It works sometimes, if you have the right players for it.
Dougie Hamilton, Brent Burns, Erik Karlsson, etc. These are guys who are kinda like midfielders in soccer that can roam up and down the ice and contribute on offence and defense.
Straight up icing 3 d and 2 forwards for the sake of it is a dumb idea since your two forwards won't be able to generate any offense on their own.
