      If you bring back the tie you can expect a lot of teams to start playing trap defence. There is a reason it was called the “dead puck era”.

      I’m all for this. The OT and the point system is dumb for giving a point just for making it past 60 min - a win is a win is a win and only should be awarded points for winning.

      I realize the shootout is a skills competition, essentially, but whether it’s a win via a skills competition or a rogue breakaway then it’s a win regardless. Split the tie because you couldn’t win in regulation and then lose OT all together except for playoffs and Cup finals where there HAS to be a winner.

      I personally prefer the shootout to the tie. But I would like every game to be worth 3 points instead of some games being worth 2 and a third point magically appearing if you go to OT.
