PGT: WJC Bronze Medal Game | Russia Wins Bronze Over Switzerland 5-2

[Bounces R Way]

Talent disparity is pretty obvious in a game like this. Russia's blue line seems like it's been steadily improving for a couple years.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Yep, clearly offside. I guess they can’t challenge in this tournament?

Russia probably got robbed a goal in the US match though, that game was much more important.

Possibly, but the play did get reviewed. This one didn’t

5/5 Klassless Kostins

 

[Stubu]

4v4 for the last 1:45 of first period

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Dive by Tanner.

 

[Stubu]

I missed the dive

 

[EdJovanovski]

I’m surprised
First call to go in Russia’s favor all tournament

 

[BlitzSnipe]

My God, horrific errors in our defense.

Yes they can. The analysts of the French-Canadian feed said that some Swiss assistant-coaches on the press box were yelling to get Wohlwend's attention but failed to do so. Weird that they didn't have another way to communicate with him.

I think Tanner overjumped to sell it, Kostin just bumped him a little.

Yeah, that’s ridiculous. They probably weren’t going to win this game but to give away goals is just bad management

That's strange, should've been reviewed. But maybe the game won't be that close. So far Russia has been the dominant team.

Well they gave away the 1st Russian goal without even showing a proper overhead view. It most probably touched Shashkov's stick and was not counted.

 

[Pouchkine]

Swiss will finish the tournament with 2 wins and 5 losses.

The game isn't over yet, let's not jinx anything . Though I hope Russia takes it.

 

[Stubu]

2-1 !

 

[Messrules11]

The missed off-side looks pretty big now

 

[Stubu]

Put guys in front of the net and things happen... working man's goal...

 

[Stubu]

Kind of quiet in here? You'd think a "Hockey's Future" forum had more peeps in the WJC bronze game GDT. Well, quality over quantity

 

[Stubu]

Russia PP. Not sure if that was a weak tripping call or not

 

[PG Canuck]

Swiss need to survive this

 

[Stubu]

Pretty good PK and some Swiss pressure right after it

 

[Stubu]

Next goal is so crucial for this game

Over halfway through now...

 

[Stubu]

Switzerland's timeout, 7:47 to go in 2nd. Kinda early?
