I'm not a fan of that rule. It strikes me as particularly strange to change a fundamental rule of the game solely for overtime. If 4 on 4 hockey is better, then they should use it all the time (don't they still have the Oilers rule -- matching penalties still result in 5 on 5 play?). Really what they need to do is expand all the rinks a few feet, although I don't know if that's feasible without major reconstruction.
