Great win for the U.S. over Russia today!  Sets up another big matchup on Saturday against Canada.

Anybody else think the U.S. should have declined the penalty shot and made Russia serve the penalty late in the game?  Tough call, but I think given the situation and crappy ice I go a man up for the remainder of the game.  Doesn't matter right now, but a talking point.

Nope. Take a free penalty shot every time.

I get what you're saying - run that clock with multiple chances vs. an all or nothing with no time coming off - but I probably still take the shot.  Goalies are typically disadvantaged on the penalty shot, plus you have no chance of giving up a short-handed breakaway while you try to score.

I couldn't find in the IIHF rule book where declining a penalty shot is even a option.

Even if it was an option, I would only ask for that if it was one of my goon D-man awarded the shot. The type of goon d-man that has 1 lifetime hockey career goal. Having an unpressed breakaway will almost always give you a better look than a 2 minute PP.
