A couple weeks into the hockey season, players and coaches—heck, fans watching the games—are still getting accustomed to the new three-on-three overtime format that the NHL has implemented.
Some have liked it so far. Others are less than impressed.
The latter refers to members the Winnipeg Jets, who were reportedly open with their dislike for the new format after suffering a 4-3 OT loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning last week. More specifically Dustin Byfulgien, who called it “terrible.”
“It ain’t hockey. It’s ‘Just let the kids play.’ It’s stupid,” the vocal defenseman reportedly said to the Winnipeg Free Press.
