I perssonally don't see how it matters whether lindros or the german
shot first.  The other team always has the chance of tying it up.
Anyway, all protests have to be made before the actual shot, according
to the Canadian omypic committee, so they expect nothing to happen.
However, tomorrow, if the olympic committee sides with Germany, the
sudden death shootout will take place again.
