One of the things the NHL did in helping to open up the game in overtime is taking an ice player from the play and allowing for speed and skill to become a greater factor in determining the outcome. They also shifted points awarded for each game (teams that lose in a penalty-shot loss are still awarded a point).
I don't think taking a player off the field in our game would open things up in terms of play, pace and so forth, but is there an equivilant? Is there a chance we might go to just a points system for regular season play (and here I go into the high school soccer realm) instead of going to pks for every single match?
