What we learned from the Flames' 3 on 3 OT

Overtime was awesome before, but it's even better now. You take all the heart-pounding terror of sudden death, add a whole lot more open space and suddenly, everything is taken up to a whole new level.

Every single play means something. You miss your chance, and you had better get in your own end immediately, because it's probably coming right back. You make one wrong guess, and you may be conceding the game. There's almost no margin for error.

And the best part? The Flames have just the personnel to be a good three-on-three team.

This isn't the first time they've played 3 on 3

Think back to last year.
