OT: IIHF World Championship

[Fossy21]

Well... that certainly came out of nowhere

Nino missing the puck helped him

 

[Fossy21]

That sucks for the Swiss, but not exactly unfair

 

[mjhfb]

Canada is really not a factor on the world stage these days

Well they won the World Cup at the start of the season, with their top players. This was not the best team, it was merely some of the players that were eligible, healthy, invited and accepted. And based on their play, some of those took it as nothing more than a good time Euro holiday with some hockey mixed in.

Excuses... they still had much higher quality than just about any other team. Also, World Cup was two years ago.

Sweden was the better team in the first period, but Switzerland playing with a lot of heart.
Physical fatigue permitting (this really worries me), it is shaping to be an entertaining game.

 

[Fossy21]

Genoni is going to make 55+ saves

 

[BruinLVGA]

What a game so far. 2-2 at the end of the second period.

 

[Fossy21]

I hate Hörnqvist, but Timo Meier was very lucky they didn’t call that high stick to make it a 2 min 5 on 3

 

[Fossy21]

Nino has definitely launched into at least two hits. Didn’t know he had a dirty streak

 

[BruinLVGA]

Switzerland bringing this Sweden team to OT is one heck of a semi-miracle.

 

[Bruinaura]

And now a shootout

Go Switzerland!!

 

[BruinLVGA]

I am going to throw up.

 

[Chief Nine]

Hats off and a stick tap to the Swiss for taking Sweden to a shootout. Great game!

 

[Bruinaura]

I am going to throw up.

*Passes the barf bags*

 

[Fossy21]

Anyone think Genoni doesn’t get a look in the NHL?

 

[Bruinaura]

Woohoo!!

 

[Bruinaura]

Yay!

 

[Bruinaura]

Lotta Preds in this game

 

[Bruinaura]

Surprised Forsberg was only 2 for 10 in the regular season with all his moves.

Awwww. Bummer.

Be proud, Switzerland!

 

[Chief Nine]

Anyone think Genoni doesn’t get a look in the NHL?

Someone will take a flyer on him or should

 

[Chief Nine]

Great effort by the Swiss. Too many stars on Sweden to deal with

 

[Bruinaura]

I am going to throw up.

Sorry dude

 

[Fossy21]

Sorry, LVGA. Would probably have preferred for Switzerland to take it in OT than Sweden in a shootout again, but they didn’t really have the legs. Great effort, especially by Genoni, MVP of the tourny.

 

[Fossy21]

Someone will take a flyer on him or should

Might not be a bad idea

 

[Bruinaura]

Might not be a bad idea

Are you trying to jinx the poor guy? Come on
