I don't want to start a fight & am not insulting John Haeussler, who said in his post: I prefer seeing 4-on-4's and even 3-on-3's, but I can see the argument against them in college hockey. IMHO, this favors the more talented team, and there is a larger variance in college than in the NHL with regard to What is wrong with favoring the most talented team? Maybe I am missing something(a few people have suggested it sits behind my eyes) but this does not make sense to me. We don't want to penalize the penalized team? I heard that excuse in the NHL about the Oilers, supposedly it was too much of a penalty to other teams to have to go 4-4 or 3-3 against them. So we will penalize the good skating teams for being good skaters?
