Actually a well thought out article! I was expecting the sorts of arguments he debunks in his first paragraph.
Only thing I disagree with is that reducing the number of players in OT is as gimmicky as the Shootout. I recognize the shootout is here to stay (highlights on ESPN every night), but 3 on 3 still resembles hockey in some sense. Shootout doesn't.
