs it.... Still In a 1 and done..............sometimes the best team doesn't win.........bring on the Eagles.
