If games go to ongoing 5v5 or 4v4 OT, or if we bring back ties then sure but not with the current OT format.
Under the current rules and with what the NHL is trying to promote a 3-2-1 system by far makes the most sense.

Agree to disagree...teams aren't going to sit back when there is no loser point to fall back on.
Personally I would go 3 on 3 and then 2 on 2 until it ends. If you lose an OT game too bad for you...teams in every other sport survive. Christ in the NFL they flip a coin for possession.
