I never liked the shootout. Play OT till somebody wins.

It's gotten better, there didn't used to be an overtime. You just went straight to penalty shots.
On the other hand, I thought it was ironic for the Swiss to have a team in the cup anyway. I mean, with their officially neutral stance on everything, it just rubs against their nature to try and win anything. Perhaps that explains losing with no goals
Holy cow, did I just post in the baseball thread, that I
never read?
