    The main reasons I'm against ties in the NHL are: a.) too many coaches are too timid to go for the full 2 points and play for a tie, and b.) the exorbitant ticket prices (at least in some markets). If neither is a problem in the NCAA (I don't know), then I don't see a problem with keeping ties.

    Most people in the NHL boards know I've hammered on a 2-2-1-0 points structure forever, but here's another idea: start OT 3-on-3 (20 minute periods) and keep going until there's a winner. I know unlimited OT is usually pooh-poohed for reasons of time (as I watch the end of yet another 4+ hour Yankees/Red Sox game) and potential injury, but wouldn't 3-on-3 produce a quick winner 9 times out of 10?
    I think 3-on-3 would definitely produce a quick winner in college hockey. Especially for teams (like the Gophers) who play on the Olympic sheet.

    I'd actually be interested to see how that would work out.

    Although I'm sure college coaches would never allow that, due to the weekend series set up.

    On that note, I really hope they don't mess with that. Leave it on Fridays and Saturdays!!! There has already been some rumblings that the B1G may want hockey on weeknights. I believe the Gophers only have 1 or 2 series this season that aren't on Friday/Saturday. I'll be really annoyed if there's any more than that in the future.

      Mariucci Arena opened 20 years ago this week. Six weeks later, Roald Amundsen and team of explorers reached far end of ice sheet.

        I'm almost exactly two years older than Mariucci!

        That barn has seen a lot of great moments. It's been fun watching/reading all the moments that have been posted around the net lately.

        Two of my favorites:


        GWG to clinch the MacNaughton. Loudest I've ever heard Mariucci.

        And this one. I'm the guy at :32 in the white hat being distracted by Goldy from doing the rouser properly, haha
