If games were 3 on 3 for 60 minutes, who wins the Presidents' Trophy

[ncm7772]

Pittsburgh, with Edmonton in a close 2nd.

The topic clearly says 3on3 for 60 minutes a game, not 5. I doubt LAK stays at the top when guys like Nolan get their minutes in

If you have 3-on-3 for the whole game, you'd probably only have 12 skaters on your bench in order to skate four lines. Maybe 13? It would effectively kill what is now the fourth line and third pairing D.

Kings are possession demons 3on3 he who controls the puck usually wins

How many minutes per overtime are the Kings bottom 6 getting? Did Clifford or Nolan even touch the ice during your last overtime?

Record speaks for itself they control the puck they dominate 3 on 3. Kings are very much a system teams they would control the puck against the other teams 4th line. Posses it and eat clock. Kings would play for a 2-1 game . It's who they are

exactly so the better thing to do is to draw some 3on3 lines with your team's 12 best players and 2 goalies

Price Montoya

Galchenyuk Radulov Weber
Pacioretty Gallagher Petry
Plekanec Byron Markov
Shaw Lehkonen Beaulieu

lots of speed and some great possesion players but not the best for sure

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Only talked about this season. Is it me or LA has a lot of PP opportunities in OT in general?

If by 'a lot' you mean 'two' then yes. And they got those through--surprise, surprise--the pressure of possession at the end of the game into OT.

Quick--who is surprisingly good at making 3v3 possession decisions!

we've been rolling
Carter-Kopitar-Doughty
Pearson-Toffoli-Martinez

so to put Gaborik back in the mix and fill out our 3v3 roster

Gaborik-Dowd-Muzzin
Brown-Lewis-....Forbort?

I think a better question than the OP would be:

''If games were 3 on 3 for 60 minutes, who still watches the NHL?''

 

[Riddum]

3 on 3 is a joke.

 

[sjsharks92]

Just off the top of my head teams I think would do well:

Pens, Caps, Oilers, Lightning, Blackhawks

 

[Forgot About Drai]

Mcdavid would be unstoppable. But I'd still say Pens. Oiler close 2nd.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Ottawa. Karlsson controls the game in overtime like no other in the league.

Whenever I see Ottawa has gone to overtime, I switch over to watch him do his thing.

It is something special to watch.

LA is the clear favourite here.

That includes shootout losses so most of that is irrelevant. LA is still the best in OT though but some of those numbers incredibly misleading.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

3 on 3 is a joke.

shootouts are the bigger joke.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Whatever team has Johnny Gaudreau.

 

[AustonsNostrils]

One thing I know is that Dan Bylsma would never again be employed by an NHL team.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

McDavid and friends

Flames go from drafting 6th in 2016 to being in the 4th best team. lol (hypothetically using a smallllll sample size)

 

[LePalle]

Flyers would definitely be up there. We thrive 3 on 3, especially Giroux-Voracek-Gostisbehere but I think we could roll 4 lines and at least break even on the other 3.

I'd say

Kings
Flyers
Sharks
Penguins
Blackhawks
Flames

in no particular order.

He's currently coaching the Sabres, not his fault the lineup is terrible and Eichel isn't living up to the hype.

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

I'd likely boycott the NHL if they did this.

But ... I'll go with the pens. Murray in nets, big speed and scoring up front.

Cause .. why not?

 

[Dishface]

I think the pens and the Hurricanes will never make the playoffs again, not that they will anyway

 

[Ainec]

haven't been impressed with him in OT tbh

and before that when he was coaching in Pittsburgh?
