Cooley Calls for Overtime Rule Change

0:00On March 27, Calgary Flames Goldtender Devon Cooley is calling for changes to NHL 3 on 3 over time. The 28-year-old has posted solid numbers this season, including a 2.51 goals against average and 0.915 save. Percentage over 27 games with a 9.9 and 5 record. In Thursday night's matchup, Cooley made 30 saves out of 33 shots, but Calgary still dropped a 3-2 decision to the Anheim Ducks. In overtime on a last second goal, that loss highlighted a trend he's frustrated with, teams pulling back into the neutral zone to reset instead of pushing forward. Cooley wants a rule banning retreats over the red line to ramp up the pace and excitement. He's joining other players and fans who feel overtime has lost some of its edge from years past. He amidst the tweak could mean tougher nights for Goli's facing more chaos, maybe even warranting separate stats for those periods. Still, he sees the entertainment value as worth it. As more voices like Cooley's way in, the league could soon revisit overtime rules to deliver the thrills everyone craves.
