Find your edge. I know at least one person took it too heart when Switzerland's coach went on a pregame diatribe that essentially explained why he needed Jesus to keep it mildly respectable between two teams with a talent disparity that you truly did have to hear to believe...
...and it was Switzerland's backup goaltender. You don't exactly have to be a NHL draft aficionado to hear the roster makeup of the two teams, and come to the conclusion that the underdog stood about as good of a chance of physically intimidating their opponent as they did of using sorcery to summon the skill of Nico Hischier in hopes of recreating 'Miracle', so intermission hijinks were definitely the play here. Now, with the score already being 3-0, Matteo Ritz would have had to literally hypnotize Carter Hart into thinking the fastest way to a World Juniors championship was to open up a tunnel between his legs for his mind games to get a tangible return on the scoreboard. However, if you're going to lose anyway then making your far more talented opponent look like a mental midget for appearing desperate and dependent while also treating a zamboni driver like someone that's trying to take the parking spot you just pulled into during holiday shopping. If nothing else, Canada's keeper was the one that looks psychologically fragile here, and that's saying a lot considering he was currently beating the brakes off a team whose head coach preemptively guaranteed defeat.
