EB43 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I think it’s fine just the way it is.. except it should just continue until a team scores, ditch the shootout. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Am.Ironman Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Is the juice worth the squeeze? I don't know. Hate the shot clock idea. It seems a little excessive to penalize a team for crossing either center or blue line. What happens if the defender bobbles at the blue line and a team has to tag up? That's a normal hockey play.

Jess Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Interesting. Wouldn't mind it too much, but it does convolute things a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I don't mind making some kind of change. OT is most entertaining when teams are trading chances. Not so much when teams are looking for the perfect play, and keep regrouping just to avoid giving up possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawbone Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 They should just drop it to 2-on-2 after 5 minutes, then 1-on-1 after another 5 minutes, and then just goalie-on-goalie after another 5 minutes. Stupid? Probably. Fun? I think so! That one game a year that actually makes it to the goalie-on-goalie phase would be must-watch TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie29 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I don't mind the idea of not going back over the red line, but I think the blue line is a little too restrictive. Maybe though, to keep the game going, if they violate the rule they have to dump the puck back into the opponents zone and allow them to reach the blue line before checking again. That way they lose posession which would be a worse penalty than having a faceoff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6of1_halfdozenofother Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 If for OT they're going to outlaw loopbacks, reduce shootouts, remove even-strength players to play 3v3... Why not leave good enough alone and have a tied score be an acceptable outcome? 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) 3 on 3 is a joke. Get rid of it. Shoot out should go bye bye as well. 5 on 5, for 5, then a tie. Edited November 14, 2023 by Gurn 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker67 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Start OT with 5-on-5, and then each team will lose one player every minute. Could see some 1-on-1 action during that last minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree but it's unlikely to be unlimited. It will mess up the timing of TV double-headers and TV calls the shots. GCG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way they lose posession which would be a worse penalty than having a faceoff. I have often thought that this kind of rule should be adopted. I like 3-on-3 play and often get frustrated when teams loop back, taking time off the clock. Most people would like a longer (10 min?) OT but it is a tough sell because of TV scheduling. Also, I think the NHLPA prefers the shorter clock. I would use a red line rule --once you have possession over the center line you cannot carry, pass, or shoot puck back to your own half of the ice. If you do it is an "offside" and you have a D-zone face-off and cannot make substitutions (just like icing). If this encourages the defending team to put pressure on the team with possession at the red line -- great. It is a nice risk-reward tradeoff. I am all in favor, and it would reduce the number of shoot-outs. And if the NHL could presuade the networks to also add a couple of minutes to OT (7 instead of 5) that would be even better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyone Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) shot clock is a stupid idea. the over and back across the center line has merit. prevents teams from just killing the clock. o/t should go 3 on 3 for up to 10 minutes. if still tied ... 1 pt each. but I also think that a win in reg time should be 3pts, win in o/t 2 pts and a tie is 1 pt each team. this would encourage teams to win it as fast as possible.

That's true, I guess the GM doesn't always attend away games, but the coach must. Not that it would necessarily matter. GMPA looks like a psychotic killer if you take his glasses away.

Strawbone Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 From what I remember back in the day when ties were still a thing, it led to some pretty dull play near the end of a game where neither team wanted to squander a point. I find 3 on 3 overtime fun. It can really showcase what the best skaters and puck-handlers can do and I’d be ok with extending it to 10 minutes and/or creating a red-line rule.
