will be interesting to see how teams line up for OT - go for broke w/ defensive minded C and Ws or put an offensive minded D out there with 2 forwards, or even go for the tie and play 2 Ds ?
@george8kl Yeah, most of the fun will be in first quarter of the season as teams try to figure out what works best.
Incidentally, the composition of the 3-on-3 lineups is one of the reasons why goal scoring rates for 3-on-3 hockey are all over the place. To get to 3-on-3 hockey in the past, teams were already a man down. So there really isn't any reliable indication of how often teams will score with their best three man units out there.
