I remember watching this 3 on 3 live, it was pretty entertaining especially with Doughty's speed and skill.

not surprising since it was done in the AHL, I hate the SO, so I'd rather 3 on 3 to settle more games then the SO.
Unfortunately it's 3 on 3 then shootout. It's not like the AHL model so we may be stuck with a scenario that's way too all star game every single time.

guess I should have red it first, they should have just followed the AHL model.
According to Dregger on TSN690 this morning before the decision was taken, the league wanted a 4v4 then 3v3 for total of 7 minutes while the PA wanted just 5 minutes of 3v3. Lazy bums.

Exciting for sure but like some other said, I would have prefered 4 on 4 and then 3 on 3.
Fast and skill players will have fun and slow player will get destroyed. Will be fun. Better than shootout.

So we can presume they want go to 3 on 3 to increase scoring in OT in order to have less games decided by shootout. Perhaps thinking along the lines of "how do we get more games to end in regulation?" would have been a better prerogative than this one.
I've always felt the 1 point each system after 60 mins allows a lot of teams play it safe in regulation, which then leads to some pretty boring hockey, and also probably leads to more games getting to OT in the first place.

If they wanted more games to end in regulation they should've adopted a 3 point system.
Win in regulation=3 points
Win in OT=2 points
Lose in OT=1 points
Lose in regulation=0 points

Can someone explain how 3 on 3 is any less of a gimmick than shootouts?
3 on 3 occurs much more rarely than a breakaway. At least the shootout has been a part of international hockey for year.
3 on 3 is ridiculous.

Without deviation progress is not possible
I like the 3 point system also. Way more incentive to not go to overtime. I'd even consider 3-2-0-0.

Childish, just call it Overtime Scrimage. Every year the league tries to look dumber, and every year they somehow succeed. Fixed the icing you idiots.
