Re: Rule Changes

I can't speak for everyone here, but I don't care if a regular season game ends in a tie. Some ties are good. So, forget the 5 minutes of OT and just let it end in a tie. In-season tourneys can use the novelty of the shootout if they want (though I still loathe it and think they could use GF as a tie-breaker if need be after the OT). Post-season should, and does, use the full OT or multiple OT's and that's fine by me.

What in season tourneys use it besides the Alaska one?

I know the Beanpot is full OT.

How do you use goals for as a tiebreaker to a tied game?

I think they should use goals against.

The Shillelagh Tourney uses the shootout after the OT.

GF for the entire tourney. Two game, total goals. (The WCHA used to do this for playoffs a long time ago.)

The RPI tournament (thanksgiving) uses 5 minute overtime, the game then goes down officially as a tie, and a shootout is played.
