Opponents and Others, 2022-23

The announcers talked about how in previous years, Beanpot games would be played out in sudden death overtime for as  long as it took for someone to score, but the new NCAA rules mandate that regular season games can only have a 5-minute overtime.

Interesting question my mind conjures, then: if at the end of the NCAA-mandated 5 minute OT of a tied game, can an independent tournament playing for beans or whatever, decide to play 8x8, non-sudden death, 20 minutes, cumulative goals super-bonus OT to determine the finalists?

I don't pay close attention to little regional tournaments like this. Was this also a 5-min 3x3 OT w/ shootout format? Or do they play real hockey in Bostontown?

20-minute OT (Harvard scored at 19:59)

No. It was 3x3 for five minutes. Apparently due to an NCAA requirement. Harvard scored at 4:58.5.

Just watched it. 3x3 overtime remains incredibly dumb.

Having any overtime at all is Reagan.  Fun and inane and popular so, meh, whatevs.
3x3 is Dubya.  Nobody asked for or needed this but creeping meatballism is entropic.
Shootout is Dump.  A defilement and sheer malevolence.

I somehow like the shootout better than 3x3. At least the shootout doesn't pretend to be hockey.

• 3x3 is hockey. Just not what quote purists think of hockey as.  
  
• In Boston, the Beanpot is seen as more than hockey; they probably think it deserves a 20-minute OT.
• Would have been nice to see a Harvard-BU final but that wasn't to happen.

According to this, defenseman Peter Muzyka. He played 6 games last season as a junior, afaik, no games this season.

Brown wins 3-2 over RPI.

[Iceberg]

Harvard also hangs on in Hanover, so no real surprises tonight

All beans tonight.  2-2 final and a shiitout.

[Beeeej]

Hate to say it, but that was some really exciting 3x3 hockey in tonight's Beanpot final. Watching Sucks go 0-for in the shootout was icing on the cake.

As the 5-minute OT came to an end, one of the announcers said he wished they would just keep playing 3-on-3 overtime instead of going to a shootout. He noted that with all of the open ice in 3-on-3, it wouldn't take that much time for one of the teams to score a goal. It sounded like neither one of the broadcasters was a fan of deciding the tournament title in a shootout.

The one opining his wish for two 3x3 overtimes was less a fan of hockey than  scoring.  It was a great game to watch and Harvard's shooting was on display for much of it.

Since they claimed this was the first shootout I wonder what the OT history is. Wikipedia has a 3 OT listed with Harvard over NE in the play in game of 1963 and another for BU over NE in 1965.

As recently as 2020 there were two 2 OT games including NE's won in the final. Is the NCAA mandating the OT rules in this tournament?

The announcers said last Monday that the NCAA isn't allowing teams to play more than a 5-minute overtime during the regular season.

That's what I remembered hearing recently too.  We bow to their authority.
