PGT: Game 1: Czech Republic 2 - Switzerland 1 (OT)

[that is unfortunate]

It was a soft call but a totally unnecessary play from Necas at the same time. No need to put yourself in a position for the ref to even make that call.

You can't just stop on a dime after driving the net.

The czechs look baaaaad as I thought before the game jeeez. Three man team

 

[Mav3rick07]

What a clutch save .

As a mediocre ball hockey goalie, I can assure you short side is tough to stop.

 

[Lays]

Eggenberger, Gross, Muller, Kurashev all standouts for Swiss
Czechs are obvious with Necas, Zadina, Dostal, Kaut

He extended out and did cross check him. He didn't hit him hard but he didn't need to do it lol

 

[PG Canuck]

Czechs should be able to finish this game off in OT with the talent they have.

 

[Zybalto]

The czechs look baaaaad as I thought before the game jeeez. Three man team

I'd give them more credit than that but a big advantage to being too heavy with talent is that it gives you a huge edge in 3 on 3.

She had fries on her own damn plate!

 

[PG Canuck]

Czechs win it

 

[clydesdale line]

Only a matter of time.

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

Kaut is like a man among boys out there.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Kaut man amongst boys

Kaut is like a man among boys out there.

 

[Ezekial]

Wooooo Czechs

 

[Zybalto]

Swiss looked like they were unused to 3 on 3.

 

[that is unfortunate]

Terrible 2nd and 3rd but I'll take it

 

[kudymen]

If we could actually do that without all the nerves around it that would be great. Good game Swiss, well done though

 

[clydesdale line]

The fact that the Swiss even got a point in that game is commendable.

 

[SI90]

Nice win for the Czechs. Good game.

Any word on why skarek didn’t even dress?

 

[czechmate]

Déjà vu...as every year... Dumb penalties, lack of finishing and a coach who seems overburdened. Couple of minutes left and he isn't playing 16,18,19... Luckily we won the game, but it could've gone either way in the end. Nothing to be excited about from Czech perspective

 

[PG Canuck]

Swiss will take that point but they had more than enough opportunities, especially power plays, to win this game and get 3 points instead of 1 point.

 

[FinnishSniper]

Did anyone spot Zadina’s reaction to the winning goal. Everyone else celebrated and he just stood there and didn’t even smile.

Playing for his own points only possibly...

 

[hangman005]

Little OT, but anyone else notice everything wrong with the score tracker on the TSN website... wrong date, flag around the wrong way for the game.

Well done Czechs on winning though.... but also well done to the Swiss for getting a point.

 

[OregonCanuck]

Wasn’t expecting this to go to OT I like that it did

 

[PG Canuck]

Did anyone spot Zadina’s reaction to the winning goal. Everyone else celebrated and he just stood there and didn’t even smile.

Playing for his own points only possibly...

That’s a pretty extreme hot take.

 

[robertmac43]

It was obvious once it went to 3 0n 3 that the Czech would win with their skill

 

[smitty10]

Necas, Zadina and Kaut are clearly head and shoulders above everyone else. Lauko and Kondelik looked good as well.

As a Leafs fan I liked what Kral brought. Looked raw but good.
