I'm interested to hear what your thoughts on the NHL shootout to determine a winner are. I've heard of a few different alternatives that take this gimmick out of the equation. One of the most interesting ones was each team getting a small amount of time to run a 5v3. If the first team up scores 2 goals, the second team has to either match that (to keep the game going) or beat it (to win the game). I thought this was a brilliant idea that would eliminate what feels like a skills comp mixed with a crap shoot to end a tie game.

No no no, we don't need that guy's arm.

I think that's why I love the idea so much. CFL overtime, in my opinion, is the best version of OT for football. NFL needs to swallow their pride and just copy the format.

Thanks for the reply!
