All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

I think that 5 minutes is way to short to settle anything, it's like 8.5% of what was just played. We really do need to have an extra period and then go to a shootout to settle it, if necessary.
why only 10? i say 20. it shows who REALLY wants the win. or how about sudden death for REAL. game goes until someone scores, there are no periods..no time limit. teams get 2 timeouts each just in case it goes on a while

The thinking with OT was, about 1/3rd of playoff OT games end pretty quick. Toss in a guaranteed point, take off an attacker- (4 on 4) and you can settle a number of awful "ties" that used to plague the NHL.
5 minutes is just fine. I like the shootout if no one can resolve it. No one wants 3 1/2 hour games- especially players- if they have 3 road games in 4 nights.
Arenas are used for NBA, rock concerts, Ice Capades, the circus, arena football, you name it.
A place like Madison Square Garden or Boston Garden is used 5-6 nights a week some weeks
don't forget NLL lacrosse
HSBC Arena may have less going on than say, Madison Square Garden, but all the Arenas are multiple use. The NHL isn't a big enough money maker to support an arena all on their own....and even if it was, it'd be wasteful.
Shootsouts show individual skill. What does it have to do with the game that was played hard for, for that 2 hours??
