Rule Changes

Re: Rule Changes

This means the rest of the changes, including scoring during delayed call still results in a PP, are going through to the safety committee?

Yes. The USCHO article said that the other 21 suggestions had no changes. Also means that teams won't be able to change players if the puck gets shot out of play "accidentally". (If "done with intent" then it's a penalty.)

1997 ECAC Final: Cornell 2, Clarkson 1. Cornell went up 2-0 9 minutes into the 2nd period, and I swear they iced the puck about 15 or 20 times over the remaining 31 minutes of play. At least it felt that way....

Cornell? I can believe it.

You've never seen UA_? LOL. They are much better than they used to be with their new coach, but it was preeeety bad.

Maybe it just seemed that way to you since the Nooks usually skate with a lead against the c-woofs, icing or not. :rolleyes:

Both icing rules (to eliminate the short handed exception for icing AND eliminating no-change icing) would be stupid, in my book.

But, so is the shootout.

Agreed, the shootout in the NHL feels like a "pretend ending." It sounds ridiculous when someone goes "Team A Beats Team B" even though the game ended in a tie. It's a fabricated, artificial "ending" based on what you've spent the last 65 minutes of game time watching.

And yet, the biggest sporting event in the World was about 4 minutes away from being decided in that way yesterday. What a disgrace that would have been.

Well, since we've seen this happen, I think it's safe to say that it is a disgrace. It is a terrible way to determine a game, especially a championship. I understand why they don't keep playing in soccer (essentially 2 straight hours of soccer - that's a full game + 3 full OT periods of hockey), but there's got to be a better way to determine a winner.

At least the shootout isn't used to determine playoff hockey games. And, if the Hockey Gods exist, it NEVER will.

It's used to determine the winner in international play, at least during WJC and Olympic play. However, given the much faster pace of hockey and more set-up scoring opportunities, it makes sense to have sudden death overtime in hockey go until a goal is scored. With soccer, there's much more mid-field play, it's spread out, and you don't get a scoring opportunity very often, maybe on the average of once every 2-3 minutes. Even in bouncy-orange-thing, they don't go to free throws; they keep playing OT until there's a winner.

I wonder what the feelings would be about regular season games going to multiple overtimes... granted most rink managers would despise the rule because of scheduling. If games commonly went to 4 or 5 OT's, then I could understand implementing the shootout rule. But, nothing's wrong with a tie, just don't make any special considerations for when a win occurs. A win is a win is a win is a win.

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.
