GDT: Canada - Switzerland

[Antiillafire]

Josh Anderson has looked like a complete bum this whole tournament. Even if his point totals suggest otherwise

 

[swiiscompos]

Sure, Meier probably deserves it, but how is that not a trip and a half?

 

[cg98]

This is a really good Swiss team. Credit where it's due, they've outplayed us at every turn and deserve a win.

Every team should be duly warned about them, they are a legit gold contender with this team.

 

[NyQuil]

Good game Swiss and good luck in the medal round.

Well-timed wake-up call for Team Canada.

 

[Speyer]

Suter has been so good today. Especially on the PK.

 

[jj cale]

Now that's how to do a penalty kill, we had a couple of looks but nothing really dangerous.

aggressive, organized, TC take note.

Well, 6-3, that's game. congrats Swiss fans, you were clearly the better TEAM today.

Good game Swiss and good luck in the medal round.

Well-timed wake-up call for Team Canada.

This team doesn't have the goaltending to even think about getting away with that kind of play against good teams, it better be the wake up call.

Congratz Switzerland

Swiss NT has come a long way, they'd be a legitimate threat best on best with Fiala and Josi. This is a really good Swiss team that beat us.

Gotta love Switzerland, i live next to Helsinki Ice Hall and i woke up this morning to those cowbells. Lot of fans here and it's great, really taking over Helsinki.

And this team is fun to watch, they are playing for gold.

A very pleasant surprise. Complicates things though. Nobody in the Tampere-group wanted to finish fourth but now it is better to finish top two.

don't forget Nino.. it's a shame that there haven't been any best on best lately I wonder how they would do but they could certainly give a hard time even to the top nations I think

 

[FinPanda]

Switzerland is the gold favourite now imo.

 

[swiiscompos]

Switzerland is the gold favourite now imo.

Yeah, no. Team Canada played pretty awful defense and the goaltending was not great to say the least.

 

[ottawarenegader613]

This Swiss team is the real deal for a medal this year. Watch out whoever plays them in the quarterfinals.

 

[jj cale]

Switzerland is the gold favourite now imo.

Looked very good today, impressed with them.

Teams are gonna ramp up their game come medal round though.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Yep, Swiss are the gold medal favorites now!

Hopefully Canada makes it out of the 1st qualifying stage.

 

[JackSlater]

Good job by Switzerland. From what I saw in the third Canada has plenty of kinks to work out.

 

[jj cale]

Yeah, no. Team Canada played pretty awful defense and the goaltending was not great to say the least.

We played like dogshit defensively and goaltending was likely going to be a problem to begin with. Thompson is a 3rd tier netminder when we are talking about goaltenders in the world. Still, the Swiss really played well and look real solid, credit to them.

 

[BruinLVGA]

Well deserved from the boys today. Nico Hischier best player on the ice for me. Great present to Andres Ambuhl for is world-record-setting 120th WC game.

It's still possible Finland and Canada will meet at the QF

 

[Junohockeyfan]

As a Canadian, its hard to like this team with Julian behind the bench. I just absolutely hate his style of play. Its incredibly boring and should be banned in international ice. No one likes cycling hockey and dump/chase on international ice. lol

Julien should coach team Britain.

I really enjoyed the Swiss game. They were fast, creative and opportunistic as well as disciplined.

 

[jj cale]

It's still possible Finland and Canada will meet at the QG

I embrace the challenge, 2 thumbs up!!

 

[Nico13]

I don't like when we are very good before the elimination games.

Saw the other group standings and the more likely opponent in the quarters are the czechs. That's very bad for us.

Czechs or USA will be your QF opponent most likely.
