Good morning, Hawks fans.
Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving and are ready for Blackhawks hockey today.
Last week, hockey insider Frank Seravalli shared the news that during the annual GM meetings, rule changes to the NHL's overtime rule are being considered. The league feels the spirit of the 3-on-3 has changed and that constantly circling back is taking all of the action out of the extra frame.
But how do Chicago Blackhawks players feel about the proposed changes?
I spoke with Jason Dickinson, Taylor Raddysh together, then Philipp Kurashev separately. Let's find out what they had to say in this week's Blackhawks Beat.
#NHL’s Colin Campbell says GMs discussed the idea of changing rule to limit teams from continually looping back and regrouping in 3-on-3 OT.
Potential solutions: Once you cross red or blue line, can’t go back out again. Or a shot clock.
