I'll be disappointed if we lose this series. Only way I can see Phx winning is if Smith goes unconscious. We're just a better team, Preds in 5 or 6.

We have the better goalie, and better offense. We SHOULD win this in 6.

NSH in 3!

In case you missed it, duke, there are no shootouts in the playoffs.

yikes you're right...and I watched 2 of the OT chi/phx games...smh

 

[Thrasher865]

The most annoying part is, since they do a full 20 minute OT period, they add in a 3rd intermission. It's frustrating to watch 20 minutes of INT, just to watch another 4 minutes of hockey.

Game 1 will be on Friday

 

[Thrasher865]

Does that mean game 4 will be the following Friday? Pretty please. If so, I'll be there.

Is there a shootout after the first 20 min OT? For some reason I thought there was.

Not in the playoffs

Not sure, just passing along info from another board.

Nope. I'm pretty sure they just play another 20 min OT.

Reg. season is 5 min sudden death, then shootout.

 

[TDTennessee]

Before the regular season OT change, did they play 20 mins and then have a shootout?

 

[BearCat204]

Regular season, they play 1 OT (5 minute 4 on 4) period followed by a shootout. In the postseason, they play OT (20 minute full strength) periods until someone wins.

 

[BearCat204]

Before the regular season OT change, did they play 20 mins and then have a shootout?

No, it has always been a 5 minute sudden death, except before the late 80's if no one had scored at the end of the sudden death period, the game ended in a tie.

 

[Thrasher865]

As far as I know, and I'm a pretty recent NHL fan, way back it was a 10 minute sudden death OT. In mid 80s it was changed to 5 minute sudden death OT. In 2000, they went to the current 4 on 4 OT for regular season. Playoff OTs are still played with each team at full strength.

In mid-2000s, they added the shootout at the end of OT, and no longer allowed regular season ties.

I knew that, I don't know what I was thinking.

What's the reasoning behind the 4 on 4?

 

[Thrasher865]

I'm pretty sure in the NHL ties were allowed through 2005, not the 80s. The rule change in the 80s was going from 10 minute OT to 5 minute.

The 4 on 4 just facilitates scoring, I believe. 4 on 4s favor the offensive team.

17 mins**

 

[UTvol1fn]

that's of intermission...it's 17 mins between periods.

 

[Thrasher865]

Whatever.

What board. I would love to find a board dedicated to Predator hockey.

 

[Escape Goat]

Give more space for players. It's easier to score 4 on 4.

Hfboards, they have forums dedicated to every team.
