The NHL is in the entertainment business. If people are entertained then they will watch. That is what counts. Maybe I should have worded it differently and used the word entertained rather than liked. I don't 'like' a shootout determining a game but I will almost always watch it because it is entertaining. And in the entertainment business being entertained = liking.
I'd rather the 3v3 be extended to 10 minutes to be honest, I don't think the NHLPA has an appetite for that however.
