the rule that disallows it is the fact that by the time you were two minutes into the period people would be throwing things on the ice and trying to kill the players and stuff.

ok sorry i guess the coaches are just dumb.

is there anything in the rules that disallows this? like unsportmanlike conduct or something?

hockey is also dumb for other reasons.

ill let other elaborate

Why don't you explain the other reasons since you failed at your first attempt to kill hockey?

I think OT points are dumb anyways.

Just get rid of overtime. 2 points for a win, 1 for a tie, 0 for a loss. It would be much better that way.

Any of the following systems would be fine.
3 for reg win 2 for ot/so win 1 for ot/so loss 0 for reg loss
2 for a win 1 for a tie. No OT
Just keep tracks of wins and losses.

Collusion rules would not allow it.

I agree pudge, but on the 3-2-1 scenerio I'd rather see 2-2-0. 2 for reg win, 2 for OT win, 0 for any loss. I don't like that a loss is rewarded with anything.

All things considered, though, I'd like to see OT scrapped and tied games stay tied. I'm old school on this.

what about just play it like playoffs and play as many OT's as necessary?

Unless they were to substantially shorten the regular season (a good idea that will never happen), this may be just too much. Who wants to see a regular season game go six or seven periods?

this is why the nhl sucks, not hockey
