Absolutely not.

Hockey is meant to be played 6 on 6 (w/goalies) except for penalties and that's how it should stay. It's exciting for a 5-minute regular season OT, but NOT in the playoffs.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Keep it 5 on 5 (or 6 on 6 as babs put it! hey....babs? welcome home buddy!)

The game is designed to be 5 on 5 and the premier stage for the game should not be bastardized because a couple broadcasters want to go to bed.

5 on 5 all the way. What's the next step if we get 4-5+ Ot periods with a 4 on 4 format? Each period we drop a guy? Start 5 on 5 then down to 4 guys a side in double Ot, 3 in triple Ot and so on til we have just one guy on each team?

Ok they're not likely to do that, but they might try to implement a shootout after 1,2, or 3 overtimes. I love it the way it is.. let's not change it. Tinker with the regular season OT all u want!

All I have to say is I agree with "bablaboushka" lets try and keep the game the way it should be. Quit trying to bring in absurd rules, add the excitement such as ovechin, crosby,

Why should we go to 4 on 4. Canadians don't seem to want it, if it's from Americans, would they want baseball to go to a home run derby in extra innings.
