Rodger Sherman @rodger.bsky.social · 18/02/2026normies: more Olympic hockey overtime!!!! so exciting hockey fans: once again we are subjected to The Great Travesty 171344212
Rodger Sherman @rodger.bsky.social · 18/02/2026do hockey fans hate the shootout or 3x3 OT moreGordon@gordon9.bsky.socialThat's the shootout 43831
Unlicensed SCARtender @adamosports.bsky.social · 18/02/2026Shootout way worse. What I want is: 5' of 4x4, then 5' of 3x3, then 5' of 2x2, then as long as needed of just 1x1, no goalies, nets flipped around like pond hockey until there's a winner in the run of play 000
Smokey-Hell Nelson @thesmokeshow.bsky.social · 18/02/2026Fuck shootouts. Deciding a team sport with a skills competition is cheeks 000
Pat Lundregan @patlundregan.bsky.social · 18/02/2026I actually like it but for the Olympics it is patently absurd. 000
Rodger Sherman @rodger.bsky.social · 18/02/2026i kinda prefer the shootout to the 3x3 OT because at least the shootout knows it's a gimmick 101071
Ben 🇺🇦⚒️🫧 @bskolo.bsky.social · 18/02/2026at least the shootout has some relevance to the actual rules of the game (penalties) 000
Deep Sense of Creeping DreⱯd 2026 @devedy.bsky.social · 18/02/20263 on 3 is more real but they used to do 4 on 4 OT which is imo meaningfully less ridiculous. Basically forgotten in discussions of the Vancouver crosby golden goal which was during 4 on 4 010
gold @gold-en.bsky.social · 19/02/2026it's interesting that soccer fans seem basically fine with shootouts deciding 30% of their most important games 000
My Dog Is Smarter Than You 🌈 @richardfoc.bsky.social · 18/02/2026Shootout 100%! Hate the skills competition. 010
sriramofnorwell.bsky.social @sriramofnorwell.bsky.social · 22/02/2026shootout. 3x3 is a weird scenario - but it is real hockey 000
Poseur @poseur.bsky.social · 18/02/2026I don't mind 3x3, I just hate we don't have 3 point regulation wins. 020
TL Matson @tlmatson.bsky.social · 18/02/2026I despise the shootout. I don't mind the 3v3, but prefer 5v5. 000
Will Piner @piner.bsky.social · 18/02/2026I strongly prefer 3v3 OT and would like it if the NHL went to 10-minute OT to avoid more shootouts. This has nothing to do with my support of the Carolina Hurricanes, who are notoriously ass at shootouts but employ Sebastian Aho, one of the best 3v3 players ever. 060
GoalieLax @goalielax.bsky.social · 18/02/20263x3 because it's structured to end the game on wonky plays 000
Jamisen Etzel @jamisen.bsky.social · 18/02/2026I don’t mind the 3x3, don’t love the shootout. I feel like I could accept it for the first half of the NHL regular season but that’s about it. Also, with 3x3, you’re going to get a goal pretty quickly so I don’t think the SO is needed 000
Jason McCrank @jrmccranker.bsky.social · 22/02/2026This game is tainted now with the awful 3v3 format. 000
✨ Laas ✨ @whatabossislaas.bsky.social · 18/02/2026I hate the shootout. It is a miracle that my team, the Carolina Hurricanes have managed to win multiple shootouts this season. NHL Overtime would be better if they adopted the 3-2-1-0 points system like the PWHL! Gives the teams more incentive to finish the game in regulation. 000
Tomas @toobigatoboggan.bsky.social · 18/02/2026They’re both horse shit but the shootout is worse. My biggest beef with shootouts is that they ruined penalty shots; people used to lose their minds when a penalty shot got called. 000
Truman Peyote @charminggrump.bsky.social · 18/02/2026Shootout. 3v3 is a rare, but actual game state. It's like deciding a football game by field goals or a punt pass kick competition. 000
Kyle Baker @kylembaker19.bsky.social · 18/02/2026I have zero issues with 3x3 in the regular season but I would hate it in the playoffs. So it sucks that 3x3 is being used in the Olympics but I also get it 010
Jkrdevil @jkrdevil.bsky.social · 18/02/2026Shootout. But in elimination games they should have to play 5v5 until they collapse like the cross country skiers. 000
Adele @m-adele.bsky.social · 18/02/2026Shootout is way worse. 3x3 at least they're playing hockey kinda 000
Pleasant Sun Chips @chippleasantsun.bsky.social · 18/02/2026The point you get for losing an OT game is affectionately referred to as the loser point. Bring back ties in regulation! Why do people hate ties? 200
Haunts Moleman 🎃 @voncornhole2.bsky.social · 18/02/20263v3 at least resembles hockey. It's like breaking a bobsled tie with skeleton and then thumb wrestling 000
Bacon! @baconater28.bsky.social · 18/02/2026OT. At least 3x3 has a semblance of team play and skills other than shooting ability. I hate the shootout for big games in soccer, and I hate it here. 000
