Is OT 5x5 then?

Funniest thing if someone started a "let's go Sioux" during the "let's go Canada" and "USA" chant.

Why would you do that when you can use the 3x3 gimmick. It’s going to be 3x3.

No shootout.  They continue playing 20 minute periods, 3 on 3, until a goal.

[cberkas]

So, they got rid of the shootout in this game. 

NHL and all of hockey, ban shootouts.

Salt Lake City 2034 please ban shootouts - from everyone

USA wins.

So, is the "Heated Rivalry" staying together?

Knock Women's hockey all you want, but US vs Canada in Women's hockey is a good watch.

Pathetic way to determine the gold medal winner. 

[Wilbur]

Team USA got the heart beating the last two days.....man.....

Still needs to be decided 5X5, but I'm just a guy at a desk in North Dakota.

I wonder about Skip, maybe he needs to go keep Steven A Smith company

I think the 3x3 format benefitted the Americans in this case, being the younger team.  They had a hard time getting going 5x5 today.

I was struck by the difference in aggressiveness between the men’s and women’s game 3x3.  It wasn’t as much about puck possession and circling back, in fact I was surprised how many times they chased behind the net, knowing the open ice if they come up empty handed in the puck pursuit.

Maybe they should call him Skip Clueless!

IIHF Wonk #1: What if the game is tied after regulation? 

IIHF Wonk #2: Well, how about we play a completely new game? Different strategies and different number of players to decide the original game? 

IIHF Wonk #1: So we play futbol to decide hockey? 

IIHF Wonk #2: No, instead of 5x5 we play 3x3! 

IIHF Wonk #1: BRILLIANT! 

[Wilbur]

Well since Skip said it, all NHL OT in the playoffs should be 3x3 and then a shootout to determine the winner if no one scores.

The Stanley Cup on the ice after a shootout is what the game is all about.

You could actually bring the Cup out and put it on the ice during the shootout!
