Canada Beat Swiss! In Shootout?

By AJ Petronzi

Despite losing 3-1 to Team USA and being down two goals 35 seconds into the second period, the Swiss team forced Canada to an overtime, then a shootout before Sydney Crosby scored the game winner on his second shot in the shootout.

Canada lost a huge point tonight in having to go to extra time. With tonight’s win, they only have five points in the tournament bracket, while the USA has six points and it’s likely that Russia will move out to six tonight also. Canada will have to beat the USA on Sunday if they plan on being a top four seed going into the medal round.

Slovakia lost 1-3 to the Czech Republic last night and tonight must face the Russian team which is a heavy favorite to walk away with either a gold or silver medal. An update about that game will come later.
