Officials Shut Down Cooper's 3-on-3 OT Gripes
Jon Cooper vents frustration over the Olympic 3-on-3 overtime format that cost Canada gold against a Jack Hughes-led Team USA, calling it TV-driven circus hockey unfit for playoffs. IIHF president Luc Tardif fires back, insisting the rules stay put to cram 58 games into 16 days under a brutal schedule. Cooper admits his team knew the rules and owns the loss, but the debate rages on as NHL stars like McDavid and MacKinnon lace up for best-on-best without full playoff purity.
