I'm not sure how the refs didn't call their 3-2 goal off anyways (they were awful all game long though, not surprised), they had a clear 6 men on the ice, and if they had won it would've come with a lot of controversy taking that into consideration. 

actually nobody saw that, even the Canadian bench, which is not a good sign for them

A friend who is a neutral called it fake OT so you are not alone.

still, you just can't play multiple ot in this kind of events

and if you play 5 on 5 it's very difficult to score goals, especially if the ot is only 5 or 10 mins

basically, every game would likely go to the penalty shootout

and tbh, better a fake ot 3 on 3 than a pso for this kind of matches and events

Let them play 5 on 5 until they score even the whole night if necessary

Better shootout 5 vs 5. Than 3 vs 3 hockey

would be fair, but at the worlds/olympics it's just impossible

You should be in charge of the rules, what a great idea

3 on 3 OT is BS anyways. And i've seen Finland losing & winning Gold medals in 3 on 3 OT....


4 on 4 would be the best possible OT format.

I thought there were "only" six Czechs. There were 7!

 

Apparently there were 8, the camera wasn’t even able to capture all of them

Edit; Two of them were changing, my mistake... but still

How does that even happen?
