No excuse for a short tournament, especially in the championship game

the only issue is that the short tournament is really short. 7 games in 11 days making them play multiple overtimes would be really tough.
i think 4 on 4 OT for 20 minutes would have solved it. It has in previous years, USA winning in Sask, Sweden winning in Calgary, Finland winning in both 14 and 16. Only the 2000 final went to a shootout. That's like 1 out of 6.
