Canuck You Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) So, I was listening to a few podcasts about McJesus issue about the shootout and I found a lot of intriguing things but no end result! or a resolution.. I do agree with him and my proposition would be an 8 min OT..First 4 mins it's 4 on 4 and the next 4 mins a 3 on 3?..As a nerd I will say that it would take approx the same mins if it were to go in to a shoot-out. But what say you? Edited January 17 by Canuck You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I like this better (in order): 5 minutes 4-on-4 5 minutes 3-on-3 Shootout 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUCKER67 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 10-minute period of 3-on-3 If it's still tied after that. They play a 5-minute period of 2-on-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6of1_halfdozenofother Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Should be 5 mins 4-4, 5 mins 3-3, 5 mins 2-2, 5 mins 1-1, and then after those 20 minutes if it's still not settled, the two goalies shoot out against each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 2 on 2 would be nuts, puck moving defencemen would thrive. Imagine Petey and Hughes out there together, both can defend and both can score, one of the leagues better duos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Back when 3-on-3 was being brought in, I was in favour of a 10-minute 4-on-4 instead, but I think the concern was going too much overtime for TV providers. That said, I don't hate shooutout, but would like to see it as more of a rarity, which 3-on-3 has already helped with. I think an extension or eight or ten minute 3-on-3 should eliminate the vast majority of shootouts, making it an actually exciting event when it occurs. Think about it, if shootouts were as rare as penalty shots, we'd appreciate them a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd appreciate never seeing a shoot out again. To the point I've actually only watched like 10 in total, since their introduction, but the same goes for 4 on 4 ot; which is now 3 on 3 ot. disgraceful way to decide a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love overtime, when it is 5 on 5 sudden death. 5 minutes during regular season, then a tie, and going till there is a winner in play offs was great. I admit I definitely dislike having different amounts of players on the ice. To me it seems bush league to change how the game is played, to decide the out come. I'd have more respect for the league if they went to a 3 on 3 format for the whole game, than this mish mash they have going on now.- Though I'd probably not watch, at least I could respect their commitment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair points. I definitely enjoy playoff 5 on 5 OT more than regular season OT, but I get excitement out of it in the regular season too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
