The NHL has already renovated a heavily-scrutinized overtime formula prior to this season, and introduced a shootout to solve the age-old "tie" dilemma, but just as traditionalists have grown accustomed to this fresh amendment and newer fans have taken a liking to the new NHL, the league should now revisit another pressing problem: playoff overtime.

Mr McDowell called on the POA either to accept his proposal to reduce the overtime bill or face implementation of the measures approved by Cabinet yesterday.
His threatened measures in the event of failure to reach agreement include the temporary closure of prisons at Spike Island and the Curragh from January, the introduction of a new entry grade for new prison officers and the staffing of the open prisons at Loughan House and Shelton Abbey by non-prison service staff.
Mr McDowell said prison officers' overtime payments had grown out of all control and were cannibalising funds allocated by the Oireachtas for major building, refurbishment and improvement of the prison service generally.
