Actually, it is...already, they feel that the ice towards the latter stages of the 5-min OT is bad enough, and that extending the time the game would be played on that ice any more would certainly require making ice. I tend to agree. Also, on the shootout...I'm not sure teams will feel such a need to "take care of business" since they are guaranteed a point if they can hold on for a tie. Then, all they need is to win the shootout to grab another point. Now, if the winner of the SO got 2 pts and the loser none, I would be more inclined to agree that teams will try to win it in OT (or regulation). If anyone has any ideas similar to Keith's about how HE should represent its standings, I would like to hear them. This seems to be an important enough issue that I would like to bring it up with the appropriate people next time I stop by Merrimack. Keith's suggestion was a good one and I plan to mention it, but maybe someone else has an even better one. --- --- Mike Machnik [log in to unmask] Cabletron Systems, Inc. *HMM* 11/13/93 <<<<< Color Voice of the Merrimack Warriors (station TBA for 94-95) >>>>>
