[PuckOff]

NHL's guinea pig, the AHL, will do a test run and adopt 3 on 3 in OT.

FINALLY!!!

Good move. 5 minutes of 4-on-4 is too short, 3-on-3 makes more sense.

I wonder what Tron thinks.

OK new to hockey. When they do that what's the ratio of defenders to forwards?

 

[PuckOff]

Whoever the coach decides to put on the ice. Only 1 goalie though.

So they can go with all 3 forwards I suppose. This is good!

This sounds like a good time, very Nintendoish. Bring this shit on. See now this is a thread many (tron and others) should watch and learn.

Ice Hockey was 4-on-4.

I liked using two skinny guys to bring the puck to the net, and two fat guys in the back to take slap shots from the point.

While I am still not a fan of the shootout, I like this 3 on 3. I can see way more games NOT ending in a shootout. I see a lot of breakout passes with 3 on 3.

Solid strategy. There was one version of something on the Supernintendo I think where you'd choose how many players on each Was it Superhocker '94? I'd play Lindros vs the 5 best from the Avalanche, no goalies and beat my buddy once in awhile. I'd laugh and it'd piss him off.Good times, I'm glad these kinds of things are hitting the mainstream.
