It will only be in the regular season, and since the Kings had the worst shoot out record in the league I think,
KINGS WIN ANOTHER CUP!
Tampa's a fast team with snipers, so they will benefit. Most important I think us bettors will benefit from not having our capping ruined by shoot outs as often.
I like how the Olympics did it, 3 points for a regulation win 2 points ot win 1 point ot loss. I always hated the tie in in the NHL, it's one of the reasons I don't like soccer too.
3 on 3 is ghetto. Can't believe they made this change. You're never going to fix ending a hockey game. The game is not one where goals are easily scored. Either stick with the shootout (maybe even randomize it so teams with great shooters can't just put the same guys out every time) or go back to ties. It's probably going to be fun to watch, but just don't like it. Not sure what makes it any better than a shootout.
I like it and think it would be great if the NFL & NBA changed rules so that teams also have to play short-handed and with more men.
It would add the same excitement as we see when an NHL team is playing 5 on 4 or 5 on 3 ...

Yet they've won 2 cups since 2012, and will probably get another one in the next two years.
