No. 2 — The new overtime format is going to be great.
The overtime rule change was a topic of great debate this offseason. Instead of playing 4-on-4 hockey followed by a shootout if the game ends in a tie, teams will play 3-on-3 this year followed by a shootout. Last night gave fans their first glance at how exciting that is going to be.
Just wait until the season starts and Roy rolls out Matt Duchene, Nathan MacKinnon and Tyson Barrie as his first OT line. Talk about speed!
