I understand they dont use 5vs5 in the normal games, but the final should be played 5on5 until its decided. There is no rush for next game, so I`d love to see WC beeing decided the way its usually played.
 
It's funny becasue most 3 on 3's are over within 5 minutes but there is a 20 minute intermission to get read for it.haha

I'll be surprised if this goes longer tahn 5 minutes.

No idea who wins.

Ice Hockey at Beijing 2022

Venues: National Indoor Stadium, Wukesong Sports Centre
Competition Dates: February 3-20 (Days -11-16)
Events: 2 (1 men, 1 women)

In its basic form, hockey is a game played on ice in which teams try to score in their opponent’s goal, using curved sticks to move the rubber puck. Five players and one goalkeeper are on the ice for a team at any one time, with substitutions coming from the bench. A regulation game consists of three 20-minute periods with two 15-minute intermissions. At the Olympic Games, no games can end in a tie, so deadlocks are broken by a four-on-four overtime period or, if needed, a shoot-out. Overtime is five minutes for group stage games and 10 minutes for all playoff games, except for the gold medal game which has a 20 minute overtime.

Please Canada score gold medal winning goal so early in overtime as ever possible.
I have early wake up call tomorrow morning ( i have to go work ) so i will not stay awake half-night because hockey world championship final. Go Canada go. You've been better in this game.
 
3 vs 3 is a gimmick that should not be used in gold medal finals, there is nothing wrong with 5 vs 5 like the NHL.

It hasn't been the greatest, but considering the no-name rosters, I thought this has beent watch a really entertaining game actually.

Good hockey.

If entertaining is the value, why not watch some beer league.
 
I outlined the actual stars. The rest might be Finnish stars, but they're not hockey's stars. I wish I could include players like Laine (fallen off recently) and Puljujarvi (inconsistent) but let's be honest, the Canadian roster features stars of the sport itself.

Im not comparing Finnish and Canadien rosters. Canada has way more superstars, hockey is from Canada, Canada has 31million more people than Finland. Best league is in northern America so i think its clear Canada,Russia,USA has more superstars. But saying Finland is missing 5 players from this tournament is shit.
 
Hintz might be a bit faster, can score and he is actually good distributing the puck too. Doesnt hurt that his actually a pretty big player too. I`d say he will be legit. If playing injured every 2nd game gives u PPG+, what will he be when healthy?
And Hintz's injury, even after healing, may make him never play the same again. Stardom in the world of professional sport is a combination of two things: Production (especially in important times) and consistency. Hintz could be great, or this season could be his only notable season.
 
Walker is back.. I do agree that LUndell was most likely tripped... if they lose I imagine that will be mentioned.haha
