Pre-Game Talk: Senators VS Sabres (...and the lehner) Sept.23 TSN5 7pm

[Super Cake]

I feel like this 3 on 3 won't last long.

With O'Reilly and Kane on the ice.

 

[Back in Black]

Time for some 3 on 3 again!!!!!

 

[SensBrawler]

So if Buffalo scores, do we lose?

Apparently Gary wants teams to play the full 5.

Otherwise this is pointless as a practice exercise.

 

[Pronto]

Rough night for ROR in the dot (8w 18l) ouch!

 

[OmniSens]

We win and we play again? Alright!!

 

[Back in Black]

Ya, that was a long one!!!!!

 

[saskriders]

Wideman!!!!

 

[SensBrawler]

Two wins in one game.

Good call, Pageau, Lazar, and Wideman were too much to handle

Glad i was wrong.

If both these Senators 3 on 3 OT games have been any indication, it is a worse gimmick than a shootout.

Makes sense for TV if it is going to get games done quickly though.

[Vesa Awesaka]

No Dzingel? He deserves a star lol

 

[OmniSens]

2 wins.

 

[Super Cake]

I wish they played the full 5 minutes. These 3 on 3 overtime have so far ended really quickly.

So prophetic. Would love to give comments gold status

Why's that? Passes and defence > breakaway contest

I was at the home game vs the leafs and I didn't realize how much ice was available until I saw it in person. There is a crazy amount of room on the ice with 3v3...mind blowing amount of space.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Calling it right now Wideman gonna get 30 assists.

 

[freddy61]

Did Lazar tip the OT goal?

 

[Six Assets]

2 wins.

2 wins?

I'm sorry but Jared Cowen needs to play because.

Agreed. I don't like it. 4 on 4 had a bit of structure and was still exciting. 3 on 3 is shinny and has the entertainment value of an all star game.

What the NHL needs to do is prevent so many games from going to OT in the first place. It's ridiculous that over a quarter of the games aren't decided in regulation.

I'm genuinely curious to see how long it takes before some sort of 3 on 3 trap system is invented.
