It's a necessary evil, though, in the Olympics, where you have only 4 teams in each group. You can't have games end in a tie, when only 8 teams go on to the medal round. But the medal round is like the NHL play-offs, and I think they should play until there's a winner decided by regular play, 5 on 5, like the NHL does in the play-offs. They have two different venues, so it's not like they have to squeeze in 4 quarterfinal games in one arena.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
