I never liked the whole first-score-wins OT system.

///

And speaking of college ball, ZOMG USC-UCLA this weekend. It's the only time of the year where the entire city falls into schism.

I disagree. One of the things that mars Rugby Union (OMG NON-AMERICAN SPORT) matches is when the Golden Rule comes into effect in overtime.

The first team to score a point (try, field goal or penalty goal) wins, so it's just a scramble to throw it to the winger, so he can boot it from 30m out. It's tense, yes, but it's also a bit unsatisfying.

[QUOTE=BoboTheRagingHobo]How is it "gimmicky?

When I watched foot ball, I prefered college style OT as it seemed more fair and more intense.

OT in the NFL is just about who ever gets the first possession and gets in range for a field goal. Whoop de do da, boring.

There's just something about that system that bugs me. I don't know what it is. I agree with you, it does make it a little more fair, but there's just something about it I don't like.

Maybe it's just that it's set up in a different format from the rest of the game. I'm kind of a traditionalist in that way. Not just with football either, with hockey too.

I think that new rule in the NHL with the lines behind the net that limit the goalie's available area to play the puck is the worst rule ever.

But on the flipside, I don't like hockey, but even I get excited during sudden death OT hockey in the playoffs.

Shootouts, on the other hand, are boring as hell.

Nothing better than a goal in the 3rd overtime period in the NHL playoffs. That's excitement!

EDIT: I don't mind shoot-outs that much, unless they bring them into the playoffs, then I'll be angry.

They are trying to make it more of a sport about scoring as many goals to bring in more new coming fans to make more money, that's what it seems like.

So I guess the goalies have to step it up even more, which is lame because they already work extremely hard to keep the puck out of the net as it is.

And hockey playoffs are fu[SIZE="2"]cking intense, especially when it comes to over time.[/SIZE] I personally find playoff hockey to be the funnest time ever to watch a sport.

But sudden death for hockey is different, as it's not the luck of a coin drop to who gets first possession and also the fact that the possession of the puck changes every few seconds most of the time.

Yeah that's definitely true what you said about the fate of the game not relying on a coin toss.

Playoff time would be a little less stressfull for me if I wasn't a die-hard Leafs fan. I get my hopes up every year, and every year it's like a knife in the heart when they get eliminated.

That goalie rule is so terrible though. Afterall, the whole reason they made all these rule changes was to let the skill of the game flourish. So what do they do? They bring in a rule that limits the skill of goaltenders! Seriously, not just any goalie can handle the puck like Martin Brodeur, that is a skill that must be developed over time, and I think it's a [SIZE="2"]d[/SIZE]amn shame that they'd bring in a rule that makes that skill obsolete. I agreed with pretty much every other rule change, but that one.

/end rant.

Ya, they don't have the greatest luck in the play offs.

I am/was a die hard Avalanche fan when I watched hockey all the time, so they always went far in the play offs except the two times they went into a 7 game series against the stars for the western championship. At the time my friend was a die hard Stars fan, so he rubbed it in all the time. They were always close games too, very intense.

Edit : Wow...when did Forsberg to to the Flyers?
