Thoughts on modifying the OT format to prevent marathon games like this one? Or does everyone like this on the rare occasion it happens.

I don't want to go to shoot out but might be open to something like:

1st OT played 5v5
2nd OT played 4v4
3rd and subsequent OT played 3v3

I think most OT games are resolved in the first session anyway (?)
