Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I didn't know that tie games were that big of a problem in college hockey... http://www.grandforksherald.com/articles/i...;section=Sports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I'm all for something. I hated seeing former Sioux teams tying 10 times a season, and as the article says, there are other teams that have done the same. I'm not in favor of a shoot-out for the same reason as mentioned. I don't think entry into the tournaments should depend on whether you have the next J. Toews on your team for the shootout. I do like the 4 on 4 idea or similar. I don't mind some ties, but not SO many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 PLAY TIL SOMEONE WINS, theres a frken concept, screw ties, screw shootouts in college, the points and pairwise mean way to much for that to happen. i would maybe give the winning team 2 points and losing OT team 1 point but then again that may cause some very crappy hockey with teams down the stretch trying only to get into OT, so after thinking for 1 minute................2 points to winner, 0 to loser and play til someone scores, they only play 2 games a week anyways...

The Whistler Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 We used to have full 20 minute sudden death playoffs during the regular season. If there was no score than it was a tie. I never knew why the changed away from that? It wasn't like there was a lot of hockey on TV back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think you made the point well that going to a five minute overtime didn't cause the television world to adopt hockey games as a TV sport.
