i ****ing hate OT 3 on 3... oh you tried a nice pass? OMG INSTANT RUSH THE OTHER WAY NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO

that's not good

4on4 + shootout is way closer to actual hockey than 3 on 3 and shootout... I've hated it since the very time I've watched it.. and I'm not even some hardcore traditionalist..... it's just crap

I agree. not a fan of it

3 on 3 is better than a shootout. If this virtually eliminates shootouts, I'm ok with it.

3 on 3 is something that can actually happen organically in a hockey game. And it will end MANY more OT's before having to go to the abomination that is the shootout.

And it's just exciting. Big fan.

Well to be fair and honest, a majority of us were expecting us to lose this game. So for us to come out with a loser point? I'll take it.

On to the next one.

Yup I've been sure to turn on every game that goes into OT. So dope.

Kuemper point.


3 on 3 is just combining 4 on 4 overtime with the shootout. No, it's not 5 on 5. It's also not the shootout, which everybody cries pee-tears over.

and not shoot, cuz shooting is too risky if you miss and it's a rush the other way..... it's just dumb and it's not real hockey.........either extend the 4v4 or go straight to shootout... the 3v3 is like a beer league POS thing.... As a fan of the league it's just dirty and doesn't belong...

Also, we play the Ducks next. The Ducks have yet to win a game as well, but the difference is their forwards also have yet to even score any goals.

So naturally we're gonna give up 5. :sarcasm:

What do you guys think of the shot Granlund took in OT where he made the move at the wall but was kinda walled off into shooting at the left half of the net.

Worth taking that shot or is it a better idea to just loop behind the net and keep control?

It's grade A chances and huge saves, gotta love it.

I prefer what there is now to what they've had for the past few years.

I thought it was nice, just wish he would have drove hard to the net. Seemed to move too slowly.

A shootout isn't real hockey. Kane and other players skating down the ice at 1 mph and dipsey doodling is pathetic. At least in 3 on 3, it's a group effort where they actually have to move their damn feet.

I wouldn't change a thing except you have to be better man on man in the defensive zone on that goal.

And there has been a varying amount of strategies throughout the league. That's been incredibly fun to see.

honestly the 3 on 3 puts the NHL at like WNBA status in my mind...... absolutely bush league with no reasoning about the game and no frame of mind to actual hockey... it's really dumb

then put in a chaser

it's not hockey when the vast majority are sitting on the bench for fake little rules.... I HATE ties but ties would better than everyone sitting there watching a 3v3
