I agree with the Canadian coach on this. Leagues/tournaments are turning overtimes into abominations, and the NHL and Olympic hockey have been no different. 3-on-3 overtime is terrible even in the regular season. For a tournament/playoff, it's complete horseshit. And the coach did note that he was not using it as an excuse for the loss, and that his team had won a game under that format.

But, given that his team just lost the gold medal to the USA, in that overtime format, this was not the time to talk about it:

...Now, after the stunning overtime win by the U.S., Jon Cooper, coach of Team Canada, is crying foul over Olympic overtime rules and described them as "not hockey anymore." According to Olympic rules, overtime is played three-on-three. The U.S. defeated Sweden with the three-on-three format in the quarter finals, while Canada defeated the Czech Republic in a three-on-three overtime. This configuration speeds up games that go into overtime, but Cooper gave his theory for why the three-on-three is used, saying,..
