Helmethead Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 9 hours ago, The Chicoutimi Cucumber said: Yah, get rid of the shootout. It was a sop to fans after the lockout, it has nothing to do with the team sport of hockey, and a lot of people around the league don’t like it. if it were me I’d make each game worth 3 points and make the damn shootout 5 shot minimum a la soccer.

Commandant Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I still.prefer the extra point of the shootout rather than a tie game and each teams getting 1 point. Id go to 3 points for a regulation win though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth noting, though, that three points for a regulation win will change many teams' tactics late in regulation, particularly when a game is tied, so the results won't be quite identical. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id go to 3 points for a regulation win though To be REALLY radical, and with absolutely no chance it ever happens, 3 points for a regulation win, 2 points for an O/T win and 1 point for a shootout win ... with ZERO loser points ... true incentive to win in regulation and in O/T ... no "we've at least got a point" after 60 minutes.

Better yet. 2 regulation. 1 OT and SO. Neither are team hockey. 0 for losing. OTL points are stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree ... and disagree. The same number of total points makes sense. Now, change it to be five points for a win, four for OT win and three for SO win. Two for SO loss or one for OT loss. Each step gets you closer to a tie, really (even if we don't have ties any more). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons I want 3 points for a win is that I'm not a huge fan that some games are worth 3 points and some are worth 2. I'd like every game to result in the same number of total points awarded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it would make close games more exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the biggest argument for 321 vs 210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
