[MBTendy]

Berra is getting the start .... really? wow

 

[jonas2244]

No, Stephan starts.

 

[BigTom]

Berra is getting the start .... really? wow

Where did you get that from? Is the lineup above confirmed?

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Expecting a big win from Switzerland.

 

[Systemfel]

Bellemare is back in for France, that's huge.

 

[Systemfel]

France is looking pretty good thus far.

 

[Moen is Gone]

Roussel is hurt but stays on the bench. Hopefully nothing serious

Edit: back on the ice

 

[Belenos]

Niederreiter hit the post. Switzerland is dominating now.

 

[NicolasH]

Auvitu !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Systemfel]

Great screen by Treille in front.

 

[Moen is Gone]

Auvitu! Great job by Hecquefeuille

Interesting low position on the PP

 

[NewHopeForEveryone]

rooting for france...obvious reasons are obvious

hope they will continue with this performance

 

[zorz]

Go France, show them you are good at hockey too

 

[The Noot]

Great performance by our neighbours so far, respect

But the last 3 minutes let me hope, that we will turn this game around. The french D was exposed from time to time.

What really needs to change: Switzerland plays way to soft. They better throw some checks in the 2nd.

 

[NicolasH]

Da Costa ! 2 - 0 !!

edit : Damn 2 -1.

Teddy Da Costa scores the two goals.

 

[WeberStreit]

What a crap game! No hits so far, Simpson did put Niederreiter in the 3 line, despite he played better than all the other forwards. Just a lackluster performance.

 

[The Noot]

Hell yeah, Brunner!

But I really dislike what I see so far. Switzerland plays pretty horrible.

EDIT: WAS THAT SO HARD GUYS?

 

[NicolasH]

Wow, what a play by the Swiss !

2 - 2

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

2-2 a'la Brunner.

 

[begbeee]

Swiss wins this one. Tomorrow is The Day.

 

[The Noot]

It seems like Brunner finally woke up. He dominates since he scored his first goal today.

 

[Tritsche]

For me the lines are absolutely without any sense. Why change every line just because of one injury? I don't get it. Hollenstein and Bieber are freaking 4th line player and play on the first and second line...

It's even more random when you think about the fact, that Nino Niederreiter, a LW, plays RW on the 4th line

Is Simpson drunk?
