7:00 OT is fine with me. It's not that much extra time that it will wear players out or bore the crowd, yet offers lower chances of making it to a shootout.
Changing to 3-3 after the first 3 minutes- while it makes some sense, as it will create more scoring opportunities, it just reeks of gym class rules.
Switching ends will make more bad line changes, resulting in more odd man breaks. Fine.

I liked the shootout for a few years. Now I hate it. Yes, I certainly still watch it. I'm just not happy about it deciding points. Bring ties back.

It'll revert back to boring once the coaches figure it out. I swear the rule changes nowadays just seem like a way to throw bench bosses off their game temporarily.

AHL went from having 65% of all overtime games going to a shootout to just 24% since introducing 3 on 3. Basically a game goes to a shootout only once every 20 games now compared to 3 times every 20 games.

I'll take that kind of reduction. Just not sure the NHLPA will.

Ah yes, the first NHLPA splinter faction! I like it.

What happens if there is a penalty called during the 3 on 3? Does it turn into a 3 on 2? That's a bit silly.

BTW, my 5 year old boy LOVES hockey and goalies and his favourite part of the game is the shootout - for what it's worth....

It'd be 4 on 3. Can't go lower than 3 as per the rules of the sport.

Yeah, a 2-man advantage in OT right now becomes a 5-on-3, not 4-on-2.

This is also why when 3 minors occur simultaneously to one team, one penalty is delayed until the first one expires rather than awarding a 5 on 2 advantage.

They should go to 6-on-3 instead. That'd be fun.

The zebras never give out 3 concurrent minors anymore anyways. The Ducks used to give them ample opportunity but they could pretty much get away with murder when they had 1, let alone 2 guys in the box.
