It's amazing they can't make playable ice this day and age in pool A hockey.

I mean they had the div. 3 world championships in Mexico a few years ago without any ice-problems, for crying out loud. :shakehead

The games should only be held in the top-8 hockey countries, then we wouldn't have to see this.
No its just a new trick to sell some more beer in the stands and in the bars. Capitalism is not a new thing in Latvia.

Ok, it looks silly and one just wanna laugh about it but I think it is a good thing countrys like Latvia are the host nations to the world cup. Can just wish that they will improve their rinks and some time in the future they can be the host nation once again and everything will work, and maybe then there will be no horns in the stands. Got to start somewhere.

Haha, Finnish tv-commentators told that the game had taken too long and the Latvian television did not buy enough time to use the satellite.

Zetterberg is just awesome! 2-1 Sweden. 2 goals Z

Edit: Hardshooting Jesper Mattsson makes it 3-1. 26 seconds between goals.

4-4

^^ Indeed they do.

Esa Tikkanen was really sure that they would not.

This has been one of the best games so far.

I've only been watching the last period,
but it looks to me like all the SUI goals
in the 3rd have been caused by sloppy
defense from SWE.

Uh.. Nik Kronwall did a pretty good (well.. it was bad too) Aki Berg impersonation there.. I think those two late giveaways were good for this team though. They will be on their toes more next game.

Pretty good game, even if it was a bit disrupted by the Latvian ice-berg incident.

Wow, gotta respect the heart that the swiss team showed today. :clap:

I thought for sure the game was over when Sweden scored their 4th goal, very uncharacteristic for Sweden to lose a two goal lead, in the third period no less.

One of the best games so far despite the delay, and the ref wasn't too bad either. :)

Yes, very good game with a pretty good tempo and some physical plays.

Zetterberg was tremendious. Finally, the swiss team deserves one point for a great heart showed at the end of this game.

Two good teams in fact...

Some of BÃ…G's selections where really exposed tonight. A. Karlsson, his defense aren't good enough to play against this kind of competition. Jesper Mattson, if he scores a goal per game he is OK. If not he shouldn't be on the team. Too many clowns and not enough hockeyplayers on this team.

Now, let's see if the Swiss can keep this pace in the next round. IMO they should win the game against Belarus but the Belarussian (???) played great hockey lately. Should be a good game.

The coaches of both teams are standing around together and having a laugh.

They know each other well. BA Gustafson was assistant coach of Krueger once.



The Swiss play against Slovakia next.

Belarus will beat Switzerland. And maybe take a point away from Sweden. Switzerland will fight Slovakia for the final 4th spot.
