MajorPenalty Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 With 3 on 3 overtimes seemingly adopted by the GM's, which three Canucks would you have out for the majority of the three on three? Edler, Vrbata and Horvat would be mine. A big shot, a sniper and a center who can play defensively and win important face offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MajorPenalty Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Sedin-Sedin-Edler Bonino-Vrbata-Hamhuis My only worry with the Sedins is if they give up the puck against fast opponents, it will then be a 3 on 1 the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kragar Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I like that, but I would def pick Sedin, Sedin and Edler. Full on possession offense...FINISH HIM! Agreed. Even more space for the Sedins, and Edler works well with them. I wonder how well Hansen or Matthias (not saying they should be on together) would do out on 3-3, given their speed. Having the big shot out there is nice. At first I thought it wouldn't matter that much, given less opportunity to set up the screen, but with the extra room the shooter can get in that much closer, so a screaming shot from the near the top of the circles is a big nice-to-have too.

That crossed my mind too, but it doesn't seem to hurt them in OT now, so I'd still go with them first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CroSen Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Bonino is good at scoring game winning goals. I would have him out there. However Sedin-Sedin-Vrbata would be fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfstonker Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I think Burr, Hank and Edler / Horvat, Burr and Edler. / Vbrata Burr and Edler By the time it gets to 3 on 3 I think the Twins will be a bit winded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Karlsson Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Only problem is if the twins turn the puck over 3 on 3 they're done. They're so slow. Sedin-Sedin-Edler Matthias-Vrbata-Edler Horvat-Kassian-Edler Horvat-Kenins-Edler I think they'd be fun to watch, they got some slick chemistry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter.S-Kerouac Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 The Burrdiens! But seriously I think you have to go with your best faceoff guy (Horvat) and then go for your most offensively gifted defensively responsible duo.

JamesB Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 this. you NEED speedy players out there otherwise you're going to constantly give up odd man rushes. With 3 on 3 play possession is big and possession plus speed pretty much guarantees a good scoring chance. And possession means face-offs. Also, screened shots and deflected shots are less important. Beating the goalie with a good shot and/or setting up a precision passing play are important. Edler is an obvious choice. He is good skater, has an excellent shot and provides good defence in his own zone. With 3-on-3 making a breakout pass is much easier so Tanev's main advantage disappears. As for the forwards, the Sedins seem obvious, but Henrik is not good enough in the circle and they are not fast enough. Fast opposing forwards will pull away from them too easily in 3 on 3 play. And neither one is a real sniper. I am going with Horvat (assuming he continues to improve into next year) and Vrbata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Sbisa and Tanev are underrated guys for me, just because of their skating ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
