Well apparently nothing is quite good enough...it would appear on the surface that the league is trying to do all it can to get rid of the shoot-out. The very thing that they touted as such a great idea when they introduced it. Now here we are years later and they are trying yet another gimmick to solve the problem...a problem that only exist in the minds of the bosses at the NHL.
The first gimmick didn't work after we convinced the sheep that ties were bad,so now let's move on to gimmick number 2...we'll play overtime but it'll be 3-3...and in a few years if that doesn't work then what....2-2?
Maybe go to something really wild....goalie -goalie and play with 2 pucks, put the both at the center line...each goalie starts in his own crease and on the whistle they skate to center...pick up a puck and stick handle to the attack zone and first one to score into the net wins...they can't shoot until they are between the circles AND each team puts a skater in net...if the shot is missed the skater can pick up that puck and take it down the other way and can win the game by scoring into the other net. Thus increasing his teams chance to twice as much with 2 pucks and 2 shooters going on a skater from the other team.
Pretty much guarantee a winner that way...who cares if it bastardizes the sport.
