Olympics?

Piddle all you want on the little things like 3x3 overtime. The fact remains--the USA brought home GOLD in both men's & women's
Hockey! Maga in it's truist form!

Ya I agree, at least a half a period of regular 5 on 5 no sudden death. IMO both hockey and soccer need more scoring. Bigger goals or something.

Smaller goalies. It seems like they find the tallest, broadest person they can find. Then put these massive "pads" on him with these humungous "gloves". He covers up 2/3 of the net just by kneeling in front of it. And they seem to be getting bigger over time.
Don't get me wrong. I thought our goal tender was amazing. I thought we had no chance as Canada was putting so much pressure on our dude but he turned all of the shots away except 1.
Maybe some of you hockey dudes know, does a goalie need any skating skills at all?

Being able to stand and go down back up side to side and keep view of the puck. Yes they have a high level of skating skill. I dont want more points i like it to matter scoring and with the skill of the players now just an inch bigger would make a huge difference look how many shots hit the pipes

If the "best" team cant get it done in three periods of 5x5 we don't need to see another period of it. At some point the game has to end and there will be a winner and loser. Everyone griped about shoot outs so they go with 3x3 now. Canada had the advantage in the 3x3 with guys like Mcdavid, Mackinnon, Makar, Celebrini and yet they kept trying to go hero mode and go 1 on 3 to the goal and kept losing possession and ultimately giving us better chances to score. Not sure what any of the three Canuks were doing on that final play.

Supposedly the " best team " couldn't get it done with 5 on 3 for 1:45

Any time a yankee can beat a canucks is a good day for hockey. They are by far the most competive people I've ever met. Not necessary more talent just thick tension . when are kids were pee-wees in hockey, we made it to the championship against thier biggest rivalry. We get to the rink and someone walked up to the coach and said we are checking IDs. Nobody had ever heard of that that I know of. Anyway things got carried away between coaches and the whole rink of parents . And heres these kids that just wanna play hockey. They made phone calls and what not and in the end , our best skater on the team
