The Weasel Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Sedins plus someone else will definitely have to be up there if they get possession. They are just insanely smart and will feast with that much open ice and tire the other team out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Crosby-Malkin-Kessel/Letang will be lethal I could really see H. Sedin - Virtanen - Edler working. Henrik has that elite playmaking ability, Jake has the size, speed along with a shot. Stamkos - Kucherov/Palat - Hedman Ovi - Backstrom - Carlson I could also see Horvat - Virtanen - Hamhuis giving teams fits too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 The Sedins will struggle 3-on-3, no one to finish those plays. I think we should throw out the Sedins and Vbrata and go for gold, Daniel with the point man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumerman77 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Canucks are probably one of the slowest teams in the West so apart from the Sedins puck possession game I don't think 3 on 3 will benefit us. As far as speed is concerned, I think Colorado with Duchene, MacKinnon and Barrie is the fastest 3 man combination in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck73_3 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Philly, Pittsburgh and Tampa should be unreal 3 on 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I'll say this 3on3 SUCKS as does the shoot out!!! Make the rinks a foot wider and 4 feet longer and let the goalies play the puck you will see more goals and won't need the BS 3on3 or shoot out!

Heretic Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 According to Sportsnet.... TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING Tampa Bay is an easy choice. On the back end, Ben Bishop is one of the best puck-moving goalies in the league and defencemen Victor Hedman and Anton Stralman bring mobility and quick, intelligent passes. Steven Stamkosis one of the best finishers in hockey and the Triplets line seems incredibly well-suited to wide-open hockey. WASHINGTON CAPITALS, PITTSBURGH PENGUINS Washington and Pittsburgh are both compelling candidates as well, even when we get past the superstars at the top end of each roster. Marc-Andre Fleury has his faults, but he’s brilliant in the shootout and also an excellent puck-mover who should adapt well to three-on-three; ditto for Braden Holtbywho is perhaps even a bit better with the puck. It’s hard not to get excited about the idea of a Sidney Crosby, Phil Kessel and Kris Letang trio; it’s also fun to imagine Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and John Carlson making use of all that open ice. DALLAS STARS Out west, the Dallas Stars should do well. The team’s defence is a little suspect, but John Klingberg marries a strong offensive skillset to exceptional mobility and should be a natural. The forward duo of Tyler Seguinand Jamie Benn is the kind any team would happily send out in this situation, and if Kari Lehtonen wins the starting job puck-moving from the net should be an asset, too. MONTREAL CANADIENS Among Canadian teams, the Canadiens stand out. A lot of that is due to Carey Price, who is not only the best goalie in hockey, but also arguably the game’s most masterful puckmover. P.K. Subban and to a lesser extent Jeff Petry are built to play this style of hockey, and the Habs’ generally small and speedy forward corps also seems like a good fit for the format. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/five-nhl-teams-best-suited-for-3-on-3-overtime/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnsey Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Oilers could be one to look out for. And it's not because of McDavid. Hall and Eberle with open space should be able to do some damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senpai Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Honestly, the canucks should be good at this. No two players in the NHL have played longer together or have more chemistry than the Sedins. Pair them with Edler on open ice with no one else to get in their way and it should be alot of fun to watch. Sedins are terrible 3 on 3 because they are slow. 3 on 3 is very dependent on speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baka Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Giroux / Voracek Any Frickin body The 3rd would probably be Mark Streit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't agree more. I just don't see that being good for the he Canucks. They will probably get a better result from some of the younger players like Horvat and co. All depends on who makes the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
