2003-04 vs. TOR Home Opener: Sergei Brylin Goal

[TheWaffleShow]

ah the days of ties

[njdevils17]

after last night's shoot out, i don't think i'd mind having ties

[TheWaffleShow]

i hate shootouts with a passion.

[iselin90]

well at least a team wins

[TheWaffleShow]

look up the 3-point system theory its much better

[iselin90]

how is it much better the only difference is a winning team gets one more point for a win in regulation

[TheWaffleShow]

and it does away with the shitty skill competition known as the shootout

[iselin90]

how does the three point system do that? and a game should be decided with skill the shootout is exicting

[TheWaffleShow]

so even if a team is down 4-0, and they score 4 goals in the third period, only to lose in a shootout, thats a good thing to have? To have an exciting game decided by a skills competition. Who has better moves than who played harder?

[iselin90]

u do have a 5 minute ot period good example the rangers blew a 4-0 lead to the caps last week and lost in overtime

[TheWaffleShow]

yeah but why not continuous overtimes like the old days? I think it would be much more tension-filled and exciting.

[iselin90]

like the playoffs with 20 minute periods? or with 5 minutes

[TheWaffleShow]

20 like the good ol days

[iselin90]

yah so some games will end at midnight and the players might have a game the next day

[TheWaffleShow]

i doubt it, not in todays NHL. you rarely ever see 3rd overtime in the playoffs

[iselin90]

u just need one game

[NwJrsyDevs]

save continuous OT for the playoffs and give 1/2 point to a team that loses in OT or Shootout
