The Jet's are not playing well at all in overtime hockey, on the 3 on 3 play. I think with the amount of open ice, we need to use our "speed players" that can cover a lot of ice fast. I think 3 on 3 should be an advantage considering we have a lot of very fast players.
I'd like to see guys like Ehlers, Little, Connor, Wheeler, Armia,Myers,Morrissey and Trouba being used a lot. They are all great skaters, and good puck handlers, and all can score.
"Possession" of the puck is really the name of the game in 3 on 3 hockey, and therefore we should not have guys trying to take unnecessary risks, by trying to go around the defense by themselves, and usually we lose "possession."---- "then trouble." Whoever has "possession" has a very good chance of scoring. I'd like to see the Jet's revamp their thinking on this. Joel Armia is a "great possession" type of player- and the Jet's should use him here !!!
My suggestion is to stay away from the "bigger guys" -- like Laine, and Buff etc, as these guys get gassed very quick, and that's why we're losing in these 3 on 3 situations. I'd like to hear some of the other posters ideas for strategies and types of players used here. It's my contention to go with "lighter guys" with a lot of endurance, that can score, and cover a lot of ice - "very fast"-- to gain and keep possession of the puck.
