GDT: [WJC] Sweden vs. Switzerland, 2pm EST 10/8/22

[Speyer]

Good to know that our PP is still terrible. Bichsel would sure be handy with the breakouts right about now.

 

[Statsy]

If the Swiss don’t score on one of these early penalties, they are going to pay later.

 

[Chainshot]

Sweden uncharacteristically undisciplined so far.

 

[Kuracmugger]

We are getting the PP‘s pretty much gifted to us but can’t capitalize

 

[Jukurit]

Sweden just wants to practice their PK.

Chronic issue for our national teams. Probably won't change under this coaching staff.

He has good hands and overall offensive instincts. Not a very good skater though. I still expected him to get drafted late this year but apparently nobody wanted his rights.

Damn that's a nice stache on that kid. Draft stock

Very true, he's already been drafted though by the Red Wings

Switzerland couldn't have asked for better than three power plays in the first period, but that power play unit looked very unthreatening. Sweden looked a bit sleepy out there, I'd be surprised if they don't get a few in the second. I'm watching mainly for Edvinsson and liked some of what he showed.

sweden sleeping today lol?

 

[Speyer]

Switzerland about 200% more dangerous on 5v5 than on the man advantage.

 

[Dan Kelly]

Switzerland is playing dump and chase out of the defensive zone at the moment

Game has been a snooze fest so far in my opinion....

NHL Network also has the TSN feed.

I agree it’s not very exciting, but I’m just happy to be watching hockey.

There‘s an aspect of this type of game which I can enjoy though. An underlying sense that it can break open by an extraordinary effort at any moment.

 

[kudla]

Just noticed Lekkerimäki is playing.

 

[JellyRamp]

wallstedt is doing quite well

More chances. Not really dangerous because none of them can finish.
