| The most annoying part is, since they do a full 20 minute OT period, they add in a 3rd intermission. It's frustrating to watch 20 minutes of INT, just to watch another 4 minutes of hockey. |

| Is there a shootout after the first 20 min OT? For some reason I thought there was. |

Reg. season is 5 min sudden death, then shootout. | |

| Before the regular season OT change, did they play 20 mins and then have a shootout? | |

| Regular season, they play 1 OT (5 minute 4 on 4) period followed by a shootout. In the postseason, they play OT (20 minute full strength) periods until someone wins.

| As far as I know, and I'm a pretty recent NHL fan, way back it was a 10 minute sudden death OT. In mid 80s it was changed to 5 minute sudden death OT. In 2000, they went to the current 4 on 4 OT for regular season. Playoff OTs are still played with each team at full strength.
In mid-2000s, they added the shootout at the end of OT, and no longer allowed regular season ties. | |

| I'm pretty sure in the NHL ties were allowed through 2005, not the 80s. The rule change in the 80s was going from 10 minute OT to 5 minute.
The 4 on 4 just facilitates scoring, I believe. 4 on 4s favor the offensive team. | |
