Personally, i would not mind using ties in the regular season. However, if you are going to use ties, you must play more than 2- 5 minute overtime periods. As a coach, I'm not a huge fan of PKs... as a player (and i was a GKer) i loved them!!!
I would say that if you are going to use ties, go to a format that uses 2-10 minute overtime periods and is NOT golden goal. In the playoffs, i think there needs to be a non-golden goal segment and a golden goal segment before advancing to PKs.
