I'm fine with this for now. As we say in Buffalo "We like Eich(el)."

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

The NHL overruns its broadcasting spots a lot, and it is trying to shorten up the length of games. The change to 3x3 is nothing more than that.

The NHL really had nothing to do with the decision. They only agreed to it after the teams themselves came forward and said "we want this". Many of the teams did not like that 2nd point being determined solely on the skills of 2 players.

When I said "NHL" I meant the whole of the sport as defined by the umbrella term "NHL".

Yeah, but the teams have nothing to do with the way the game is televised, and issues like that. That is an NHL issue. As I said, this was decided below that level, then taken to the governers, and they weren't left with much of a choice but to accept it.
