On the Wings

Greg Wyshynski has a great piece posted at the NHL Fanhouse on the debate over whether or not to alter the NHL’s postseason superregulation play by eliminating continuous full-lenth, 5-on-5 overtimes in favor of some kind of half-baked, mediot-invented format. Obviously, I’m against any change to the system. NHL playoff overtimes as they stand, however stressful they may be, are an institution, in my mind. I wonder what the players, the group those who are trying to change the system are ostensibly protecting, think about the whole debate.
