I disagree, as most clubs play this sort of possession style in OT. It works, and clearly the Habs have figured it out, thankfully. Personally I think this style goes against what the NHL was looking for when they created this 3x3 OT format. Clubs adjusted, now the NHL should adjust as well. Make it a penalty (minor) to willfully leave the offensive zone with the puck. Make them play, not skate around just holding onto the puck.

For real?

Enough with the idiotic gimmicks...

What a dumb comment. I mean I read stupid things on here all day, but Bravo, this is a new level of asinine

Do you want them to remove the goalie and turn the nets backwards so that you have to deflect the puck off the boards and in, too?

Or at least a major penalty

That's diffrent.

It's what the NHL wants.

Ducharme decided to give the team a boring structure in OT that has showed results as of late.

FIRE HIM!

like do i really need to see Jesperi Kotkaniemi miss the net by 30 feet and have the puck rim around the boards for a 3-on-1 the other way?

i don't understand why they won't open some restricted patio dining here in Quebec at this point. or at least announce a date. we're pretty stable an vaccinations are taking off.

Are the restaurants closed??

Beats him waiting 3 seconds to long to finally shoot

they're open for takeout only. in-person dining has been closed since the beginning of October. restos/bars in Quebec have been battered worse than anywhere in North America.

take it a step further. goalie has to throw his stick away for the last 90 seconds of OT.

Wilson fined 5K

5 K fine for Wilson ridiculous

Apparently they are looking at it. Not sure penalty is a good idea though maybe just a change of possession like bball...

I think the league actually wants to be controversial, consistency and logic are too boring.

Man that's (frank)ed up.

These politicians don't know poop from dirty pudding.

People are getting tired of this..
