Big Buff isn't a fan of 3 vs 3 OT.

According to Tim Campbell of the Winnipeg Free Press, defenseman Dustin Byfuglien is not in favour of the NHL's decision to switch to 3 vs 3 overtime.

"It's terrible. It's a terrible part of hockey. It's not hockey. It ain't hockey. It’s 'just let the kids play.' It's stupid. Just keep it 4-on-4, 5-on-5. Let's just play hockey."

Byfuglien's comments come after a hard loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, where the game was decided in overtime.

Big Buff's teammate, Bryan Little, took more precautions when he talked about the new format.

"It's just trying to get used to it at this level and trying to play it .... (But) I'd rather see it settled in 5-on-5 like a normal game but you can't be playing an extra 5-on-5 for 10 or 20 minutes. You've got to cap it some time. It's a tough way to lose but the shootout is an even worse way to lose. I'm not a fan of it today but maybe when we get a couple of wins I'll like it a little more."
