The_Admiral Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 What joy is there to be derived from following a perpetual first-round out that reliably sells off its few talented players amidst a big blob of replacement-level system guys? I mean, I guess you could say that about the Oakland A's, but baseball is baseball; it's not like you can run a drag-'em-down-to-your-level trap scheme in baseball, you either have successful outcomes or you don't. If the Predators can't secure the closest thing they've ever had to a franchise player, then what is there but singing "I like it, I love it, I want some more of it" when your team actually deigns to score a goal every now and then? It's going to look pretty bleak if they flip Weber. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW.ERA Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I've wanted to see a 3 on 3 OT for quite sometime, but what happens with penalties? 3 on 2, 3 on 1? Or do the Refs have a blind eye to everything. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do the Refs have a blind eye to everything.I think they would actually add a player to the team on the power play, and make it a 4-on-3, then 4-on-4 from the time the penalty is over to the next whistle. I seem to recall that's what happens in some of the junior leagues that do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still MIGHTY Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I think that 3-on-3 after 4-on-4 could work very well. I've wanted to see that. I really think this would help avoid more shootouts.-------Meanwhile in Tampa Bay, the Lightning have installed Tesla coils onto their scoreboard for pre-game stuff and for goal celebrations.
