Back from our (hopefully) regularly-scheduled Phillies revelry...
This game from last night at Honda Center in Anaheim should be self-evident as to why ties finished after 65 minutes of play should be returned to the NHL.
I heard from my co-worker (a non-hockey fan with some knowledge of the sport) who had to write the game last night that by the 10th round, nobody had the energy - much less the imagination - to try and score.
After some legendarily elongated shootout rounds over the last three-plus years, it's time for the NHLPA to speak up with volume. Sending the fans home with either a win or a loss result for "entertainment purposes" is not a valid excuse for these guys to get worn out.
I can't say about 1-1 or 2-2 deadlocks, but I'm pretty damn sure that a 6-6 tie is more than a return investment on the fan's dollar.
