We do 3v3 OT wrong

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Keefe realized that other teams were literally playing to OT on us to expose a weakness in sloppy high risk 3v3 play; wait for our stars to give the puck away on high risk play (if posession isn't available off the draw), then tire them out with posession and cycling, then create a legit scoring chance, and often score. Keefe's response to this was to begin starting Kampf and 2x D for the last 2 OTs - ridiculous as it is, it worked. And hopefully it also sent a message that our stars cannot continually play like the globetrotters in 3v3OT.
Shame it took him so long to figure that out, it seemed pretty obvious.

Also last night our star players were more asserted going north-south with the puck to get chances. They weren't trying to do too much east-west passing, slowing the play down, to try and find that perfect play for a goal.

That assertiveness won them the game
