Fans and analysts are weighing the merits of adopting a CFL-style play clock or sudden-death overtime format to add fresh dynamics to the game. The discussion highlights the growing crossover interest between Canada’s two major winter sports, blending hockey’s tradition with football’s strategic twists. Proponents argue such a rule could inject excitement, while critics question whether it would dilute the classic’s signature structure.
