It's not just that "my" team lost (and I will admit, as far as Ice Hockey goes, I *am* pulling for the US team heavily). It's just that, win or lose, to have an event which is meant to be a team effort decided by smething so arbitrary is aanoying. It sucks in soccer, it sucks in the NHL, and it sucks in the IIHF.


I mean, yes, the NHL in it's how-many-year history had a very few games go into four or five overtimes. But in the end, the games were decided by team endurance and team effort. Hockey is meant to be a large amount of physical effort. Let them play, don't have this stupid, arbitrary "we" suddenly get luckier than "they" do decision. If you're going to do that, why play the game in the first place?
