I think the NHL made a mistake by making the shootout three shooters per side. That’s just me though. I actually prefer ties to shootouts but that’s a very unpopular opinion and I know they’re never bringing them back.
...3-on-3 is Pond Hockey and Shootouts are nothing more than a Skills Competition...go back to 5-on-5 and TIES after 10 minute OT...
Like with Logan Thompson.... I will always hope.

It wouldn’t surprise me if you were old enough to have been watching hockey when they did 10 minute overtime that wasn’t sudden death.

Beg to disagree. Turn that around 180 degrees and we have a deal.

I don't mind ties, but 3-on-3 seems to put a disincentive on shooting. I'd rather just go with a shootout after regulation, as only an idiot would punt the puck back to their own zone in a shootout.

No deal. 4-on4 OT was ok, if we're doing that. 3-on-3 just encourages no risk hockey.
Howden out of the box, so Tampa will be on the PP again soon.
You’d have to be pretty stupid to punt the puck back into your own zone in a shootout, considering that when the puck ceases its forward momentum after being first touched, the play is considered to have been completed (with a few rare exceptions).

That was kind of my whole point, there
We should go back to sticks that are carved out of a single piece of hornbeam.

Did you watch hockey when Bobby Orr just had a brush cut and no flow? Black and white TV or radio? Reg season Games were only tied back then.It wouldn’t surprise me if you were old enough to have been watching hockey when they did 10 minute overtime that wasn’t sudden death.

I'm old but was born in the late 70s, so no
I started watching hockey during the 2001-02 season. I don’t remember whether it was before or after the turn of the new year. I’m only 38.

I started following the league in 86 but i like 3v3 because it's great to see the elite players showcase their skills with the extra space..........It just has to be regulated a bit (maybe an over and back rule)..........

My skates are older…omgI started watching hockey during the 2001-02 season. I don’t remember whether it was before or after the turn of the new year. I’m only 38.
...wooden sticks, yes...Hell, I STILL don't understand why Goalies don't still use wooden sticks...
...not that my rant has anything to do with BOTH my grandkids playing goal now and me promising to pay for it...
Here me out.... the ability to score an own goal in the shootout
