Tie????

The Bonnyville Pontiacs and Fort McMurray Oil Barons skated to a 2-2 tie last night. A freakin tie!!!! In the AJHL when tied after 60 minutes the play a 5 minute 4 on 4 OT session just like the NHL. After that if it is still tied they go to 3 on 3. Now most leagues go to a shoot out after the first 5 minute OT decides nothing but the AJHL goes with the 3 on 3. Which by the way is very entertaining with end to end rushes and numerous 2 on 1's and last night the Pontiacs even had a 2 on none break away which they were unable to capitalize on. So now that the 3 on 3 solved nothing the game then goes to a........no where!!!! Game over. Both teams get a point and a Tie is the result. I HATE it. Ties are old fashioned. Robb thinks they should go 2 on 2 for another OT, which you would think would solve a game but I think a shoot-out after double OT in a regular season game in the AJHL should decide a winner. NO ONE likes a tie. The fans hate them, the players hate them, the coaches hate them, and even the radio guys hate them.



Unless they are these ties.

Except for the computer one...that is another tie I hate.
