Stan Bowman opposes Connor McDavid's extended overtime proposal

Fans enjoyed the recent 4 Nations-Faceoff Tournament, which showcased top-level hockey. The tournament featured a new 10-minute 3-on-3 overtime format. This change was well-received by both fans and players. Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid supported the idea of adopting the longer overtime period in the NHL. He believes this format could enhance the excitement of the game. However, Stan Bowman, the general manager of the Oilers, disagrees. He attended the NHL GM meetings and expressed his view that the current overtime rules are sufficient. Bowman noted that while some players want the change, most general managers do not see it as necessary. The future of this potential rule change remains uncertain.
