Empty nets should be banned

Does anyone else hate hate hate hate hate empty nets? I think the NHL should ban it. Or maybe I’m 1000% on the wrong side every nhl game I’ve ever bet in my life nonetheless it’s so annoying. Makes me want to throw up. I truly hate the empty net aspect of hockey seriously 

@TreyInventor

 What specific game are you talking about?

Every single game really but tonight was the flames. I had under 6.5 and knew it was done when flames made it 4-2

Yeah betting under's in the NHL can be rough.

U really make no sense...Its just like say the onside kick in football should be banned or the fouling late in game in basketball should be banned..How do u expect teams to comeback in Hockey..

@TreyInventor

  I feel for u..So many times after the 1st period its 1-0 and they end up going over....

Totally know the feeling, I had correct score at 4-2 caps big +$ but knew they were going to pull goalie and score into mt net, unnecessary 

@B Lugosi

 Damn how much were u gonna win?

Dave- the onside kick isn’t a proper comparison. More times than not they don’t recover the onside kick. Once they pull the goalie in hockey it’s like an 80% chance another goal will be scored. And then even if they’re still down by 2 goals they’ll still go empty net and give up another goal lol like wtf. The goalie should have to stay in his fkn place but yes I know I’m crying like a bytch for losing a bet just say that. But don’t compare an onside kick to empty net. It’s not the same at all. 

@TreyInventor

 I'm not so sure it's actually 80% with the empty nets.

The books let you live bet empty nets and they would get killed if it it was actually 80%.

If you want to score goals then score goals. Don’t wait til the last 3 minutes. It’s stupid as fck to me. But wtf do I know 

I know the feeling ,been burned a few times on empty net ,costing me from winning a few thousand 

The thing is about gambling is you're always going to complain when it doesnt go your way, but we all know there were some wagers you made in which you got lucky and it did go your way. I'm sure you benefited a few times on an empty net when you had the OVER before. BTW...I had over 5.5 in the Flames Caps game. It hit 4-2 before the net was even empty. Had a gut feeling this game would go over since everyone was taking the under I like to go opposite. 

i've seen a few teams tie it after they pull the goalie so I wouldn't ban it 

Why I hesitate to take 1.5.

Can't stand when these teams pull with like 2-4 minutes left.

i had under 5.5 in canes/devils. It was 2-1 carolina with 1:08 to go

when canes scored empty net goal. Then devils scored with

8 seconds to go to make it 3-2. Canes win a face off with 5 seconds

to go and get another empty net goal to win 4-2. Worst beat you can

have 

or don't wager pregame or live at all, wait for the final 7 or so minutes and bet for or against the EN. 

@TreyInventor

 Do you have the facts that it's 80% or you just guessing. I'd say you're way off on that. 

You win some and you lose some with the empty netter, no point crying about it. Stop playing unders and the +1/+1.5 and you won't have to worry about empty net goals.

@Brooklyncapper

 That’s it exactly brother. Was a time you’d feel pretty proud of yourself with the Under going into the third 1-1 or 2-1. Now you just assume you’ll lose.

@TreyInventor

 @Klaista2k

It is far higher than 80% — closer to 95% —if I have the UNDER. 
When I have the OVER — then it is right at 10%. 

Over/Unders in hockey for the most part are a crapshoot because of the empty netters.  If you don't like empty netters the other option is the 1st period totals.

Interesting enough there is a really good amount of insight going on in this thread.

The empty net is a factor. It’s pretty much a break away play almost like basketball minus the extra guy.

Makes for a great end to a tight game and quite miraculous when your team comes back to win in that fashion. 

It sucks to lose period. Take care all 

@smellybunty

 Exactly.

There's almost no point to take a team +1.5 bcuz of the empty net at the end. 

@Raiders22

 Not a chance.

The books let you live bet empty net situations. If it was 95% they would kill absolutely killed.
