It is a broken record in OT and the shootout now. Great effort by CBJ.

Sometime between mid April and the end of June?
That would be when it ends. My comment was how, which was admittedly a lazy comment on how annoying these OTs have become. But I’m a casual hockey fan and not a diehard like you guys so I’ll bow out.

Unless there are a bunch of OT penalties, it wont end with 3 on 3 play.

They're extremely annoying, no argument there. Thankfully they've banked enough points and 3 on 3/shootout doesn't apply to the playoffs.

That said - at some point later in the season they are going to regret pissing away a lot of these points. I don't think winning the division is a sure thing anymore like it was 3-4 weeks ago.

Bruins are going to Babe Ruth the OTL records at this rate (projecting to almost 22):

Most OTL in a season (since shootout was introduced in 2005-06)
2008-09 Lightning - 18
2011-12 Panthers - 18
2013-14 Devils - 18
2014-15 Flyers - 18

Definitely. Such a good team with an annoying, if not weird flaw. Do you see an impact RW trade happening this year? Feels like similar issues to last year based on the games I've seen.
