After watching the finish to USA vs Russia mens hockey yesterday, it seems like a very real possibility that this tournament could be decided in a shootout. Like most around here I'm not a fan of the shootout but I have to say it was entertaining to watch Datsyuk/Kovalchuk vs Oshie go to 8 rounds. What does everyone think of the format of repeating players after the first 3 shooters? Who is team Canada's shootout ringer that could go head to head against Oshie, Datsyuk, or J.Jokinen? Will this factor in to the decision of whether to start Price or Luongo? Here are a few NHL career shootout stats from Canada's top guys:

Luongo: 33W-40L- 0.672 Sv%
Price: 21W-24L- 0.699 Sv%

Toews: 34 of 68 (50%)
Crosby: 25 of 59 (42%)
Kunitz: 13 of 33 (39%)
