that was better than i expected in terms of the excitement. Super fun game. nhl needs to adopt 10 minutes of 3 on 3. way more exciting than a shootout. Canada vs usa will be a fun game on saturday.
Theodore went for x-rays on his wrist in the 2nd. Worst fear is an injury in this tournament.
This might be a stupid idea, but maybe use shoot out logic. Make a rule that the teams have to rotate through the roster in OT before players can take another shift.
I get that it might be hard for the refs to track, but maybe an eye-in-the-sky system could be used?
Some teams would still just gas their best players and make them stay on as long as possible, but it would reward teams that might not have top superstars, but invested in roster depth.

Not sure how the refs would police that. Probably end up being endless challenges
I wonder if Bennett draws in for the next game. The typical players he would replace (i.e. someone from the bottom 2 lines) looked pretty good. Can’t say any of the forwards had a bad game but I think Reinhart looked a little off. Probably a case of adjusting though. Doubt he would be sat for Bennett to play.
Wonder how Doughty is going to hold up. Older guy. Barely played this season coming off an injury. Got to think he was completely gasses after that game.
Crosby showing why he is still the number 1 player in the world IMO. I have always said It's Crosby, Mackinnon and McDavid in that order . This game proves that.

I saw a collection of individuals in the same colours trying to do it themselves (at least offensively) until Crosby stepped on the ice and shepherded them in a way. He was the guy with vision and could see things developing while every one else was just battling through it.
His assists were not ordinary assists. He drew defenders and parted the seas so his linemates could capitalize.
Exemplified the leverage that IQ brings over just having oodles of skill.
