He problem is hockey is a team sport not a one on one game. I saw on another board someone suggest alternating power plays, like overtime in college football. Each team would getone 5-4, and then 5-3 until someone wins. At least the actual game is being played. I like penalty shots when they come about because of actual action on the ice. Hell you can put each teams policeman out there and let them go at it. It's no less of the game than a penalty shot. The wings would get smoked most of the time, but it would give Downey a call up.
