In lieu of a longer response I had planned:
First choice: No overtime
Second choice: Unlimited overtime
Facetious choice (prompted by Arthur Mintz scoring proposal:
Win in regulation 2 points
Win in overtime 1 point, 0 for loser
Tie 1 point each
(As to 2nd choice, that is not feasible for college hockey.)
Not so facetious: After EVERY game (there are no OTs) a shootout that
has no bearing on team standings. Maybe this could be spunoff as a
separate sport.
