Trying to go 1 on 3 every opportunity does seem like it would be exhausting...

But yea this has always been the sticking point as far as I know. The PA doesn't want games to be longer. Believe this has been the case since before 3 on 3, when the idea was being floated of doing 5 minutes of 4 on 4, and then 5 minutes of 3 on 3. PA didn't want the extra 5 minutes so they just skipped straight to 3 on 3.

Didn't the echl do 7 or 8 minutes? I'm good if that's the compromise.

Kinda funny he says he's gassed considering he averages 3 minutes more per game with the avs than he did tonight.

Maybe this is his indirect way of tell Bednar to give him a break once in awhile lol

 

[vancityluongo]

maybe if he tried to pass a puck instead of solo drives every shift he wouldn't have been so gassed lol

Can’t wait for all the butthurt Mcdavid fans to chime in!

The extended time was fun from a fans perspective though!

Bro is a puck hog. Use your teammates more and pace yourself better.

Sounds like a time management issue.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Man who skates full tilt at 3 defenders at any chance he gets (and usually turns the puck over and has to hustle back on D) is exhausted at end of game.

Shocking.

Just allow games to end in a tie dammit.

ECHL is currently doing 10 minute 3-on-3 OT.

ECHL is currently doing 10 minute 3-on-3 OT.

Mackinnon could only dream of having that ECHL-level cardio

 

[Pestilence]

Last time I checked both teams have four lines on the bench, so with my best professional expertise I would recommend that the teams rotate the players on ice if they are gassed.

 

[FinPanda]

I thought he was joking when he said that lol

 

[Dessloch]

Since they benched Crosby for 5 minutes straight in OT I would assume other players would be less tired if he had gotten some ice time , I dont the rules stipulate that #97 and #29 has to play every second shift in OT

 

[Mulletman]

Maybe MacKinnon should train some cardio instead of complaining...
