That's a bad bounce there, beat him clean

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Dam.


Canada looks strong however. I think they can medal

 

[jj cale]

Just can't win these f***in shootouts, what the hell is going on?

 

[FlareKnight]

Well good for the Czechs. Both teams played to their capabilities and either could have won.

 

[TJ Hooker]

Why didn't Gretzky shoot?

 

[Frank the Tank]

Back to the days when a hot goalie can beat Canada. I prefer the steamroller versions of the team since 2010.

 

[NyQuil]

Just can't win these ****in shootouts, what the hell is going on?

No big deal - they played pretty well for the most part.

 

[c9777666]

Canada lost an Olympic hockey game?

Apparently that can happen?

 

[I am not exposed]

international hockey is so stupid with going to a gimmick in such important games.

now we get a shutup to finish what was a great game.

the black SWEATERS are awesome!!!!

Yeah, it is pretty odd. Not like Footy has penalty shootouts....

 

[McRpro]

Are you just here to complain?

Yes. I guess HFOil is rubbing off on me.

 

[NyQuil]

Yeah but you could play for days in footy without scoring a goal.

Anyway - you aren’t going to have endless OT in a tournament - especially early on.

For one thing, they usually have to share the ice.

Amateur broadcasting at its finest. Miss a SO attempt while showing a replay and tell all the viewers it's 3 shooters when it's actually 5.

Makes sense in round robin games in a short tournament. Only other options are ties or continuous OT, the latter just isn't plausible in this format.

Amateur broadcast for an amateur tournament.

I wish they went with draws at the end of regulation like in soccer. 3 pts for win, 1 pt for draw and 0 pts for loss.

 

[Northerner]

this is actually so much fun to watch

It's the best hockey you can watch. Easily the most exciting hockey. I'd watch this over an NHL game ANY DAY.

 

[c9777666]

Canada has already allowed as many goals in 2 group games- 3- as they did in the entire Sochi tournament.

 

[El Travo]

Scrivens looked like he has never been in a shootout before. What was with the paddle down stuff and his constant twitching? Czech goalie was just calm and let the player make the first move.

 

[johnnystormcgy]

Thought the Czechs played a speedy heavy game, congrats on the win.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Even game. Czech goalie played well. Hate seeing games decided in a shootout.

 

[NyQuil]

We lost to Martin Gerber in 2006.

They played pretty well but it's still a fairly big deal..........tie games after overtimes are settled by shootouts at this thing and we could very well end up in one in an elimination game.

We aren't winning them.....................at any level.

That's a problem nyquil.

 

[Pieck]

Well this makes Czech-Swiss an interesting game

 

[22Brad Park]

Will Dejardins is terrible How you do not send Gilbert Brule out of 5 skaters in shootout is a joke No wonder he was fired in NHL

We’ve won shootouts before.

Toews at the WJCs for example.
