Three on three is the new thing

First it was overtime going three on three, and now it’s the all star game. Well, not the all star game. It’s going to be a tournament, featuring a series of 3-3 games. This has to be troubling for the Players Union. Is the NHL looking to save costs by moving to a 3 on 3 league? Is that the emphasis on fewer players on the ice? Will that reduce the entire league workforce by 40%? Even if they do expand, just think of how much money the league will save by doing something like this. Whoa. Something to think about.

SCOREBOARD
Winnipeg 4, Vancouver 1 – Hery, Western Canada, isn’t it time to get your ass in gear?

Washington 2, Detroit 1 (OT) – The Caps are all right this year, huh?

Chicago 4, Edmonton 3 (OT) – Several weeks ago in this space, we said that the Edmonton Oilers had flipped the switch, and were turning it around. Barry Melrose Rocks regrets the error.
