    Isn't that exactly what the NCHC is doing?

      I can see using shootout for conference play as a tie break in standing. At the end of the game both teams have the same score they will receive 1 point. Use the shootout who would go ahead if there is a tie in points for conference play.

        You bad-mouth adopting a rule followed by world's most talented hockey players competing in the world's toughest leagues, apparently because you believe your incomparable credentials as a hockey fan/expert nullifies the accepted practices of the most talented players and the most attended, most successful leagues in the world. Climb down off your ego and grow up.

          Sometimes teams are evenly matched on a given night.
          Ties are an honorable outcome in many areas of competition (soccer and chess also come to mind). You only "need" a tie-breaker in a single-elimination tournament format. Shoot-outs to me are part of the transformation of our society from reasonable adulthood to indulgent permanent adolescence, but that's a whole 'nother story.

            It makes more sense to have the first 5 minute overtime be 4x4, then the second be 3x3, etc. than have a shootout: at least have the game decided by play on the ice rather than some gimmick.

            Like anyone will care what we think anyway...

                  Was the NHL more popular before or after they started using shootouts? Ya know, because the NHL is so well attended and successful.

                      I have not expressed my opinion on shootouts. You are projecting and assuming that I am opposed to shootouts. Why are you projecting?

                      But speaking of climbing down off your ego, you constantly bring a pompous and pointless attitude towards this board where you seem to go out of your way to disparage college hockey. For being such an avid follower, you certainly rarely have much positive to say about it. Just because some people don't like shootouts, you bring it upon yourself to be your usual smug self and look down upon them. As if you having watched hockey for 55 years grants you this all-knowing outlook where you are always correct.

                        Osorojo is pulling his typical borderline-personality crahp and those who don't know him already are being sucked in by his dysfunction....


                        Though the Wikipedia article fails to include a description of how someone with this disorder tends to stir up controversy among other people while remaining unaffected themselves. That's often a useful diagnostic, actually, for practitioners: if you feel yourself becoming unreasonably annoyed with someone, odds are good that s/he has a borderline personality disorder.

                          After. Check NHL attendance and revenue growth since shootouts were adopted. Shootouts may not have had a huge positive effect but they clearly did not destroy revenue or attendance. Lockouts did. Perhaps the majority of fans of world-class hockey do not share your aversion to shootouts. Just sayin'.

                            Or just don't play stupid basketball. That also works.

                                I have not followed college hockey for 55 years in anticipation of its failure, despite your conclusion to the contrary. I enjoy hockey, from mites to pros, including DI college hockey. I would like to see college hockey better attended, but I will not judge the sophistication of newfound fans, as so many critics of shootouts have done[check previous posts]. I would like to see the popularity and quality of DI college hockey competition rise compared to other amateur, semi-pro, and professional leagues. Blustering and insults will not reconcile differences in rules differences between world-class and DI college hockey.
