Honestly, Canada is spending a lot of time in the USA end.....that really doesn’t bode well for the Americans.

Yeah the Americans getting caved right now. Hellebuck is holding right now.
The Canadian roster has more skill and that is usually what wins. I’d like Sullivan to change the lines but that’s not his MO.

Win or lose the American goalie should be MVP.

We are going to OT. That’s fitting I suppose.

**Overtime follows **IIHF rules** specifically designed for the final:

- If the game is tied after regulation (three 20-minute periods), it goes to **sudden-death overtime**.
- Overtime is played **3-on-3** (three skaters per team plus goalies).
- Each overtime period lasts **20 minutes** of play time.
- There are **15-minute intermissions** between periods (with ice resurfacing).
- The game continues with additional 20-minute 3-on-3 periods as needed **until a goal is scored**—the first team to score wins immediately (no shootout allowed in the gold medal game).
- This “marathon” format ensures the Olympic champion is decided on the ice, not via shootout (unlike preliminary rounds or other knockout games, which cap OT and go to shootouts if needed).
