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!
How come in regular season games they don't play until a team wins? And, why don't they play sudden death? The first team to score wins.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm still learning. :) Thanks in advance for your responses. :)

Then why not play the sudden death rule? First team to score in overtime wins. I've seen overtime games where one team scores and yet they still play the entire period. And sometimes it ends up in a tie. I just don't get it.
I'm going to a hockey game tomorrow night and I'm trying to cram for my hockey test. lol

Overtime in regular season is one five-minute period, four skaters per side, sudden death.
Jaded, overtime in hockey is always sudden death. In the playoffs though, they play full periods with five skaters rather than five minutes, and play until someone wins. Those games can take hours and hours.
Tie's are one of the reason why the NHL isn't interesting as it could be. I heard that they want to make it 3 points for a win, 2 points for an overtime win and no points for overtime lose.
Originally posted by Sabre11 no points for overtime lose.
Me like. I've loathed the idea of giving a point for an OT loss since it started. A loss is a loss, right? It should net 0 points. It's the giving of 1 point to both teams as soon as they reach OT that gives the mentality of "play to stay tied".
Skate till ya die is kinda like playing a 20 inning baseball game. After a few innings, the players really don't care and just wanna go home.
However, 10 minutes, 4 on 4 would be sweet.

I didn't realize that overtime was only 5 minutes. How come they don't play a full period for overtime?
Hockey is very confusing!
