Oh my god. Do you seriously think that it was the move Giroux wanted to do? Obviously not. Watch it once again. He could not process the puck and failed, happens, that was the best what he could do after it.

Is Johnson any better?
This is probably the weakest goaltending I've see on a Team Canada in well over a decade.
Even mentioning the goaltending is ridiculous.
If you cant pot more than 2 goals vs Switzerland as Canada you deserve to lose, period.

2 is better than one
The NA arrogance is glaring. You have to respect your opponent in these tournaments as even the weakest of the lot can give you a hard time on any given day.

Well Canada **** the bed today
Ya as much as I claimed Canada sucked, I gotta give the Swiss credit for not only hanging in there, but putting the boots to Canada.
I agree. At the moment he is easily the best. I always wondered why he never tried to make the next step and tried to play in a different league. Anyways, happy with the result.

What evidence/examples do you have of this glaring NA arrogance?
This is not the first time Canada's lost to a "lower" team and Canada has known for generations that even the weakest team can give you a hard time; they lost...no big deal, life goes on(especially given it wasn't even an elimination game)
Do you actually have any evidence/examples at all of this glaring NA arrogance?

Herzog's backhand is easily one of the best in Switzerland. I'd say he's in the top 3:
1. Stan Wawrinka
2. Roger Federer
3. Fabrice Herzog

Good job by Switzerland to continue fighting after a brutal start to the game. Canada has plenty of things to work on after that game. Should be a good learning experience for such a young team.
I find it strange watching Cooper during the game. Whenever the camera is on him, he is just standing there silently. That's unusual for a coach. It's an irrelevant observation... just odd to me.

Your statement is a typical example of NA arrogance, as you are implying that Canada can only lose games when they aren't trying their best to win.
Canada is a favorite in matchups against all other national teams, but even favorites lose from time to time, despite doing their best to win.
