New 3 on 3 Major League Hockey Quebec Getting A Team

[Milhouse40]

That could be a pretty cool thing. Some flashy players not build for the NHL could find their place in there or even older NHLer or AHLer. A guy like Crosby could even end up there playing 2-3 years more in his 40's. Quebec getting a team to start this league, just more fun.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Perfect for KK.

 

[dinodebino]

That’s a lot of dough.

Galchenyuk comeback story starts now

Just as long as Michel Therrien ends up there too, we're sure he's going to make him a better person.

I like 3 on 3 in the OT but an entire game?? Potentially so high scoring that goals become pointless.

It's going to be 2 x 12 minutes period.

Wow, that's a pretty short sporting event, though.

yeah for pros 3 v 3 is too open, 4 v 4 is the sweet spot in my opinion.

There are 3 on 3 leagues/tournaments. I know someone who reffed 6 games in one day.

The Saudis are taking over the sporting world, they have the resources

who wants to watch 3v3 hockey?

NHL overtime is painful/chaotic/wacky enough as it is.

 

[MXD]

That 30M cap for 14 players for 24 minutes per game seems... Rather high.

Might find a niche market, I don't know.

Yeah, not interested.

Don't they poll the people on these sorts of investment? Clearly this would have been a demonstrably bad idea from the start.

Just get a Slamball team in Montreal at least that's somewhat of an inventive twist. Or even better make a bandy stadium and start a league, now that's something I'd watch!

Oh boy. There we go. PIF now eyeing pro hockey in North America. Next will be the big three. They created a mess in golf. Let’s see what they will do to North American pro hockey.

If the NHL widen their rinks by 2 to4 ft. the game as is would improve in my opinion.

 

[the valiant effort]

Caught some 3ice action in a pub last summer. I swear it was like Team LeClair vs Team Larry Murphy or something.

Anyway, trash product. Y’all gotta start quenching your sports thirst with something else. These grifters gotta be stopped

 

[Saundies]

Depends generationally of course, but this is not for me.

- 3 on 3 OT in the NHL is exciting because of the format combined with the sudden death nature of the next goal, not solely on the format.
- I watch the NHL because it has the best players in the world, not the best players in the world who can't play in the NHL.
- There will be 0 hitting in this because a botched hit will surely lead to a goal.
- I'm not a fan of Saudi backed sports ventures for reasons that probably won't belong in this thread.

Is it 30M per team or for the entire league ? Not sure how to read "The league will have a cap of 30M" here. Per team it does seem high for something niche like this, but if the saudis are behind this, not really surprised either.

Yeah, we already have basketball for that
