GDT: 11/14/15 - Freeway Faceoff! Houston Aeros @ Dallas Stars - 7PM CT / 3AM Suomi - FS-N

[plock]

This team needs to get its **** together with how it plays 3 on 3.

3 on 3 ot is a joke,a cheap gimmick,they might as well decide games with a coin toss,imo.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

They got really lucky. Carolina had like 10 prime scoring chances but couldn't score and Wild scored from a lucky redirection.

Because they were on the power play.

And Suter/Zucker alone had 3 chances.

 

[melinko]

They have the 3on3 fundamentals all wrong.

They are completely wrong, they play it like its 5 on 5. It is absolutely stupid to take any shot that isn't a sure goal.

And we seem content to try and beat guys 1 on 1 along the wall just so we can get a backhand shot on net from the goal line.


I'm serious when I say I think we should just hold on to the puck for 5 minutes behind our own goal.

 

[NHL1674]

What are you talking about?

I second that. Dubs gave them a chance tonight. That was not a weak goal in OT.

Look, you can complain about it all you want, but it's here to stay.

How about we talk about ways the Wild could play 3 on 3 better than just saying "3 on 3 is a joke"?

You got some ideas on how we could do better 3 on 3?

No shot is a sure goal.

Just be smarter. That's pretty much it.

 

[pabst blue ribbon]

just saw the first 3on3 for the wild. why does vanek not play on it? i know he isn't good defensively but on an all offense game situation wouldn't it be be
Better to play your best offensive player?

He isn't a fast skater either so I can see us not having lots of possession in a 3v3

 

[Alexandrov]

Overall satisfied with 1 point, never expect to win OT.

It is indeed a joke

He usually does. Not sure what tonight was.

Thank you! It's like a broken record after every OT loss. If you dont like it, that's perfectly fine. But its here to stay. How about we focus on what this team has to do to be better at it, because they are the ones making it look silly. And again, there weren't many complaints when we won in overtime.

didn't help zucker though. i think it's more about anticipation than speed

 

[57special]

Dumba just isn't trustworthy back there. Brodin has to start contributing offensively, also. I think he's now our fourth best Dman after Suter, Scandella, and Spurgeon.

Folin is improving.

Poms and Granlund.... well... pretty sad.

 

[melinko]

No shot is a sure goal.

Every shot Dallas had was shooter vs goalie 1 on 1 square with the goal. If the goalie stops those you deal with it and consider them lucky to stop it.


We put up shots that would be lucky to go in 5 on 5 let alone 3 on 3.

 

[Avder]

Okay, you think it's a joke. That's fine. But how about some idea about how the Wild should play during the 3 on 3 that gives them a better chance?

 

[Chrisinroch]

Does Audra Martin have a speech impediment? Eye candy, but not good with the talking.

 

[pabst blue ribbon]

I mean we won our OT against the canes. No one whined about 3 on 3 that time.

 

[HollaHaula]

I enjoy 3v3 since it's way more fun to watch than the shootout. The amount of hate it gets from a losing team's fans is ridiculous. It just seems that the Wild aren't really built for wide open hockey, which is fine. We'll be better when the playoffs start then.

Anyways, we got a point and kept the game tight against a high scoring team. I'll take it.

Let's move on to the next one.

Ha. I've thought the same thing. What happened to Jamie Hirsch?

Respectfully disagree.

 

[57special]

3 on 3 leagues are common now. No big mystery. Try and get an odd man rush, and get your changes in when you can...it's tiring. Also, no dump ins! Keep the puck, even if you have to go backwards with it.

Words are h-h-hard.

don't care if we win every single one, it's objectively terrible

if you want tired players + line changes to dictate winners...


shootout isn't ideal, but at least teams had an even chance to win the game

 

[Avder]

Ha. I've thought the same thing. What happened to Jamie Hirsch?

Didn't she get a much better gig on NHL Network?

 

[Killerjug]

Seguin Benn and Klingberg is about as good as it gets for 3 on 3 not surprised at all they scored
