Our only, and final hope...
Which means he's going to play because "tie/loss goes to the vet"... :/
This will always be my favorite, we looked so young here. Where has the time gone

Is that a boy band? What even are these pictures?
Also I feel that Ducks-GAF has grown to the point where we need our own class photo as well.

3 on 3 has potential to be gloriously chaotic.
Do you roll 3 forwards? One forward/ two Dmen? Two forwards/ 1 D? 3 defensemen for ultimate mind fuck?

Lol I know, I'm just flabbergasted that the original unaltered pictures exist in the first place.

3 on 3 could be amazing. I'm also interested in how that ejection works, two fights per person or in a game? Gotta be the latter I'd think.
Coach's challenge and a bigger trapezoid
No one posted the Dubinsky extension?
Barely more than Bolland's contract :lolLeBrun said:
Roy to pull the goalie for 4 on 3 advantage every time.

Boy oh boy these next few months are O'Reilly trade watch 2014. At least it'll be exciting? :|

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
That 3-on-3 is moron Holland's idea and has the potential for disaster. Most teams will put two defensemen and one forward out and it will be incredibly boring.

Does hockey really need even more gimmicks? What is this even in response to? Is there some market research showing that people aren't tuning in because the game doesn't have enough middle school level seat-of-your-pants rule changes mid-game?

Well at least for OT there are people complaining about the shootout.
Point of 3 on 3 is to deter teams from playing it safe during OT and just trying to push for shootouts which is a shitty way to decide a game. 3 on 3 would end most games in OT and you can't really sit back with 3 on 3.

I was going to say "the shootout is bad enough" in my post, lol. I would rather that they get rid of the shootout altogether if that is the reasoning.
It just seems clumsy, but I guess we will see how it works.

I'm going to disagree with you there, remember that 3 on 3 during the home winning streak against the Ducks? Yeah, that was awesome and was edge of your seat hockey. Holland still sucks, but I love the idea of 3 on 3.

Here's how you get teams to stop sitting back in OT: drop the loser point, drop the shootout.
I figured it out guys, someone hire me.

The only reason I like the loser point is because it keeps everything so close come the playoff push. That's really the only advantage it has.

Nah, you can't drop things... all you can do is continue to hapazardly add things on, like an ADD kid's treehouse.

If I had 40 million dollars, I still don't think I'd be able to afford one year of season tickets for the Leafs.
You'd be better off buying the Coyotes and getting box seats to every game.

Not sure why I laughed at this but I did.
It's easier for teams to be defensive and it requires less skill for a player to defend a player with a higher offensive skill ceiling. That mixed in with the systems today and the goalies and their coaches who have this down to a science are making it harder to score.
I'm of the opinion that we should reduce equipment size, but the players are bigger now too. And it does help when you have dirty fucks that run goalies...
Nobody seems to want bigger nets...
3 on 3 is much better but I also am not a fan of the shit out.

A broken clock is right twice a day. 3 on 3 sounds way, way better than the shootout.

And trust me, that is one broken and messed up clock.

doesn't matter, you'd be such a horrible, despicable, selfish piece of shit person for taking that 40 million that they wouldn't allow you in the building anyway.

I hope we miss the playoffs this year, I hope that is what it takes to finally get some real change going for this team.

I don't mind if people chose the other option because hey, whatever its your life.
But then when the preaching started and telling me that I was worse than Hitler, man I did some hard eyerolls.

Why even ask the question if you're going to go HAM on anybody who chooses "wrong?"
Yeah, I was assuming they were keeping the shootout since getting rid of it was never mentioned. Would be a good move in that case.
