I’m very in-favor of the over and back rule. Way too much time eaten up circling back and re-entering the zone.

I don’t like the idea of making it even less like regular hockey just to make it even easier to score. At a certain point we might as well skip it and get right to the shootout.
Just go back to 4 on 4, were goals really so rare?

I prefer 4-on-4 but they have to do something to try and improve 3-on-3. I know people are gonna think I’m just butthurt because we lost the game against Seattle, but that OT against them was embarrassing for everyone involved.

Take away the OT point and make it winner take all. Otherwise the risk averse coaches of the league will always look to play it safe no matter how the rules are structured

Shot clock no, over and back yes

3 on 3 for 8 minutes and no crossing back over the red line.
Took me 6 seconds

There will just be more adaptation no matter what rules are changed.
Go back to 5 v 5, sudden death, no SO, 10 minute period. If no one has won, no points are awarded to either team for the tie.

I don’t think we need to fix the “over and back” rule just say no offsides. Cherry picking allowed.

Apparently my wife and I are the only ones that like the shootout. Definitely agree with modifying the overtime parameters, though.

3 on 3 is already barely hockey putting in over and back or shot clock just makes it less and less like hockey. I’d rather 4 on 4 and a tie than more made up nonsense.

I’m getting real tired of the 3v3. 4v4 didn’t bother me nearly as much. But 3v3 just feels like a pick-up game and not a proper way to finish a hockey game that was played 5v5 for 90% of the rest of the game.
There’s probably a reason why the NFL hasn’t changed their OT to something stupid like 6v6

Ok, so we don’t like the shootout because its unlike regular hockey. We also don’t like 3 v 3 because it can get boring, and is also unlike regular hockey. We don’t like the point for a regulation tie because it encourages sandbagging.
What about this? Instead of 3 v 3 OT then a shootout, we do rounds of PP/PK? I saw this at a Wings training camp and instantly thought it would be a great way to end the game.
Goes like this: Get rid of the OT point, winner take all. Start with 3 rounds, at the end of three rounds a winner is decided, or, the game continues 1 round at a time. The game ends when a team has a lead at the end of 3 rounds, or at anytime in additional rounds after 3.
Rounds would be 1 minute PPs, starting with a faceoff in the defensive zone, 4 v 5, no substitutions. After 1 minute, if a goal is not scored, the teams switch off from PP to PK, again starting with a faceoff in the defensive zone. Away team starts on the PP. That is 1 round. At the end of three rounds, if there is no longer a tie, a winner is declared.
When a team scores, the PP is over, and the teams switch from PP to PK.

Why can’t you all just enjoy 3on3? 🙁
I like the 3 on 3 …just get rid of the shoot out
