I'm glad an American brought it up. :-) I think my .sig says it all. I can't
see deciding something important with a thing that isn't hockey. Why not have
a fight-off at centre ice? The way I see it, after 10 minutes of OT, keep it
a tie, and in the playoffs just keep going into next week, if need be.
I don't buy the excitement argument, either. Car crashes are exciting, too. So
should we see more car crashes?
See you later,
John
