[aphyro]

Russia win this game 5-2

 

[Phil McKraken]

I'm going with Switzerland, they were impressive as hell tonight. 3-2

 

[jj cale]

This is a good Swiss team but I am still saying Russia here, too many game breakers.

 

[Retroglyphs]

Team Switzerland 2 - Team Russia 4

 

[EK47]

I'm going with Switzerland, they were impressive as hell tonight. 3-2

That’s exactly my reason for going against them they’re gonna be tired.

 

[Lambo]

Russia vs Swiss 6:2. SUI exhausted to much energy vs SWE and the games before. Russia has no sense of humor in this WHC.

 

[king89]

Schweiz will be somewhat exhausted and Russia is just to skilled. I say 1-4.

 

[Star Ocean]

Russia too good this year

 

[torero]

Swi 5 - 3 Rus

Swiss are too fast this year.

 

[Czechboy]

No way this awesome Swiss team loses 2 in a row... calling the huge upset and Swiss win 3-2. Not because I think Russia is worse but because this Swiss team is of a 'Top 5'calibre and I can't see them losing 2 in a row.

 

[ViD]

Will be shocked if we lose this one

 

[Star Ocean]

Will be shocked if we lose this one

Especially since swiss are on a back on back less than 24 hours last one.

 

[Tomas W]

Yeah I think that the game yesterday will be in the legs of the swiss.

5 - 2 Russia

 

[BigBadBoar]

Will be a very interesting game once again. Both teams played yesterday but I believe both ale in such physical condition that it will not affect the game too much. I expect not so crazy pace like in the SWE - SUI game, this one will be more about Russian puck possession vs. Swiss counterattacks.

 

[ndd17]

Will be shocked if we lose this one

Me too.

 

[joe89]

I feel like Switzerland went kinda all-in to beat Sweden, so no luck tonight. Might get their "upset" against Czechia on Tuesday instead. They'll be a handful for all the playoff teams in the other group.

 

[mattihp]

2-1 Switzerland. They are hot right now and I don't think the Russians have an answer to Josi's ship steering skills.

 

[Nexon]

No way this awesome Swiss team loses 2 in a row... calling the huge upset and Swiss win 3-2. Not because I think Russia is worse but because this Swiss team is of a 'Top 5'calibre and I can't see them losing 2 in a row.

I’m sure they dont have fuel left in tank, they will try but after they allow goal or two, they will concentrate on match against us, where their odds are better anyway.

 

[NinjaKick]

Sweden vs Swiss was an amazing game, Lundqvist looked like he was in his prime... the Swiss are no joke, should be a good competitive game

 

[jonas2244]

New offensive lines for Switzerland

Fiala - Hischier - Moser
Ambühl - Kurashev - Andrighetto
Hofmann or Rod - Haas - Martschini
Praplan - Bertschy - Scherwey

Genoni in the net.

 

[Nexon]

Georgiev in net, Russian chose to rest their main goalie, they probably dont think it will be too hard against Swiss today
Prove them wrong.!

 

[63 others]

Hop shwiiz

 

[Pensionsraddare]

Wow.
