GDT: Switzerland - Russia

[jonas2244]

Both teams could seal the quarters with a win. And the winner of the game could well end ranked first in the group. Can Switzerland compete?

very difficult to predict: Switzerland 3:2 in OT

 

[jonas2244]

The last win from Switzerland vs. Russia in an official game was on the 3th of may 2000 in St.Petersburg.

Ah, the amazing world championships in St Petersburg where Russia lost to pretty much everyone

I'm guessing that Bobrovsky hasn't arrived yet? Does he have a quarantine to do or something?

No Bob, Tarasenko and Orlov for Russia in the game because of quarantine. No Zub, Kuzmenko, Okulov and Grigorenko either because of injures.

I forgot that you guys are getting those guys as well. Well they won't have a lot of time to prepare for the WHC playoffs. It will be interesting to see if it works out for Russia in the end or will it break the team dynamic.

 

[jonas2244]

Great period by the Swiss team.

 

[Speyer]

Hofmann the best player on the ice again. Hockey IQ issues from the past seemed to have improved a lot. Hopefully he will get a fair shot at the NHL next year.

 

[stv11]

Yeah, can't ask for more, apart from a goal.

Could have been worse, Berra almost became a Youtube legend with that almost own goal.

Furrer would have offered him a beer I guess.

 

[stv11]

Berra is already a Youtube legend since 2016 actually, he would have jumped way ahead of Furrer with that one.

Add Suri and Rüfenacht in 2014 and it's already a pretty solid collection

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Russia's looking weak in this 2nd period. Only a matter time 'till the Swiss make 'em pay.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Wow, great rush by Burdasov .

 

[Derbon99]

Beautiful goal but sad for the Swiss as they are clearly above Russia in this game

 

[jonas2244]

I wouldn't say above, but at least equal.

 

[stv11]

Switzerland was better for most of the game, Russia was only dangerous in the 2nd half of the 2nd period.

Would be a shame to lose this, you won't see such a beatable team Russia very often.

 

[Speyer]

Despite the high scores against Sloviakia and the Czechs 5 vs 5 scoring has been a weak point for Switzerland this tournament. The PP has helped to cover this up but in the knockout stage this needs to become better if we want a shot at a medal.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Russia's been doing better than expected so far.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

As soon as Russia didn't clear, I knew they're gonna get scored on.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

The Swiss are gonna take it though, this Russian team is gonna mess up probably.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Wow, good battling by Tolchinsky - stayed with the puck and got it to Karnaukhov.

 

[stv11]

Really unlucky, Russia getting 3 goals out of nowhere.

 

[Derbon99]

Efficient
What a nice goal this third one

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Wow, Tolchinskiy is punishing Team Switzerland today. Smooth hands!
