    What a game, and it finishes with a 4-3 win for Switzerland after penalty shots! It felt like the shootout might go on all the way into 2014, but Claude Paschoud made sure that this game did eventually have an ending. Finland won't be too sad about the loss though, they got the point they needed and have finished in second place in the group. The quarterfinals will take place on Thursday and we will have all of the games covered for you, all that's left for me to say today is Happy New Year to you all! Until next time. (20:44:03)
