GDT: Group B - May 21 - Czech Republic vs Switzerland

[Czechboy]

Fun game and awesome atmosphere, promising quarterfinal ahead for both teams

I think all 4 quarters could be awesome.. if Czechs got Germany I guarantee it goes 3-2.

It makes sense because if they finished 2nd in the group there is slight possibility that they would play Germany in quarters instead of Canada/USA.

I wouldn't do it. Tie game just go for a win

Canada-US can go any way, the QF schedule is still wide open.

Which not good for the poor mod who had already anticipated the creation of the finland-switzerland and Russia-Germany gdts

Dumb.

Very entertaining game. Plus the most hilarious TV commentary on the Czech TV: "Watch what a game this is! When one team wants to score a goal, the other never wants to allow it." Thank You, captain obvious.

Thanks for nothing swiss. If you didnt pull goalie at 4-4 sweden could finish 1st or 2nd in group and avoid russia in semis.

To avoid Russia in the Semis, you have to beat them tonight. So why would you fear them?

It's always better to play for some medals instead of being eliminated in the quarterfinals.

How as Nico today? These start times are killer

 

[czechmate]

It was a good game + Czechs are cool on hfboard ... (no toxic indirectly insulting person) ... props to you guys.

Props to you for that comment!

 

[Czechboy]

With 4 goals

You keep mentioning Semis... You are most likely to face US, Canada or Finland in quarters. I'd worry about that before Russia in semis.

I was laughing when there was that non called Jaskin's crosscheck and during the replay one of our commentator said: "well, this was also borderline", the second one: "that was a foul" and the first one: "without a doubt".

I'd really enjoy thise jaskin things more if he was on line 4. Move palat up! He's the better player.

I agree with that, Palat was so good today. It's a pity he has not scored one, he would deserve that. Hopefully in the QF.

Yes, Palat was good today. I feel sorry for him that so many Czech fans who don't understand hockey at all hate his performance in this tournament. He has not been scoring of course, but his contribution to the team work is still valuable.

What would happen if Latvia didn’t pull their goalie? At least we will have Sweden Finland derby hopefully

Russia will play Sweden in the QFs regardless of how it goes tonight (except if they tie, I believe).

Ok, you wouldn't, but for them it was either win by two goals and maybe gets 2nd place or be 4th no matter how game finished (win by one goal, win in OT or lose).

You're wrong.

Teams from the same qualification group can't be against each others in QFs. Russia and Sweden are in the same qualification group, so therefore they can't play against each others in QFs.

I meant the semi-finals, my bad.
