1000% correct. Give me a winner and a loser.
Risk of injury? Negligible, more guys get hurt in warmups than in non-contact 3 on 3.
Unfair because players will be tired for the next game? Deal with it, every other sport does. And nothing stopping a team from playing more than the same 9 guys in the OT.
I can't stand the argument that a closer loss should be rewarded.
If you feel you must, end it after 20 minutes and call it a tie. Maybe you'd get 2 or 3 of those a year across the whole league.
