Did they get away with stuff or did they genuinely play clean? We saw some non calls, nothing egregious but warranted as a make up call(s) for the weak ones we had to kill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90siouxfan Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I think the big ice helped out our power play as the defenders didn't pressure the points as much as an NHL sheet. Clowns taking no penalties last night definitely helped them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think overall it was a clean game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't a good enough reason to keep it. Kids that choose the CHL do it for complex and sometimes personal reasons that have nothing to do with OT format or the presence of shootouts. Time to get back to basics on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightingsioux4life Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 And it was the coaches that insisted on these asinine neutral site regionals in front of three-quarter empty arenas. What does that do for the reputation of the college game? Maybe coaches shouldn't have almost absolute power to make these decisions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What % of college kids even get a cup of coffee in the NHL......and 90% of those aren't skilled enough to play 3x3 at that level. I get the AHL uses it too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If neither team can win you have left a point on the table. It will make OT more interesting. Teams will push for the win vs hoping for the win and living with a tie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of hard to trap with 4 vs 5 players. I also believe you will have far fewer ties with this format. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cberkas Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 UND was doing what the Caps did in OT, control the puck until the shootout. It worked for the most part, just didn't win in the shootout. This is why the NHL owners want a change to 3x3 OT. But why have 3x3 OT during the season when the most important games (playoffs) are 5x5. The NHL should just go back to 5x5. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedFrog Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) I noticed that Ludvig seems to be staying on his feet more instead of going into the butterfly especially on rushes coming into the zone ... anyone else notice this or am I seeing something that isn't there or has he done regularly already?

Walsh Hall Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I think folks are forgetting what the 5x5 OT's used to look like. The vast majority of the time, both teams were more than happy to take the tie and get their pt. I recall walking out of the WSC after ties and it's an odd feeling. The fear of losing the pt outweighed taking chances to gain a pt. I don't have a grand solution outside just calling the game a tie after regulations, but nobody likes a tie. I don't see why having 4x4 instead of 3x3 is any less gimmicky, and there is some merit to having the game played the same way it is at the next level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, IMHO, since NCAA hockey mimics the NHL gimmick rules it will only change if/when the NHL does so. Keep the faith as the sport continues growing at all levels.
