3-on-3 OT's Olympic Fate Hangs in Balance
Coaches like Jon Cooper blast the 3-on-3 overtime format after Canada's gold-medal heartbreak to Team USA, calling it "not hockey anymore" in that wide-open chaos. IIHF president Luc Tardif digs in his heels, defending the setup as the only way to cram 58 games into 16 frantic days without endless marathons. With NHL stars like Jack Hughes cashing in on the gold-clinching snipe, the league's regular-season gimmick faces real scrutiny for the next Olympic cycle.
