Once you cross the redline with the puck on 3v3 overtime, you get a 2min penalty if you either skate or pass the puck backwards over the redline towards your own end, who says no?
Sounds even better, eliminates the "cant pass backwards at all" argument too. Treat it like a intentional offside.Yes I think it would make ot's more entertaining. But not a penalty, maybe defensive Zone faceoff with same players having to stay on the ice, like it's icing?
3 on 3 is the problem as it's not realistic hockey and personally I hate it but a lot of goals and excitement happens so my guess is the NHL isn't catering to my wants any time soon.Then someone could theoretically get penalized if they try to pass to the point and the point man just misses or whifs?
I'd say no. It doesn't improve the game in any way that I can see IMO

Go back to 4v4, and then have them play out the 5 minutes. If someone scores, drop the puck at centre ice. Play until the clock hits zero.3 on 3 is the problem as it's not realistic hockey and personally I hate it but a lot of goals and excitement happens so my guess is the NHL isn't catering to my wants any time soon.
That being said the OP has a really good point this purposefully skating out of the offensive zone just plain sucks.
Do the points in 3-2-1 and you achieve this with including the overtime, 3v3 or not.why make all these rules and changes to 3 on 3 when you can just get rid of OT all together.
People forgot how exciting the last few minutes of a hockey game was.
Sure ties are frustrating but they kept win-less or lossl-ess streaks going.
Players will learn how to be clutch in the last few minutes in the 3rd instead of just waiting for overtime.
the last few minutes in a close game was equivalent to a playoff game but that compete has gone way down since they introduced 4on4 shootout and 3on3
The best part of Hockey was how hard teams compete for a win.
it was all the work you do to get that goal.
