OT should be a Power Play format as follows:
- Coin toss decides
- Team A goes on a 2 minute, 5 on 4 power play against Team B
- If Team B scores short handed, game over. Team B wins.
- If Team A scores in, say 50 seconds, then clock gets reset to 50 seconds
- Team B now has a chance to go on a 50 second, 5 on 4 powerplay
- If Team B scores before the clock runs out, Team B wins
- If Team B fails to score before the buzzer, Team A wins
- If no team scores after each have a power play chance, they then go on alternating 5 on 3 power plays with the same format as above until a winner is decided.
In this scenario, the game is decided on an actual game scenario (the powerplay) rather than a skills scenario (shoot out). No reason not to go to a simple Wins and Losses point system with this format.
I will bump this post when this is implemented in 5 years and we all love it.

Ugh no offence but I hate this idea.
1. Too complicated
2. I hate powerplays
3. It fundamentally changes how the game is played from who scores the most to who scores the fastest
