Its a new Tournament that the NHL pushed for its kind of like the World Juniors but for NHL players... Its not as important as the Olympics but people play for Pride :) and we just eliminated the Americans! YAY

Oh wow lol. That's a shame for USA to be eliminated in an NHL tournament. I was rather suprised to get home saturday seeing USA lose to Team Europe 3-0. Is it only NHL players allowed or can the countries just pick anyone they want? I first thought this was the real world cup when i saw World Cup of Hockey. Well anyway, i kinda hope Canada wins this playing at home.

I dont think its just NHL players I think its a collaboration between the NHL and theIIHF (international Ice Hockey Federation).
Its the first time they had it in a while I beleive so I know little about it ...

I thought so. I saw some names i never heard of before.
Also, what do you think about the new overtime rule of 3v3? I think the commentator said this will be applied in the NHL too.

Call me old Fashion but I am not a big fan of it and actually they used it all of last season in the NHL.... It just does not feel like rink hockey to me more like Pond Hockey witch is fine if that's what they want but I preferred to 4 on 4 OT....

Yeah i get what you're saying. They probably want it decided faster but it doesn't feel as natural.
In baseball outside the MLB they do a same kind of thing in extra innings, they put 2 runners on base to start the inning. It's very strange and it's way too easy to score.
