A lot of hockey fans get frustrated that there isn’t more hockey<\/a> talk in the mainstream sports media or from some of the top personalities in the industry.<\/p>\n However, the truth is, many of these figures don’t know the first thing about it, and while some will, to their credit, cop to this, others, well, they don’t.<\/p>\n No, they go the Skip Bayless<\/a> route and fire off one of the most boneheaded hockey tweets in the history of the Internet.<\/p>\n Which isn’t that long, but long enough\u2026<\/p>\n READ: SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM WANTS TO KNOW WHAT MAKES SOMETHING AN OLYMPIC SPORT INSTEAD OF A HOBBY, AND SO DO I<\/a><\/p>\n Like a lot of us, Skip was checking out some Olympic<\/a> puck and caught the quarterfinal thriller between the United States and Sweden.<\/p>\n The US led 1-0 late, but the Swedes tied the game late (this happened in three of the four quarterfinal games) and sent it to overtime.<\/p>\n In the ten-minute, 3-on-3 extra frame, Team USA and Minnesota Wild defenseman Quinn Hughes<\/a> shook off a line change, stayed on the ice, and potted the game-winner off the iron.<\/p>\n \u00a0That’s good as it gets.<\/p>\n Everyone loves 3-on-3 overtime and the way it creates more space for the most talented players to do their thing.<\/p>\n
