nothing but bitch about it after winning their last two games by 3 X 3.
Well they didn't win their Semifinal in OT, they won in the last minute. So it wasn't 3X3.
To the OP, yea it's fun, but it's not a good way to decide things IMO. Maybe have a 10 minute or 5 minute OT period with a shootout after if still tied or tied again.
You can't play a 4 OT game to decide this maybe but you can do things to make it as fair as possible

You, me, and the players all see the Olympics as a legitimate championship, but I'm sure the NHL sees it as an exhibition where their assets are at risk.
I think the NHL sees is as a very legitimate cchampionship and knows that this year's olympics will certainly help grow the game.
That said, these guys are paid millions to win the stanley cup, not a gold medal.

So then why did we have to go 12 years without the NHL players?
That was the best hockey game I’ve ever watched. Fastest speed of play too. It was incredible… I just realized I’ve been watching and/or playing for 30 years now. Great, I can be one of those people now!

Obviously they had a change of heart and understand the power of it.
Four nations was pretty epic too. Give credit to the NHL for reversing course on a dumb policy.

They should have never had to do that though. The USA/Canada gold medal game in 2010 was epic even though we lost. It wasn’t like the product was getting dry or overdone. How many times was Crosby’s goal shown throughout that yesterday and I’m including the pregame?
I will say this, yesterday was the perfect game to flip the script on Crosby’s OT winner against us. It was the exact opposite result. I texted to the group chat as soon as the 3rd period ended that I was gonna absolutely lose my shite if we lost to those fricks again in OT.

They've gotta do 3v3 to get a goal because the gold medal game is right up against the closing ceremonies. The networks broadcasting don't want millions watching hockey on a different channel while the big event is going on in the main stadium. It sucks, i think 4v4 would be better - but they've gotta get it wrapped up and its better than a shootout.

This is exactly the way it was done prior to this Olympics.
