Good game by the swiss, looks like they are are in top 7 or top 8 with that play, menas they can win anyone in the tournament. THey countrolled the play pretty good time to time and had good forecheck what put some problems on our D that isnt that world class (timonen, pitkänen, salo, lydman we could've used you 
).
But the D did good job on defending. Mostly the swiss just put in some shots on the legs of defender and didint have that many great1000$ chanches. Also we were stronger easily in the goalie area and didint let any crappy goals in (thats how you win tough games, its not about beaty).
Deserved win, 1 could argue about one finns dive one penalty, but since swiss had their diving goal (the guy put hes head down and clean hit resulted in a penalty) and also dived tripping penalty in the very start of game what made Koivu mad its even steven and its still 5-2.
Swiss reminded my like old times when we allways outwork/skate teams like Checz or Canada, shoot everywhere, and then lose the game barely but still lose it most of times. They are pretty close for beating up anyone. They just need some players who can adjust the tempo, sometimes lower the tempo, create some room and better scoring chances, and they need to be stronger clearly in front of the net if they want those crappy goals and they must be tough on their own net too.
