3 On 3 Overtime

It's all about game length. What players don't get is that a 10 minute OT isn't any longer than 5 minutes + a shootout. I like the 10 minute mixed OT idea. It showed in the AHL to drastically reduces shootouts. Still, I prefer this new rule to how it was.

But a longer OT (7 or 10mins) + shootout is obviously longer than 5mins + shootout. Thus they wanted the guaranteed shortest option.

FYI the AHL OT is 7mins. Thats why I put 7 or 10mins.

As a traditionalist I demand the return of the 6-on-6

And no forward passes, please! It's killing the game!

It'll be interesting to see how long coaches try to leave stars out there. I could see superstars playing some super long OT shifts

One guy I think that will benefit massively from this is Tyler Ennis.

Gives him the space he needs to use his speed and hands to make great plays. Him, Eichel and Ristolainen (Kane and Bogo out there often too) could rack up some nice OT winners.
