Switzerland would need a win after regulation to finish better than 4th.

A win sets us up with a decent chance to finish first in a group for I believe only the second time ever. Of course would need USA to beat Finland as well.

[Czechboy]

Go Slovakia! Sorry Swiss.

 

[Elias40]

What exactly does it take for Sweden to play QF against Slovakia? My prediction is that Sweden will finish third in their group and Slovakia will finish second in theirs.

Third. They jut talked about it on TV. 98, 02 I think.

Swiss been the better team so far. Slovaks need to wake up

 

[TheBeastCoast]

This Slovak goalie is putting in work.

They did I think in the second half of the period. It’s still a pretty even play all things considered.

 

[jcbio11]

Good period. Sykora with the goal and Gajan keeping the door shut. Shots equal at 10 - 10.

Our dman, besides Nemec, have a real tough time getting the puck on the net from the point. That’s key, and could help a lot if we can get more shots through

 

[czechcanadian]

Good first period from both teams. Slovak defence is a little suspect but great goaltending saving them so far in the tourney.
This game should go right down to the wire.

 

[jcbio11]

Yikes. Defensive breakdown leads to a goal by the Swiss.

 

[tobu]

Typical junior 2nd period line change

 

[tobu]

Couple missed chances on both sides

 

[Statsy]

Can't believe how fast this game is at the moment.

 

[tobu]

Could have easily been 3-3 in this period already

 

[Antiillafire]

Nemec has been awful

 

[Speyer]

Swiss forward group with the best game of the tournament. Canonicas performance made the first line really compeditive even at this level. Mueller and Alge have been fantastic to. Even Reichle has been good for the most part. Just the finish is lacking as usual...
