I suppose its just inherent among hockey fans to complain mind you, but its so inherently unnecessary in this case.

This club starting to look like the Sochi group...which was probably the most dominant team in Olympic history once NHL players were allowed.
On almost every level or occasion, 100% accurate.

Sports is littered with teams that either didn’t understand tiebreakers or accepted that a win was enough. Might it be today? Sure. Sports though is an inexact art and while this result isn’t in doubt, the other result v USA has to still be played for.

I’m writing this as a coach that has had to pummel opponents in Provincials because of a match on another pitch.
