I've been harping about 10 Min OT since 3v3 became a thing. Yeah you're tired and making stupid decisions at the end of it...that's kinda the point....

Gets you away from the stupid shootout.

I like the 3-2-1 point system

3-2-1 is dumb, go back to ties if and one point a team if its tied after OT.

But yes, make it 10 minutes.

Crosby doesn't panic. He also doesn't put personal gains ahead of his team. It took him a few years to figure it out but hey, we're all dumb kids to start.

chances of this are less than zero, Reinhart is the best goal scorer on the team they aren't going to pull him for Bennett lol

I wouldn't hate the 10 minute 3 on 3 that becomes a tie if unresolved.

But you'd need rules to keep teams advancing the play so they aren't just retreating into their zone to keep possession and kill the clock.

I'm so over shootouts.

seriously though Canada has (hopefully) 3 games left. What if they lose another dman or heaven forbid 2? Its absolutely insane the rosters are so small and they aren't allowed to add.

Same risks for everyone.

There’s a “first 60 seconds of the Hunger Games” vibe to this tournament that I’m really digging.

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.
That's what I said. At the age of 37 Sidney Crosby is stillnthe best player on earth. Change my mind

I'd like to point out McDavid was like an inch away from crosschecking another player in the face. What a hack.

Sidney Crosby is such a good hockey player. One of the best to ever do it. Still elite at 37 years old

I wonder if Aiden Hill takes the net on Saturday, Binnington was not at his best.

You are allowed to add if you fall below the minimum roster requirements (18 skaters and 2 goalies).

Watching this game really shows how elite Crosby is, and why he wins and Mavi doesn't. Crosby may have the highest IQ of anyone to play the game, definitely top 3. McDavid is pure skill, no leadership, doesn't take over games the way Crosby or MacKinnon does. Crosby is a rising tide that lifts all boats. He makes the game easier for everyone he's playing with... he's got that MJ quality - when he's out there it just feels like everyone is thinking "Alright, the boss is here - follow his lead."
