Yeah, this is a “see, we’re doing something about it” response by the league that doesn’t actually address the issue of the heightened risk of injury that comes with prolonging the game which they claim is a focus. I didn’t mind the rules as they were, but at this point, the best solution is to eliminate OT in the regular season and just have OT during the playoffs and have it be the team that loses the toss gets an opportunity to respond until they either fail to score in kind or they out score the toss winner. There’s probably a clearer way to explain that but I’ll leave it at that.
