It's hard to blame the coach for the stupid, brainless penalties taken in this game. These players aren't new to pressure situations. Ya it's the biggest stage they've ever been in but really they've been in pressure situations throughout their lives (I'm assuming these guys have played in various championship games, tourneys etc) So it's not like they dont' know....THEY KNOW not to do that dumb ####.
Canada gets 2 wins, only one in regulation time against Denmark, they other was against the lowest finishing team, Suisse, and that took a shoot out.
I feel like that goal the Finns scored at the end of the 1st was a turning point. There were many turning points after that, yes, but Canada was in complete control until that point.
