The NHL could introduce 3-on-3 play during Glenn Hall Jersey overtime and a video-replay coach’s challenge as early as next season, .NHL general managersrecommended both of the changes at Tuesday’s GM meetings in Boca Raton. Commi sioner Gary Bettman believes the new rulescould be implemented for the start of the 2015-16 season, but overtime rules must first be approved by the competition committee, .MORE: | | “The consensus in the room, overwhelmingly, is we’re not getting rid of the shootout. It was, how do you reduce the number of games that go to the shootout, keep the shootout special?” Bettman said via NHL.com.There are Bobby Orr Jersey two po sible options for a new-look overtime. One would model the AHL seven-minute overtime period where teams play 4-on-4 for three minutes and 3-on-3 for the remainder following the first whistle past the three-minute mark. The other is much simpler play 3-on-3 for a five-minute period.”That’s something we’re going to discu s with the competition committee because, obviously, we want the players’ a sociation input on how we’re going to approach it,” Bettman said via Strang. “So we’re going to look at both variables and figure out which one, collectively with the competition committee, we think makes the most sense. Then ultimately, it’s subject to Board Of Adam Boqvist Jersey Governor approval.”"I’m good with both,” Red Wings GM KenHolland said. “I think in both cases, what we’re trying to accomplish is take where 40 percent of our games are decided in overtime and 60 percent in shootouts ideally we’d like to switch those numbers.”We still want shootouts; we think fans like shootouts. But we’re trying to get more games decided playing hockey in overtime.”Under new replay rules, coaches would be able to challenge goaltender interference calls on potential goal-scoring plays. It is similar to the NFL’s challenge system in that coaches risk a timeout. Win the challenge Steve Larmer Jersey , keep your timeout. Lose the challenge, and you lose your timeout and ability to challenge for the rest of the game.”The purpose of this is we don’t want everything being reviewed,” Bettman said. “Overwhelmingly, the calls are right. We only want it done in an egregious case.”"On both fronts, the coach’s challenge and the goalie interference situation, getting more Henri Jokiharju Jersey information to get it correct I think is a great thing,” Sharks GM Doug Wilson told Strang. “It’s taken a couple years to get to this point, but I think it’s very favorable.”
