I agree the tie needs to go, they are trying out a system next year in the minor leagues (in the AHL i believe) where there would be no ties, they would play an overtime period, if no one scored they would have a shootout. i think thats what they have needed to do all along.Any sport that you can end the game in a TIE isn't a sport:nonono:
:rollseyes Thats highly unlikly that a team would tie 77 games. Even the worst teams in the league cant pull that off. Maybe a tie is easier in basketball but its quite hard in hockeyOriginally posted by idareu
Here is something to think about Hockey fans:
Hockey is the only sport where you could win 5 games out of 82 games and still make the playoffs!!!
Btw you would just need a tie in the other 77 games and you would a 1pt for each tie so at the end of the season you have 87 pts and you will most likely make the playoofs. Something is not right with that system!

Well Hockey is a sport, not sure about the ties but, how about these for "questionable" sports
Golf
Fishing
Hiking
Racing
Skating
I've seen the pros/cons of all of these. Some say Golf can't be a sport, since you don't sweat much, and you can play well into your 70's. Do you have to sweat for it to be a sport? What about racing? your ass never leaves the seat? Personally to me they are all sports in some way, if you compete, and you have to have some skill, dexterity, or physical conditioning to excel, it is a sport. I'de love to see what you guys think.
