scpa0305 Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 The 3x3 prior to a shootout is a great idea. Should be fun to watch. Quote
Snake Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 So OT will be 4 on 4, then a session with 3 on 3, and if necessary a shootout. Why not just have a hardest shot competition?Actually I believe the first 5 minutes of OT will be NCAA standard 5x5, not 4x4. Quote
Snake Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 The NCHC is basically replacing the first two shooters of the shootout with a 3x3 OT session. The shootout portion then becomes "sudden death," and can end after the first shooters. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Let the captains go out back for an honest-to-god pissing contest. Let's be men here. Captains. Center ice. Three two-minute rounds. Ten point must system. Why not? Makes as much sense as the other options. Quote
ericpnelson Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Captains. Center ice. Three two-minute rounds. Ten point must system. Why not? Makes as much sense as the other options. Business ethics... Quote
The Sicatoka Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Business ethics...The Cs and As and goalie from both sides like up on respective blue lines and ..."Let's play 'The Family Feud'!" 1 Quote
scpa0305 Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 http://thehockeywriters.com/chicago-blackhawks-top-10-prospects-5-through-1/?ref=yfpThis is the worst assessment of Nick Schmaltz I have ever read. Literally, the worst. The writer is positive when writing about Schmaltz but his assessment of the type of player he is could not be further from accurate. Quote

Literally, the worst. The writer is positive when writing about Schmaltz but his assessment of the type of player he is could not be further from accurate.Goal scoring center? He needs to start shooting the puck if that's the case. I don't disagree with much of what he said. Nick is a very smart hockey player, that when paired with linemates that see the ice as he does, could be absolutely lethal. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Goal scoring center? You have to shoot to score. How many "shots" did he take by passing to his brother last season? Quote

I don't think they're even close. Nick is a pass first guy. Quote

AZSIOUX Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Did everyone make it on campus? Is the roster complete or any possible walk ons? Quote
AZSIOUX Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Tomek has to be one of the youngest goalies in the NCAA maybe youngest. I can try and figure it out unless anyone knows? Seems goalies are usually older when making it to campus around the country. Quote

Seems goalies are usually older when making it to campus around the country. I'm not sure age makes a difference with goalies. Nothing makes sense with goalies. They're aliens with alien minds and souls. I'm not sure they are even born like the rest of us. Take Wilbur, for instance . . . Quote

tnt Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Not me. Seems like a sideshow.But at least it's not a free throw shooting contest to determine an outcome. It's certainly not perfect, but better than they have now, and it is the way the NHL is heading. 1 Quote

It's certainly not perfect, but better than they have now, and it is the way the NHL is heading. Playing 3 on 3 is just a half step above the free throw shooting contest IMO. Would rather they just played 5x5 with 10 minute OT, if it ends in a tie then so be it. 3 Quote

I think it will be interesting to see what UND would do with the 3 on 3. Would they go with Nick Schmaltz and Drake Caggiula with a defenseman, or Schmaltz with Stecher and Thompson. Think I would go with 2 defensemen since they have great offensive ability though. Whatever they do, it is going to be some fast paced back and forth action. Hopefully with the skill we have now, it won't be quite so back and forth. Edited August 27, 2015 by tnt Quote

Hopefully with the skill we have now, it won't be quite so back and forth. We are fortunate that one of our best defensemen played forward nearly all of last year. Makes it easy to roll him out with another offensive Dman and a forward and not lose a step. Quote
