Beautiful assist by Nazar, there.

Wow! That was sick, Brindley off of a beauty Nazar pass.

It’ll go unpunished because it’s Switzerland, but Seamus Casey is a bit of a disaster defensively.

NHL Network coverage is so f***ing bad. Listen to these clowns talk about Buium playing himself into "the middle of the draft"

US has been very loose defensively, giving monster gaps and allowing some uncontested net front pressure.

Thank goodness NHL Radio has the TSN call. NHL Network with awful EK Hradek calling PBP. Just awful!

The game norway-switzerland could become interesting. Its not a huge gap between those two nor/swi. A do or die game for both.

The gap in speed and depth is huge. Even Slovakia got dominated 5vs5 and they have a much better team than Norway so under normal circumstances, Norway won't be able to play an even game vs Switzerland. They might not have to though. The problem of this Swiss team is that they have two very poor goalies and I think the mickey mouse coaches still don't understand this. I always said that if Huet isn't the starter, this Swiss team might get relegated. That's how poor Beglieri and Grüter are. Not a great fan of the Swiss special teams either.

He has been today but he’s typically pretty good in his own zone for a player of his archetype (Smaller offensive defenseman)

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Huet cmon

 

[Chainshot]

"Slapshot" reference on the TSN broadcast.

 

[Geoist]

huggli with an ugli game.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

this is bowlin shoe ugly

 

[Antiillafire]

Looks like it will be Slovakia USA to decide first place in the group if everything stays the course. And both teams will be rested so no problem with back to back games that hurt slovaks yesterday and Swiss today. Now where will Finland finish in the other group, where do you want to finish in this group

 

[Czechboy]

So Slovakia demolished us
Swiss took Slovakia to 58 minutes

What the hell are the US doing to us tomorrow?lol

Leonard on the PP after a netfront drive.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

US plays like they have their hair on fire. Intense pace.

 

[Hinterland]

Swiss goalies were stopping penalty shots and breakaways yesterday now they can’t make a save for the life of them. Only Slovakia man…

Switzerland won vs Switzerland because Beglieri lost his net which allowed Honzek to score into the empty net. Can't really blame your goalie if you don't score any goals yourself but it remains a soft goal that handed Slovakia the win.

Today, Grüter gave up 3 soft goals but Huet didn't have much of a chance on the 4 he let in. The first was an own goal anyway. Huet should have started both games.

 

[Geoist]

nazar gonna look so good with bedard.

You can almost picture the Finn's struggling, finishing 4th and beating the 1 seed. It wouldn't even be that shocking to be honest.

 

[Larmer83]

Starman comparing Leonard to Steve Larmer? Completely different players.

 

[TLEH]

Buium is pretty damn good.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Nazar to Brindley again, this offense does not play around.
