Watching a great game of hockey end in a tie, then get decided by a gimmicky 3 on 3 match or SO is not boring, but it cheapens the product IMNSHO.
Hockey is a sport of 5 on 5 for 60 mins. In playoffs where a winner is needed, you continue playing 5 on 5 until a winner is decided. It's simple.

Now hockey is a game of 5 on 5 for 60 minutes then 3 on 3 for 5 minutes until a winner is decided. If tied, a shootout. It's simple.
It cheapens nothing. This is an entertainment industry. If you watch a 3 on 3 there isn't a person sitting by the end. It's exhilarating. Why is change so scary?
