Its far and away different from coaching an NHL team where you have a lot of time to game plan based on the players that you have, and build the team that you want to build.
Because this is a Canadian all star team of players from loser teams dropped in a week or so ahead of time, the coach is basically stuck with a rudimentary game plan and the job of yelling "Change em up"
Peter's performance here has very little impact on his NHL job.
Even with things like the World Juniors there are months and camps to bring a team into alignment and into focus.
The world Championships is meh, half of the players accept so that they can stay on the ice and bring their wives and girlfriends on an all paid vacation to Europe.

Everything you said I agree with, except the paid vacation part. These guys don’t do this for the free trip hahah.
