I don't think 10 minutes would be so bad for OT. It would just force teams to use more players.

At least he’s given up on the “I only provide objective commentary” act.
Couldn’t provide a rational argument if it hit him in the face.
He's shows him up everytime they play each other. I don't think he cares here. Nate wants to win and is an aloha not a pouting beta like McDavid.

God damn are some people salty that MacKinnon didn't pass to McDavid on that one odd-man rush.

Could McDavid have more of a dont pass to me look? Anyone with a reasonable one timer would have been cocked stick to the ceiling ready to drop a bomb. I wouldve shot this too. And why is he so far away?
Easily could have taken it to the backhand and slipped it to McDavid but hes out in no mans land.
Makar deferred to him too to stay on D. Probably wouldve been over then if the Dawg, the best passer in the league today, had someone with some balls with him on this 2 on 1.

Was saying Boo-urns
the funniest thing to me is that MacKinnon led the league in shots last season
he's statistically the most likely player in the entire NHL to take a shot when he has one
This doesn't necessarily imply that. You'd also need data for the amount of opportunities the players have. It's possible that MacKinnon generates the most opportunities to take a shot, not that he decides to shoot on them at the highest rate.

Any team McDavid is on, hes Alpha. Youll know that by the end of the tourny. Nate is hitching his wagon with Crosby. I guarantee you, if they played 97 with Crosby, you would notice the difference 97 and Mackinnon in an instance. McDavid is hell of a lot more cerebral than Nate.

lol right...
No comment on the screenshot above wtf cerebral boy was doing on the 2 on 1? Looks like he deferred to the best player in the world instead of doing literally anything useful.
I notice the difference the Avs when Oilers play. Nate dominates and sets the tone early

I’d like 4 on 4 for 5 mins then 3on3 for 5. I don’t understand the argument that it’d too tiring, there’s 18 skaters for a reason especially when only 4 or 3 of them are on the ice at a time. The best player doesn’t have to play the whole 10 mins.
I would imagine the folks behind the scenes who most don't want to extend OT would be NHL coaches. They already play for the tie and then double or triple shift their handful of best players to try to win in the extra time. They'd have to come up with something other than sending the same six guys over the boards every other shift.
The 6 guys with the least amount of ice time in the game should be forced to be the only ones playing in OT. Would be fun to watch. Then you can strategically give one of your good players less ice time in the third to make him available for OT (with the risk of throwing the game in regulation).
