If anything I'd like to see Canada use our skill more... not sure why we are so anti skill in our coaching. We've got the most talent... lets use it instead of cycling and firing shots from the point into shin pads all game long.

They're high risk against good teams though. If they try the same fancy passes, spin-o-ramas and dangles against a team like Sweden, Russia or the US they'll probably be stymied and lose.
Yes, Canada has a stupid amount of talent, but if they just added a touch more grit and grind to their game, I feel like they'd be borderline dominant in this tournament.
Also, to be fair, the Czechs blocked a crap load of shots today. Kudos to them. Not much Canada could've done about that.
