[Habsfan18]

Posted in out of town thread but figured it deserves its own thread.

Just confirmed on twitter.

Subban, Galchenyuk and Pacioretty should excel in those situations!

Pacioretty - Desharnais - Weise

You know it's going to happen.

No defensemen, right.

This is what the NHL is turning into.

This is what the NHL is turning into.

If it helps eliminate the shootout by more games ending in OT, I'm all for it.

 

[Dominator13]

Crap, I can't post the image with my phone. Stupid URL tags. My post looks stupid without it

 

[cphabs]

This is getting stupid.

I like it.

Goalies must be mad.

Ton of open ice...should almost eliminate the SO.............we wont need DD or PAP...

 

[The Nightman]

I wanted 3 on 3 but only after 4 on 4.

Desharnais-Parenteau-DSP

This will be a lot more interesting then 4-on-4.

Plekanec - Subban - Markov
Mitchell - Petry - Emelin
Pacioretty - Subban - Markov
Gallagher - Petry - Emelin

Emelin in 3 on 3 would be horrible. Beaulieu would have to be used instead for his mobility.

Stupid, 3 on 3 then shootout? I mean, too much of a gimmick IMO.

 

[DAChampion]

This is really going to boost Desharnais' point totals next year.

 

[Winter Eclipse]

This is really going to boost Desharnais' point totals next year.

Agreed. I can see him easily hitting 50 points now!

 

[The Great Weal]

What happens when Emelin takes a penalty because you know that will happen. will it be 3 on 2?

 

[Natey]

This is really going to boost Desharnais' point totals next year.

Good! If his point totals go up, how is that a bad thing?

 

[habsfanatics*]

I think they should put like trap doors in the ice that open randomly all over the place in order to create more odd man rushes and end games in regulation.

Who wouldn't watch this, a 3 on 3 turns into a 3 on 0 with a couple well-placed traps. Exciting times.

When Davey gets a point, it's depressing time on these boards, didn't you know?

 

[WeThreeKings]

Just straight to 3-on-3?

That's lame.

Just straight to 3-on-3?

That's lame.

My thoughts exactly. I wouldn't mind it if it was after 4 on 4 but going right to 3 on 3 is more of a gimmick than the shoutout.
