GDT: 2018 WJC • Game 08 • Group B: RUS (5) - SUI (2) F

[SCBdude]

Swiss need to improve in the second period. Way too many turnovers in the first.

 

[Summer Rose]

This game is winnable for Switzerland. Would be good for the sport, I think.

 

[BigBadBoar]

Russia just looking without confidence. But I believe if they manage to win this one, they will gather the momentum back.

 

[Canada4Gold]

...and it's 1-1

 

[SCBdude]

1:1 Miranda! And Swiss on the PP now.

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

How is Russia fielding such a terrible team? I don't get, massive country, big hockey tradition and this year the team is beyond bleak. Swiss are arguably outplaying him, no idea why Russia were considered favorites here considering how bad they were the other day.

 

[Snippit]

If the Swiss win the winner of the other Group gets Russia in the quarters...fun

 

[KrejciMVP]

wake up Russia

If the Swiss win the winner of the other Group gets Russia in the quarters...fun

Possible good thing to be 3rd in the group A. Can't see Finns beating USA.

 

[Fantomas]

No strategy at all from Russia. Now mostly individual plays.

 

[Snippit]

Possible good thing to be 3rd in the group A. Can't see Finns beating USA.

It's definitely going to be Czechs vs Fins in the quarters

 

[Fantomas]

Abramov is complete garbage.

 

[SCBdude]

Russians now putting on a lot of pressure, a lot of the play taking place in our zone.

 

[Privet]

Russia needs a couple of goalzaooo's if you catch my drift.

 

[FinPanda]

It's definitely going to be Czechs vs Fins in the quarters

Czechs are so unpredictable. They are either very good or very bad.

 

[SCBdude]

Biggest problem for the Swiss is that the Russians are winning almost every battle for the puck. Hard to score when you never win posession.

 

[Kshahdoo]

One of Bragin's hockey problems, it needs certain players. If Bragin doesn't have them, he can't do a lot. I hope, I'm wrong, but right now it looks like this. We don't have young stars or tough players. Current roster could probably do some damage, playing fast Soviet style hockey, but it's not, what Bragin is known for.

whats happening that year after year switzerland is moving up in tge hockey world and russia gets worse and worse

 

[jonas2244]

Wow, great PK-shift by Eggenberger there.

 

[izzy]

really curious where eggenberger ends up in the draft

 

[Zybalto]

Russians rightly pissed off by that offside call. Looked way onside.

 

[KrejciMVP]

whats happening that year after year switzerland is moving up in tge hockey world and russia gets worse and worse

Well Russia was 1 shootout goal from the finals last year, so theres that

 

[SCBdude]

What a shift on the PK by Eggenberger! Leading by example.
Wüthrich looking very solid in net as well.

the swiss are just sooo fast

like they have mediocre skills but they are just constantly flying around the ice
