NHL Overtime Format Stinks - Time for Real Change
The NHL's 3-on-3 overtime gimmick draws fresh fire as Olympic playoff chaos exposes its flaws, with coaches like Jon Cooper ripping it for turning hockey into a TV sideshow. Front offices whisper that the league's regular-season format kills the drama real fans crave, especially when gold-medal games demand full-ice grit without shootouts. GMs know the playoffs prove 5-on-5 sudden death works, and ignoring this backlash risks fan revolt before the next CBA talks heat up.
