Mercy rule?
Can we start looking into a mercy rule for future games? Hear me out here: I think a 5 goal mercy rule should be implemented into this game. I know it would kind of break the immersion but I think in...

This is a decent idea. Allows teams to move on from lopsided games more quickly and still retain the credit/xp/etc they would have gained by sticking to the end.
The only tweak I would make is that after a 5+ goal differential is reached, it would offer the losing team the option to concede the game. In HUT its fairly straight forward. In EASHL it should be put to a vote of the players on the losing team, majority wins the vote.
I disagree with the idea of voting. It only forces people on the winning side to have to sit through a game that is "essentially" a waste of their time while on the losing side, its forcing people to have to physically say "hey we can't beat these guys, so we are gonna have to give up everyone vote yes to giving up" vs a mercy rule of "okay I guess that game is over now it is time for the next one". There is a change in mental when you force the person to have to do it themselves then having the game do it for them.
