Quote from: CU2007It's annoyingly complicated on the RPI/PWR side of things. "Just win, baby" has basically become "Just win in regulation, baby"

If you think of OT games as basically ties for RPI purposes, it makes things simpler.
So...now we endure unnatural hockey (3 on 3; shootouts) because you just can't abide having a tie, and simply must have a winner, but the resulting RPI/PWR outcome is doomed to be...essentially...a tie.

Pretty much. I think I liked it better the old way. 3 on 3 hockey is fun, but it shouldn't count for anything, which means ties at end of regulation.

It's not even that fun.  It's basically lax.  One team controls for as long as they want, gets off a shot, and then half the time they get it back and set up again, and half the time the roles reverse.  zzzzzzzzzzz.

Right.  It's not hockey.  It's a gimmick.  As is a shootout.  Next it'll be a relay race:  one forward, one defenseman, and the starting goalie.  Three laps each around the goals.  Goalie carries his stick.
