I enjoyed the game. I thought it was a well played hockey game that was fun to watch. The talk about it being boring or unwatchable is a crock. I thought the team played well right off the hop. Just to bad they couldn't bury their chances to walk away with the extra point.

I do wish they would play 10 min of OT. The 5 min ot took around 6 minutes in real time to play. The shootout with only the 5 shooters took just over 4 minutes in real time. I would guess that a full 6 shooters would bring that closer to 5 minutes which is getting pretty close to another full 5 min 3 v3. As soon as a game goes to extra shooters I would imagine at that point you could have easily got another 5 min of 3v3 in.
