Are they complaining that they wear the Jersey once in a great while? They should be ecstatic when they do.BluesSK wrote:Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Thu Nov 16, 2023 11:10 am "Beloved" is a bit of a stretch, imo. They averaged about 12k fans for their existence.

Teams used to move to another city and keep the name.
Calgary Flames, Los Angeles Lakers, Utah Jazz. Flint Tropics.
He's playing hurt, clearly not his usual self.
Oh okay. I mean, that's got to be the biggest drop off in history if he ends up season with 80 points - haDave's a mess wrote:He's playing hurt, clearly not his usual self.
Once you gain the zone you shouldn't be able to rag it back out and play keep-away to retain possession. If you do it should be a delay of game penalty.Ozzies09tc wrote: Fri Nov 17, 2023 3:09 pm In 3 on 3 OT some gm's want to eliminate the enter and retreat and regroup, another gm wants it longer (in terms of time)

Then the players will just hold onto it and never gain the zone.
Then we'll add a shot clock.
Or we could just go back to ties. The games would finish on time and you would think the NHL and networks would be happy with that?
Not a chance. More time = more commercials = more revenue. Who gives a shit about the sanctity of the sport or viewing experience (for the small percentage of fans actually still able to watch their hometown team)?BluesSK wrote: Fri Nov 17, 2023 7:52 pmOnce you gain the zone you shouldn't be able to rag it back out and play keep-away to retain possession.

Which then changes, again, in the playoffs.....Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Sat Nov 18, 2023 9:20 am JUST GET RID OF THE ENTIRETY OF 3 ON 3 HOCKEY!! Either end the game immediately at the end of regulation or go directly to a shootout if you're so concerned about ties for some weird reason. The idea of watching players play hockey for 60 minutes and then changing the entire format and rules of the game to decide the winner is beyond parody.
If they are doing it for fan entertainment, they should just have two players go to center ice and drop the gloves to decide the winner. The kicker is, the opposing team gets to pick the player your team has to send out to fight, make it more insulting. Now that would get the fans out of their seats!big d note wrote: Tue Nov 21, 2023 10:22 am I never minded ties and hated when they added the shootout. Maybe they could go back to ties, no more 3-point games, but have a shootout that only counts as some kind of tiebreaker for playoff seeding or whatever, not for points or wins. The fans that like the shootout get to watch it and feel like one of the teams still won the game, but it doesn't fuck with the standings.

The shoot out doesnt bother me... its a house keeping mechanism. The answer to this is easy... eliminate the loser point and teams will try harder to avoid over time. Injuries will likely go up though.BluesSK wrote: Tue Nov 21, 2023 5:17 pmI like this idea.big d note wrote: Tue Nov 21, 2023 10:22 am I never minded ties and hated when they added the shootout.

Where are this guys teammates? Can you imagine if this went down when hockey players were all grisly men instead of a bunch of little pussies?
