GDT: [WJC] Switzerland vs. United States, 10pm EST 11/8/22

[Hinterland]

Why isn't Lian Bischel on this squad?

Coaches didn't want our two best defenders on the team so Bichsel and Meier were left out. They left out two of our best forwards as well and they scratched one of them for game 1. It's just what we have to deal with in Switzerland
Also, please don't ask why we're playing a midget with poor positioning and technique in goal. I couldn't tell you

Stingy Swiss keeping the US outside the slot and some great stops from the Swiss goalie.

US with some sloppy passing and losing pucks along the boards in the offensive zone.

That's exactly what I saw too. I hope we can clean it up in the second period onwards.

 

[Summer Rose]

Maybe, just maybe, we could try getting some traffic in front of Pasche? Please?

Duran has seriously impressed me

 

[MichaelFarrell]

Duran has seriously impressed me

He’s such an asset in a tournament like this. Look at how impactful Grieg has been for team Canada. Big power forwards can make a huge impact in a U20 tournament.

Another late round pick who seems to be a late bloomer, adjusting into his body.

 

[Bone Density]

Excellent dish to Mazur

 

[Summer Rose]

Goal!!!

 

[MichaelFarrell]

Good to see Mazur get on the board. Great pass by Mackie Samoskevich. Mackie is due for a huge year at Michigan.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Hughes showing buttery hands holding the puck in. Very impressed with his poise.

 

[Ace]

Well well well how the turntables

 

[Summer Rose]

Damn.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Nice goal.

He looks so much better than he did in last year's tournament. Crazy how far some kids can come in such a short time.

 

[MichaelFarrell]

It’s really a shame that Bischel wasn’t allowed to play. He fits the identity of this team so well.

 

[oooooooooohCanada]

God bless Canadian and American hockey players.

James gets elbowed in the face and has his helmet knocked off. Does he fall on the ice and flop around like a soccer player hoping for a red card? Nope! He gets up and skates to the bench.

Well done, young man.

James just embellished hard gotta chill everyone dives/embellishes in hockey.

 

[Summer Rose]

Apologies to my U.S. friends here, but I’m happy to see the Swiss get some joy and keep this close.

I still expect the U.S. to take control & win, but I’m a sucker for the underdog.

No worries from me. I'm happy as a hockey fan if this is a close game. Of course, I want to win because I'm an American.

Of course, you already know this about me.

 

[ClayAikenFan77]

FWIT I watched pretty much every Omaha game last year and Pasche was soooo good. He stole a ton of games for the Lancers last year.

Faber and Hughes on the backend should be illegal.so so damn talented

 

[MichaelFarrell]

That’s exactly what team USA needs. Shots from the point traffic in front!

 

[Hinterland]

Marco Bayer a "terrific" coach? Well, you can have the terrific coach if you want

 

[DraftEligibleOHL]

Nice sequence by Faber. Called for the pass, received the pass, found the lane, took the shot, all while his head was up.

Both are great skaters. I’m interested to see the ceilings of both those guys. Surely they will be top 4 D at the minimum.

 

[Summer Rose]

Goal!!! Hughes has such a nice shot. 2-1!
