6:1 Sweden

 

[torero]

2-4 swiss. EN by josi

 

[ManWithNoName]

This will be our hardest game so far, Suisse has been on fire. I think it will be a close game, but we win, 4-3 in OT.

Too bad Forsberg isn’t playing today.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Switzerland adds Josi & Fiala, Sweden adds Hörnqvist & Arvidsson

 

[jonas2244]

It's not sure yet if Fiala&Josi are playing.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Swiss will win because they are gritty and physical and skilled. Hockey is not just about skills its also about grit. Sweden have one physical player, its not enough.

Arvidsson and hörnqvist might not play, they just arrived.

I wouldn't say that's the problem.
Sweden has tons of skill, but doesn't play a full 60. They're taking it easy at times, too many passes, trying to do too much. When they're leading, they just cruise in the game, a little lazyness as if it was too easy. But it's not, and they had some troubles in recent games because of this.

 

[swisdan]

Hard to say if Josi and Fiala will play indeed. I think they ll decide by themself.

 

[Retroglyphs]

4:2 for Switzerland, if they play with Fiala & Josi

 

[GarryMc]

4-2 Sweden

This is one of those games that youd like to put your money on Swiss because its still very possible that they win, but then it wont happen when you put your money on it.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Arvidsson and hörnqvist might not play, they just arrived.

 

[Eye of Ra]

indeed "if they are healthy" .

lineup with them ?

rakell - zibanejad - hörnqvist
arvidsson - backlund - nyquist
janmark - kempe - elias
jdlr - larsson - pääjärvi

 

[theslatcher]

There were a lot of Swedes disappointed in themselves after the OT win against the Slovaks, add in Hörnqvist & Arvi if they have no jet lag, wanting to go for the gold, and I really doubt the Swiss will win 4-2 if they have Josi & Fiala.

 

[jonas2244]

Josi&Fiala arrived just before noon and I guess they will play.

 

[OregonCanuck]

Who’s the scratches for sweden

 

[theslatcher]

Who’s the scratches for sweden

TBA if Hörnqvist & Arvi will play, but expect Everberg to be a scratch for one of them, and then idk for the other, they'll determine if they're ready to play in a few hours so we should know by then.

 

[Healthy DiPietro]

If Arvidsson, Fiala and Josi are all playing tonight, why not Forsberg and Ekholm?

 

[theslatcher]

If Arvidsson, Fiala and Josi are all playing tonight, why not Forsberg and Ekholm?

They're arriving in Cph tomorrow. Ekholm had to wait for his newborn's passport to arrive yesterday, and Forsberg's exit meetings were a day after Arvi's.

 

[RageQuit77]

Simply depth of Tre Knonor is enough to take this one to Svea Mamma.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

confirmed
