The Germans were all over the Swiss for the final two periods of their game and the Canadians dominated in the pre tournament. This Swiss team just isn't as good as last year's. They're the size of a Canadian bantam team they're so small. I don't expect much of a close game, the American game was close but the Americans' play has been terribly underwhelming in their only tests of the tournament so far.

Benjamin Conz is playing well, but there arent enough injuries/suspensions on Canada for this to be a perfect storm for a Swiss upset. maybe if Kassian was still out and Schenn or Ellis was injured - *maybe*

I for one hope Switzerland beats Canada.
Canada needs to be humbled in a very big way. Particularly their fans and national pride needs to just demolished. You'd think after losing to Sweden today they would at least eat a slice of humble pie, but no, now I want them to eat the whole damn thing.

I am swede and i think Usa will find this group B have much more footspeed and the skill- level couple level higher they group A and i don´t think Usa have been really tested yet the Fins was test but they are not even close to skill level CAN or SWE have in high speed.
Sweden have puck possession play like no one have in this tournament that will be very hard to any team to win.
A team how have puck all time is really hard to play against.

they can finish at worst 6th, only 6 team make the elimination round
as for the game, the Swiss can win but everything has to go right and I don't see that happening. I'm just sad they have to play the Swiss, I really like the Swiss, and wanted them to do well
That won't happen.
Canada will beat the Swiss. I also believe they will beat the Americans. They will then face the Swedes in the Gold Medal game.
If they don't play better then they did today, they will finish 2nd.
If Visentin plays well, Canada will win Gold.
And if Lehner plays well? This is Sweden's tournament to lose. I don't think Canada is getting by the U.S. based on their goaltending woes and lumbering D.

I just got back from the US/Swiss game, and the Swiss gave us one hell of a scare. Conz was sensational and they play a tough 2-way game. Canada should win, but its gonna be a lot closer then we may think
What there national pride needs to be demolished why that makes very very little sense.
Its hard to say sure the states is 4-0 but its not been a great tournemant lots of sloppy play etc.

If Canada had cruised through the round robin 4-0 and met the Swiss in the next game, I would be more concerned. This Canada team is not over looking anyone and are playing with an extra chip on their shoulders from here on out.
Canada will win by 3 or 4.

I know you're in Buffalo KevyD but I'm going to say the USA beats us decidedly in the semi final game. ( if we beat the Swiss-which we should)
I hope I'm wrong, but the American speed and Canada's lack of it, Canada's weak defence and of course goal tending will be our downfall.
PLUS we won't physically dominate the Americans like we have other teams.
