GDT #27: 2023/12/14 - Laine Revenge Game

Then you want to lose 3v3 way more often than you want to win them. Tavares can't keep up, and Rielly can't defend odd man situations.
Yes, I want to lose with them than try to win with Domi/Brodie/McCabe, because we've lost with them the last two tries.
 
3v3 is random. The Leafs had so many better chances than what Columbus scored on.

Hell of a game though. The end of the third was the loudest over heard the acc in a long time and it was maybe half full at that point.

Though Matthews was awesome all game. Reaves too. His best game of the year.
 
Universe causing the best roster to take shape, Tre and Keefe be damned.

Maybe nothing will stand in our way this year. Of all years, when we look so damn poopy.
 
Who's laughing at my Sammy for Vladar package deal now?

Sammy, Brodie, Holmberg and a 3rd for Tanev, Lindholm, pospisal and Vladar

Although I heard lebrun today said today thst Tanev seems to get hurt a bit because despite his size and weight, he plays like a lighter player. I did not like the sounds of that

He went undrafted (despite his hockey skills) because he was pretty short & skinny. Then around 18 (after the draft), he had a big growth spurt & gained a bunch of weight. Think his "play style" might be just a carry over from his 'smallish' days. He was hurt a fair bit in Vancouver as well so its not just because he's north of 30 years old now.
 
Exactly. There's no real strategy. Just play the best players.

I wouldn't say there is no strategy. But its just the first one to score, and both teams will 100% get chances so the results are not actually indicative of anything. But anything you can do to get more/give up less the better.
 
3 on 3 only seems random because of the lower sample compared to 5 on 5; so in a 5 minute period anyone can score first yeah. Theoretically it should be less random over a longer term timeframe though. The teams will high end skill absolutely have an obscene advantage the more space they have.

I think the format lends itself even more to speed than skill. Which is why willy and even domi are good 3 on 3, Matthews and Marner (both good skaters but they like to slow the game down with the puck) just ok JT DOODOO

Which does make it a bit random even over bigger samples
