GDT: Slovakia - Switzerland 19 20 (CET)

[Antiillafire]

All started with Knazko funnelling the puck. Can’t make those kind of mistakes against this Swiss team

 

[jj cale]

Swiss coming on, slovaks gotta watch those turnovers.

 

[Old Man Jags]

The Swiss really are on fire at these Skodas.

 

[mosare]

Swiss playing well so far

 

[Antiillafire]

Swiss nhl players accept offer. Slovak nhlers and the other good euro players say no thanks. Seriously disappointing

Time to forget about those players, they aren't here.

 

[vlady]

The Swiss are so efficient. Meanwhile, our forwards have trouble handling pucks

 

[jcbio11]

Some good chances by Slovakia. Let's see a goal now.

 

[vlady]

So frustrating to watch all these chances wasted

 

[tobu]

Kelemen’s first touch is bad.

 

[Antiillafire]

Kelemen finally getting involved on the boards, doing well so far. Lunter been good so far early too

 

[jj cale]

Swiss have had some holes this period, haven't been perfect at all.

Well it was going good for Lunter while it lasted

 

[tobu]

Solid Pk comtinues

 

[jj cale]

Dodged that bullet.

 

[jj cale]

Another one to dodge.

 

[vlady]

our elite PK is beating the swiss PP.

But we need to score. Our forwards need to do better, I really didn't expect that we would have this much trouble putting the puck in the net. So many fumbled opportunities and weak shots.

 

[Antiillafire]

Could really use a Slafkovsky goal right here in the second .

Could use a goal from anyone. But would like to see Kelemen or Regenda get going

 

[jcbio11]

We need more bodies in front of the Swiss goalie.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Swiss appear to have gotten their "A" teamers to accept. Good for them. Will be cool to see them take on Canada. Could be an important game, as it's shaping up, 3rd place in the other group could end up being Finland, so avoiding a QF against them in their home country is definitely something you'd prefer.

Slovaks are fast , gritty and most have good stick handling ... it is a fast game. Nice to watch.

We have to watch out not to make dumb mistakes ... we had some and were lucky they didn't capitalize.
10-6 in shots ... i guess that scoring opportunities difference would be a bit wider.

I am interested in what changes Fischer will suggest.

nice game.

 

[PWiz30]

And I forgot Josi, which is obviously worth a mention.

Timo Meier too. Hard to believe they only had 3 players with NHL experience on their roster at the 2010 Olympics and one of them only had a handful of games.

 

[Chainshot]

Swiss have had some holes this period, haven't been perfect at all.

But Mayer has done a nice job covering for them when those holes appear.

 

[GettingYourMoms]

Nemec is very impressive so far!

 

[jcbio11]

We're sloppy in the 2nd.
