News Article: 3 on 3 OT?

[GloryDaze4877]

Hockey is played 5-5. 4-4 is a gimmick, but closer to real hockey than 3-3. 4-4 also comes up in the course of normal games almost every single time. 3-3 might happen once a year.

They are going to use a gimmick, I'd prefer if they use one less gimmicky.

4-4 still feels like hockey to me. 3-3 doesn't.

I just don't see why we'd go to 3-3 when we could easily play a couple more minutes of 4-4.

I hear ya, but you go to 3 on 3 because they have cut way back on SO's in the AHL.

I would not be opposed to 3 pt regulation wins.

Want less shootouts? That's the goal.

HAVE LESS GAMES GO TO OVERTIME.

Make all of these games 3 point games. 3 points for a regulation win. Holy **** that would be the best thing they could do to make the regular season games more intense.

So I think 3 on 3 is fine, but I totally agree that all games should be 3 point games. The fact that an extra point magically appears out of nowhere is silly.

8 minutes of 4-4 would cut down on shootouts too. I say try that first.
