Welcome to my first ever post looking at making the league a better place. There's lots of things people argue about in the NHL. It's a very divisive league. On a good day you will hear people arguing about things like Hits, Icing, Bringing back the two-line pass, etc... However you can always recognize the people who seem to actually care by listening to the ones who discuss the Shootout. As the very first post of this fledgling blog, Chris wrote about how he felt about the shootout. I'm of much the same mind. I think the tie-breaking in the NHL has become little more than a sham. I'm not a fan of 3 point games, and I think the league could be better simply by doing away with what amounts to little more than a skills competition.
