Is OT 3v3 in the knockout rounds as well?

10 minutes of 4 on 4 (20 min in the gold medal game)

These OAR jerseys are so hilarious and bland.


I need one.

I'm sure they love repping the USSR's colors. The IOC totally should've demanded them to not get red as their color. Something like pink or green would've been funny.

So is the USA done then? Because if so :laffo:

No, in this format, the 3 preliminary games don't really matter unless you make the top 4 which earns you a first-round bye (automatic quarterfinal spot). Nobody gets eliminated.

Am I the only one who totally expected Canada to not reach the finals overall without any NHL player nor prospect on the lineup? Like their current position (a potential 3rd or 4th) pretty much places them around where I thought they'd be, if not above expectations.

I expected them to be second only to OAR, and that the final standings would probably be 1 OAR, 2 CAN, 3 SWE/FIN.

Despite having to rely almost solely on Euro Canadians, the team still had plenty of talent compared to what everyone else (except OAR) had.

No way Russia doesn't curb stomp Germany though sadly

No question, but them getting blown away by Sweden and Canada seemed almost just as inevitable before those games, too. In hockey there's always a chance, and Russia did lose to Slovakia, who were trash otherwise.

I would find it pretty funny if Germany managed to win an Olympic gold in hockey before Finland.

I'll take just changing the gold to "not awarded" and Germany keeps their silver

This whole thing is a farce and the IOC is fine with it

Haha, there's no way this causes anything beyond a meaningless fine and maybe a few harsh words
