He didn’t adjust to the Germans’ trapping ways. He didn’t shorten his bench when he needed to. He continued to use ineffective players.
And in a four-on-four situation late in the game, down a goal, the Canadian coach put fourth-liners Eric O’Dell and Maxim Lapierre on the ice.
Sounds all too familiar:

I’ll go OT here to point out that ODell had around a crazy 70% faceoff win percentage for the entire tournament, which is why he was on there.
