"The USA lost to Canada in the Semifinals of the World Junior Champioships
in a shootout. Now ESPN is reporting that the refs didn't use the correct
procedure in the shootout. Turns out that Canada should have gone first
three times and then it was to be the USA's turn to shoot first. In the end,
Canada went first on all seven shots and prevailed when the U.S. missed on
the last shot.

I actually think the shooting order mistake was a major error. With Canada
shooting second there is far more pressure on the shooter had the U.S.
scored. Plus Frazee could gamble more with a lead.

HUGE mistake and inexcusable by the refs. Nonetheless it's something the U.S.
coaches should have picked up on implies that the U.S. was ill prepared for
the shootout."
