But yet it does not count in goalie’s save percentage, therefore it doesn’t count. In 8 games, 3 on 3 will not exist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NCAA needs to implement 4 x 4, 10 minute OT for all conferences. Then we can get rid of the shootouts, 3 x 3 gimmicks and whatever else there is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is not nearly as gimmicky as 3 x 3 or the infernal shootout. 5 x 5 would encourage coaches to trap and play for the tie. That is much harder to do with 4 x 4.

The argument all along has been there there's too much ice, but then we complain about lack of scoring. I actually prefer the bigger ice sheets and more space. Today's players are much bigger, stronger, and faster than those of 25, 50, and 75 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of OT is to determine a definite winner and cut down on the number of ties. Going 4 x 4 for 10 minutes would accomplish both goals a lot better than the current setup.

Gma loves hockey Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Question- sudden death shootout? Wouldn't that give the first team shooting the advantage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlop Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Strip out Cam's stats the year he had 3 NHL defensemen in front of him.....and he's performing at a normal clip....which makes him a decent goalie. For those criticizing Thome's play at Denver, remember, if Cam was judged by the 1st couple games he ever played he wouldn't even be on the team....and he wasn't thrown into the fire like Thome was. Should be a rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a rotation. Merely pointing out Thome's weaknesses vs Cam's right now as we want the best goalie for us at the time, no? We are #12 in the PWR and don't have time for a goalie learning on the fly right now. I think until Cam has a bad game(by Berry's standards, not SS msg board avatars), you keep playing him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
