What's your opinion Pucky after seeing the new rules being enforced last year? Good or bad?

Better, but glad we have 3 on 3 coming soon.

Big fan of 3 on 3 here. What will be the strategy? 1 defenseman and 2 forwards or 3 forwards and no defenseman?

So a shootout is a gimmick, but 3 on 3 isn't.:

: 3 on 3 does happen during regulation in the NHL, Comrade. It's rare but it does happen.

 

[reno cool]

I would guess there are more penalty shots given out than 3 on 3s

 

[Saulty]

Reno get on board with the times. This is not 1979 anymore. 3 on 3 is exciting!

 

[FairWarning]

I agree with Reno.

 

[PuckOff]

I disagree with Reno and FW. I am looking forward to 3 on 3 action.

Reduce the size of goalies. Make them be like jockeys, they can only be so tall, and weigh so much

Like the 3 on 3 lots! Look what it did for the AHL last year .....

The 3-on-3 overtime is designed to create more space on the ice, allowing for more goals to be scored and more games ending in overtime rather than the shootout, similar to the success that the American Hockey League experienced this season.

By adding a 3-on-3 element to its overtime format, the AHL had 75 percent of its games that went past regulation time in 2014-15 decided in overtime. The number was 35.3 percent in 2013-14, when they played under a 4-on-4 overtime format.

I believe the Flyers could possibly win the Cup this year due to this change!
