Want Canada to win but I just wanna see it end well with whichever team scores. Czech surprisingly came to play. I thought this would be a 7-1 blowout.

4 on 4 is perfect. more structure and flow with lots of open space and odd man rushes.

It’ll be over within 10 minutes. I’d guess in under three for Canada just based on speed advantage.

Gold Medal OT 3 on 3 is a shame.

Should obviously be continuous 5 on 5.

They should do one period 5v5, then go to 3v3 after that

The whole tournament should be 4 on 4 OT until there’s a winner. Shootout is garbage.

I know Bedard is good, but I really don't like how much they're shortening the bench here.

Or like some Japanese game show where the number of players you're allowed to have on the ice alternates based on a randomizer and theres lights that let you know that you can have another player on or when one has to leave.

Embrace Chaos.

3 on 3 has become less and less entertaining as teams choose to pass it back out of the offensive zone to maintain possession.

As a result it doesn't resemble true hockey as much to me.
