I haven't follow hockey for a while and I still thought the OT was played 4 on 4. Never knew it was changed to 3 on 3. I personally don't mind the shoot outs, as I find them quite fun and exciting to watch. As long as playoff games are not decided by shoot outs, I'm fine with that.

Speaking of playoff OT games, I still remember watching round 1 game 1 of the 2007 playoffs, where Vancouver beat Dallas 5-4 in 4OT. That game was looong. It was not only a marathon for the players, but also a marathon for the fans. I almost fell asleep watching it because it was so late. I think Luongo made over 70 saves or something. Just a crazy game.
