Yep. It won't be long before the NHL has to make it a rule that players cannot carry or pass the puck back across the red-line (from offensive zone to defensive zone). McDavid did this multiple times in the 3v3 last night; got the puck inside our blue-line, didn't like what he saw or was pressured, so he skated it back to his own blue-line for a "re-group" and a little more keep-away.
I thought the momentum in that 3v3 was really poor, relative to what we've seen in other OTs.
