I usually like Tourigny as a coach but there were a few headscratcher choices for the SO

Surprised he didnt used Tavares and Guenther, especially since he knows the latter really well
Tavares only has a 25% shootout goal rate, probably a good omission.

Good game by Switzerland. Canada wasn't going to be a very good shootout team so that result was not a shock at all. I'm disappointed that I don't have anything interesting to watch tomorrow.
Not with the players Dumbo put out there. Bedard and Guenther should have been in iit

Firstly - I want to congratulate the Swiss. I hope they win gold.

Second - I cannot believe Canada's players were not instructed to shoot on every shot. Did they not see Genoni's work on breakaways? That is pathetic from the coaching staff and the players to not be tuned into how you score on Genoni. Swiss scored on two shots.. They shot every time down

Swiss were crap after the 1st period. If Canada had anyone who could finish and a real coach they likely win.
You seem like someone that has watched this game as their first game in the tournament.

You don't know anything about Suisse hockey and probably nothing about international hockey either.

I remember during the round robin, the announcers were talking about how few shootout guys were on the team.

The team didn't have a lot of stickhandling and puck control skill on the team (aside from Bedard) and that always affects your shootouts and PPs.

Teams try to turtle and hold on to their lead all the time.

It's why score effects are cited so often in NHL games where the team that is down in the game soundly outshoots the opposition.

We should have scored on the 4 on 3. Yes, we killed one off too after, but that was the game right there.

Suisse has been dominant this tournament. They get a lead and they shut it down the rest of the game, Canada broke thru their amazing defensive game, very solid showing by both teams.
