Hockey's on right now. I think they should make a second set of medals just in case the game is decided in a shoot-out. In that case the award shouldn't be for Hockey Gold either, but for "Shoot-Out gold." IMO, if you've won in a shoot-out, you haven't won a hockey game. The game is still tied.
They might as well decide the game with any number of feats or tricks normally seen in skills contests. Or keep it a tie and then add up the points from previous games. They're all equally meaningless.
EDIT: Thankfully the game ended in the scheduled overtime. It was a sudden-death overtime, which I'm not fond of, but at least it's orders of magnitude more credible than a shoot-out.
Canada Gold, USA Silver, Finland Bronze.
