Absolutely spot on. I hate shoot outs so much I turn off the games lately. I'll watch the new nonsense OT, but it has the feel of a post game skills competition.
The 3 on 3 is pretty exciting but it is too easy for teams to control the puck in 3 on 3. Last night wasn't bad because both teams controlled the puck for awhile and got scoring opportunities but the game where the Leafs beat the Lightning in OT was essentially the Leafs won the OT faceoff and their skilled players just skated around in open space for 2 mins with no opportunity to check them and then they scored. Tampa didn't touch the puck once.
