GDT: 2018 WJC • Game 05 • Group B: SUI (3) - BLR (2) F

[PG Canuck]

Swiss has controller the entire game so far. Doesn’t look like it’s going to be close unless Belarus wakes up.

Outside the Maillard chance, I wouldn't say that the Swiss have done much with their possession either.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Miranda's uh I can't believe I didn't score there face there reminded me of when Marner does it.

 

[PG Canuck]

There we go!

1-1

 

[Lays]

Sushko (flyers prospect) puts it in for Belarus
Hits the Jagr celly as well

 

[Canada4Gold]

Nice forecheck from Sharngovich and a bit of a garbage area goal from Shusko and it's tied. Belarus needs their best players to be their best players and they were right there.

 

[GKJ]

Sushko, greatest player.

 

[Lays]

Sushko is a beast wow

 

[kabidjan18]

Switzerland is the smallest team at the tournament. Maybe become a liability here. They'r undoubtedly more talented.

 

[Woodhouse]

This game's very winnable for Belarus, as expected. Too bad the poll got swallowed up. Equalizer:

 

[WeThreeKings]

From that period I liked -
Yeryomenko
Sharangovich
Drozdov

Grosse
Nussbaumer
Kurashev

 

[DeflatedFootball7]

Yeryomenko is adorable, that Engrish.

Speaking of which, how on earth was he not picked last year?

 

[BigBadBoar]

thanks. Anyone to watch for Belarus?

Yeryomenko, Sharangovich are their best players in my opinion.

Sushko too Homer post.

 

[Statsy]

Ugly opening goal for SUI.

Riva with the shot.... and yet remarkably no assist for Riva on the play. Make note of that C4G!

 

[Canada4Gold]

IMO Sharangovich is the best player on the ice for either team. So many of these teams best guys are 18 or 17. They both should have fairly solid teams next year. Looks like playing in the KHL has really helped Sharangovich's game mature. Really strong on the puck, really skilled and really smart. I'd be surprised if he doesn't get drafted as a double draft overager in the next draft.

 

[Woodhouse]

First power play goes to Belarus.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Sharangovich reminds me of Anisimov, that coming across to anyone else?

 

[Canada4Gold]

That was the worst icing call ever. Belarus player won the race AND the goalie came out to play it. This faceoff must come at center ice and it does

 

[WeThreeKings]

Good smart shift by Maillard

 

[BigBadBoar]

Sharangovich looking excellent. The Swiss control the game for the most of the time, but it is too apparent they lack a real scorer or/and playmaker this year, a player that would be the game changer. This is too much about endless rotation and puck control along the boards, but they lack skill in from of the net.

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

Tough to give up a PP goal on a too many men call at this point in the game.

 

[kudla]

Belarus scores a very important one

 

[Confucius]

Swell this is surprising 2-1 Belarus

 

[caslava]

Swiss in trouble. Would be surprising to see them in a relegation game after solid last few years
