BOCA RATON, Fla. -- NHL general managers spent the first day of their three-day meetings discussing overtime and shootouts, expanded video reviews and goalie interference. The opening session Monday featured three breakout groups of 10 general managers, with each group assigned particular topics. There appears to be some concern that too many games are being decided in shootouts instead of during the flow of play. Of the 135 of 963 games played through last Saturday, 14 per cent were decided in a shootout. And 40 per cent that went to overtime were decided in a shootout. Among the suggested changes being discussed are a 3-on-3 element instead of four skaters apiece in the extra 5-minute session; extending the overtime; or requiring teams to switch ends of the ice, creating a longer change on line changes. But there doesnt seem to be a strong consensus toward any particular direction -- or even if overtime needs to be changed. Colin Campbell, the NHL executive vice-president and director of hockey operations, viewed the overtime issue as both an official and a hockey fan. "I think what the challenge is to maybe not have as many shootouts," Campbell said. "A lot of people in the game would rather see the game decided (not) in a skills contest. "I would, too, but Im the last one to leave the room when theyre doing the shootout. I like watching to see whats going to happen. So Im kind of torn in that direction." The discussion of expanded video review seems weighted on when to start reviewing the tape and how much time a review takes. "I will say there wasnt a lot of consensus on the criteria," said Craig MacTavish, Edmontons general manager. "Theres a lot that goes into it when youre trying to evaluate the specific criteria, like how long from the incident are you going to reel it back? "There was no resolution in our group in terms of making many changes to video review." The increase in activity around the net has also led to an interest in goalie interference at this weeks meetings. "Theres so much play around the net now, the way our game is now with everybody collapsing and boxing out and blocking shots," said Bryan Murray, Ottawas GM. "All the plays now that are goals, in most cases, theres some kind of foot in the crease. Im not interested in that. But if the goaltender is not allowed to make a play on the shot, then we should we get the call as correct as we can." Also on the agenda is kicked-in goals. "I think there is an appetite to have directed goals be allowed," said Tim Murray, Buffalos general manager. "I know it says distinct kicking motion, but (with) a blatant lift-your-foot-off-the-ice kick type of thing not allowed." On Tuesday, members of the breakout groups will report to the whole meeting.

NCCU, the odds-on favorite to win the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, stumbled out of the gate with a challenging schedule, losing to North Carolina, Creighton and Cincinnati, but since then it has ripped off five straight wins to improve to 6-3. The Eagles began MEAC play over the weekend by defeating Maryland-Eastern Shore on Friday (68-63) and Howard on Sunday (61-39). Maryland opened the season up with six straight wins to surge into the Top-25 before suffering its first setback of the season to Virginia in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Dec. 3, 76-65. The Terps bounced back on Saturday afternoon with an easy win over Winthrop, 82-62. Maryland defeated NCCU in the only previous meeting between the programs last December in College Park, 70-56. The Eagles most recent contest was never in question, as they opened up a 27-19 halftime lead over Howard and cruised the rest of the way en route to a 22-point victory. They shot 47.8 percent from the field, including 10-of-25 from 3-point range, all while holding Howard to less than 30 percent shooting overall. Anthony McDonald was especially active from beyond the arc (7-of-15) on his way to a game-high 21 points. Jordan Parks tallied a true double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds, while Nimrod Hilliard contributed nine points and eight assists. On the season, NCCU boasts stellar percentages from the field (.4880) and 3- point range (.dddddddddddd396) and scores 68.1 ppg, which is more than enough to support an outstanding defense that allows just 53.4 ppg on 34.6 percent shooting. McDonald leads the way with 14.6 ppg and has drained 36-of-82 from long range (.439). Parks (14.1 ppg, 6.6 rpg) is right on McDonalds heels for the scoring lead, while Dante Holmes chips in 11.9 ppg. The Terps had their hands full with Winthrop early on in their latest contest, as they were locked up in a tie game early in the second stanza, but they took control with a 7-0 run and eventually pulled away for the 20-point victory. Not only did they outshoot Winthrop from the field (47.8 percent to 36.2 percent), but they outscored it at the free-throw line (29-11) and held a firm advantage on the glass (37-26). Jake Layman poured in a game-high 21 points, while Melo Trimble logged 16 points and seven assists. Richaud Pack also scored 16, Jared Nickens netted 12 off the bench and Damonte Dodd added nine points, 10 rebounds and three blocks. Maryland has performed well on both ends of the floor this season, scoring 76.5 ppg on a lofty 48.5 percent field goal shooting while allowing just 62.5 ppg on 37 percent from the floor. The squad isnt at full strength with Dez Wells (16.2 ppg) out with a broken wrist, but theres still some good talent to rely on. Trimble (16.5 ppg) has assumed the role of go-to scorer and has impressive percentages from the field (.477), 3-point range (.441) and the foul line (.887). Layman brings 14.5 ppg and 5.6 rpg to the mix, and Dion Wiley (8.3 ppg) acts as a spark off the bench. ' ' '
