Another hockey season is well under way and with it, The Dreger Report makes its season debut today and will be posted post every Friday on TSN.ca. Extra Time Issues Is it merely a matter of time before the National Hockey League moves to 3-on-3 overtime, or is jeopardizing the future of the shootout too risky? The American Hockey League is currently testing an overtime formula that begins with the dreaded dry scrape before three minutes of 4-on-4, followed by four minutes of 3-on-3. Through Friday, the AHL has had six overtime games - with three decided in the first three minutes and three decided in the new 3-on-3 window. Yes, its a small sample size, but not one AHL game this season has required a shootout to decide a winner. The NHL, unwilling to embrace 3-on-3, is watching the AHL experiment closely. And while its interested in the early returns, the league understandably needs to see more games and more data before making (another) overtime change the top agenda when NHL general managers meet in March. NHL sources suggest the 3-on-3 success in the American Hockey League will generate a larger debate. If games are overwhelmingly decided in overtime, it will naturally minimize the shootout. And many believe that league brass doesnt want to see that happen. For that matter, a good percentage of NHL fans may not want to see that happen, either. Now both the NHL and AHL are both using the dry scrape and long change. The dry scrape, a.k.a. The Buzz Kill, was introduced to provide a better playing surface in hopes of generating goals and curbing shootouts. While arena crews manning two Zamboni machines have cut their time to a reasonable four-and-a-half to five minutes, there are some in both leagues who are still irked by the halt in momentum. The long change strategy - where teams switch sides in overtime to encourage defensive mistakes - is generating positive reviews, but the changes at the NHL level arent collectively having any impact. So far this season, the NHL has produced 17 games going beyond regulation with four of those games decided in overtime. Last season, there were 17 games beyond regulation played over the same stretch, with seven decided in overtime. So as the season rolls on, NHL decision makers (as will we) will continue to monitor the AHLs testing with the dry scrape, long change and 3-on-3 overtime - as heavily scrutinized as its been along the way. World Cup Update The NHL, NHL Players Association and International Ice Hockey Federation met on Wednesday in New York regarding the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. While the meeting was described as productive, its still believed an announcement is at least a month away. Toronto will host the event in September of 2016, but its still unknown as to which countries - or how many - will participate. For now, the World Cup of Hockey will remain in North America and is expected to generate a bidding war between potential future host cities, including those in Europe. On The Marc With The Senators And our daily Marc Methot watch continues in Ottawa. The Senators defenceman remains on the sidelines and hasnt been able to resume skating. His prognosis is expected to be updated early next week. Based on the play of young forward Curtis Lazar, the Senators will have a tough decision to make when Methot is lifted off Injured Reserve. The Senators have 23 players on their active roster, so based on a stalled contract negotiation, trade possibilities involving Methot could kick into high gear when he returns to good health. Until next week...look forward to our next edition of Insider Trading on TSN and TSN.ca on Tuesday. Aaron Ness Jersey .

A panel of mental health experts is now to decide if the double-amputee runner can be held criminally responsible for killing his girlfriend. Judge Thokozile Masipa took just a few minutes to read out her ruling that the Olympian must present himself at 9 a.m. on Monday and every weekday after that at the Weskoppies Psychiatric Hospital in Pretoria. Pistorius will be treated as an outpatient, Masipa ruled, and will be allowed to leave the facility in the South African capital each day at 4 p.m. or when "formally excused" by hospital authorities. The period of evaluation will be for no more than 30 days, the judge said, and will depend on how long the panel of four experts needs to observe Pistorius and compile a report for the court. The panel will consist of three psychiatrists and a clinical psychologist, Masipa said. Pistorius, 27, claims he shot Reeva Steenkamp, 29, by mistake through a toilet stall door in the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 14, 2013, thinking she was an intruder. The prosecution says he murdered her during an argument. A psychiatrist called by Pistorius defence lawyers recently testified she believes the runner had an anxiety disorder from childhood which may have contributed to him killing Steenkamp. That prompted the chief prosecutor to ask the court that he be sent for independent psychiatric tests. Kelly Phelps, a senior lecturer in the public law department at the University of Cape Town and a legal expert observing the trial, said the psychiatric eevaluation could affect both the verdict and, if Pistorius is convicted, the sentencing.dddddddddddd She saw three possible outcomes: -- An "extreme" conclusion in which the panel decides Pistorius was unable to distinguish between right and wrong, or act in accordance with that understanding, because of an anxiety disorder when he killed Steenkamp. Such an outcome, according to Phelps, would result in a verdict of "not guilty by reason of mental illness." -- The panel basically agrees with the defence witness, Dr. Merryll Vorster, who said Pistorius was able to distinguish between right and wrong but had the anxiety disorder, possibly bolstering Pistorius argument that he was acting in "putative self-defence" because he feared his life was in danger from a perceived intruder. -- The panel contradicts Vorster and says Pistorius does not have an anxiety disorder, possibly casting doubt on the defences argument that Pistorius had a long-held fear of crime and felt anxious and vulnerable when he shot Steenkamp. Judge Masipa said Tuesday that the panel should determine whether any mental illness may have affected Pistorius capacity to be "criminally responsible" for killing Steenkamp. She said the panel would evaluate "whether he was capable of appreciating the wrongfulness of his act or of acting in accordance with an appreciation of the wrongfulness of his act." The world-famous disabled athlete faces 25 years to life in prison if found guilty on the premeditated murder charge. He is free on bail. Masipas ruling came on day 33 of proceedings in the trial, which started March 3 and was initially predicted to last three weeks.
