Selanne basically said the refs were biased. In favour of Canada. he’s an ass.

The closing ceremonies aren’t for like 3 hours. 5 on 5 OT would be fine. And if once in 20 years it goes long who cares. Or go 4 on 4 for double. 3 on 3 for triple.

That's the rules. You can't complain about refs if they call to the rules.

The coaches and players on both teams should demand that OT must be 5 on 5 or go on strike.

Justin Bourne said coaches should just put out 5 guys each.

They aren’t calling too many men so why not?

Add me to the list of those saying 3 on 3 is a crime here.

What I hate about it is that the best team isn't necessarily going to win, it's just one fortunate bounce.

Oh well, is what it is. If the Hockey Gods are just and true, Canada will get that bounce - they deserve this game.

True. I think it's fair to complain there are Canadian refs in a game that features Canada though.

I think McDavid as well. I'm happy with Crosby golden goal and a McDavid golden goal. Then we can potentially argue for years to come which golden goal was better by Canada's generational talents.

We're heading into OT in one of the best games of all time and some of you are dragging Olympic champion and Canadian hero Cassie Campbell for her looks.

Just go out and talk to the refs, "both teams agree that we're going to put 5 guys on the ice and you're not going to call too many men, cool? Cool."
