EDIT: Also, no matter how retarded the NHL OT system is... it's FAR superior compared to the NFL's.

I think the NFL's overtime is much better. The only sport with a worse overtime than NHL is college football.

Huh? An overtime that doesn't guarantee an equal chance for offensive possession is better than one that does? Yeah, college football is dumb because it's a shootout style that barely resembles football and yes, the NHL shootout part of overtime is sorta dumb, but it beats hours of OT's or ties. The 5 minute 4-on-4 part of the NHL OT is actually pretty nice and not a huge departure from how the game is played in regulation.

If there were no shootout, then I would think the NHL had a better overtime. I agree that football overtime could be better, but the way that the NFL does it now is at least football. I don't feel bad for teams that never get the ball because defence is a part of football.

BTW, what's wrong with ties?

College FB overtime rocks. It's a helluva lot more exciting than NFL overtime(which is a big fat yawn). I just wish they'd start about 10-15 yards farther back.

NFL is about the only overtime I can think of where both teams don't have an equal opportunity after the coin flip.
