You must be a relatively new hockey fan. Not everyone likes 3 on 3. And the penalty shot comment has to be a joke.
Penalties in OT Should be a Penalty Shot

I don't know, you seem to be a newer fan. I never said everyone loved it. I said people in general loved it.

Not sure about a penalty shot before OT ends. That said, I'd be open to a shootout after double OT. The players need energy to play the remaining games and/or potential next opponent.
Put a free bar in the penalty box in o.t. If the game doesn't end quick it will be very entertaining.

So..... changing to 5 on 5 from 3 on 3 should be fine then
. And while we're at it, change to ending in ties after 5 minutes of that.

This. Nothing needs fixing. It's like they don't have any better things to 'fix' so they focus on OT/SO and how to fix every year.

I like it.
My cousin goes on endlessly how they should call more Penalty Shots. They're more exciting.
So why not do it?
At the very least, try for a season in the A.

I think about it this way:
Currently there is only one thing you can do which creates an automatic penalty shot due to the amount of time on the clock, and that is deliberately knocking the net off its pegs in the final 2 minutes. Other things you can do to create a penalty shot: trip someone on a breakaway, dive on top of a loose puck in the crease, throw your stick or glove at the puck, jump off the bench illegally to prevent a breakaway.
The governing principle here is that the penalty shot restores an imminent scoring opportunity that was taken away illegally.
OP proposes that penalty shots be awarded for non-scoring opportunity infractions, based entirely on the time of game. I can’t get on board with that, because it’s not aligned with the opportunity-restoring purpose of a penalty shot. A random offensive-zone tripping penalty is simply a 2 minute minor, not something that should result in the opponent getting a free shot on the other net to determine the outcome of the game.

I already get frustrated watching refs stare down obviously penalties in OT because they're afraid of making a call that's going to determine the outcome of the game. Make every penalty a PS and we may never see another OT penalty called again. Can you imagine the outrage if a player lifts an opponents stick and gets a little into his hands in the offensive zone and they get a penalty shot for it? The puck goes on edge and your team's player shoots the puck over the glass and they lose the game on a penalty shot? I don't see a problem with 4 on 3 so to me if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I'm just saying the game of hockey can change and if there's ice, an object, a stick and a goal its hockey. Now doesn't mean we should or its good but to argue we shouldn't change because to quote the movie Babe " The way things are is the way things are" means we would have never gotten there and be stuck 6 on 6 and no forward pass

It would never happen, but I'd just make 3 on 3 10 minutes and bring back ties. If there isn't a goal after 10 minutes on 3 on 3, then it's deserved as a tie, since it would be harder to not score

Do they give penalty shots in your beer league because everyone is too lazy to keep track of penalty box times? dumb

Effortless sexy.
Not on board with this, but I could see an Iambic Pentameter smackoff in OT. May the more well-versed win!

In the regular season, if there's a defensive zone penalty with less than 30 seconds to go, it should result in a penalty shot, and no delayed penalty.
Imagine a scenario where a defensemen is about to take a shot from the point with 1 second remaining and then gets tomahawk slashed from behind and has his stick broken....and the game just ends and they give the slasher a penalty at the end of the game when it's too late.
I think that's a major flaw in the penalty system. Players are free to get late game penalties since it won't result in a full powerplay. Their options become, stop a legit scoring chance, or take a very short penalty.
