WC: 2025 Switzerland

And Genoni in the net

That should be enough to finish top 2 and go into the quarterfinal as favourite. These can't possibly go wrong, right?

Very good team play so far, the team is less top heavy than last year. Fiala and Meier still have some potential for improvement. On the downside, still too many mistakes, I wish they could repeat the game against the US.

Hungary and Kazakhstan should be 6 points, they just need to be careful against Norway to avoid Sweden and Canada, and maybe even win the group if Czechia can't run the table.

According to RSI, Hischier was seen at the end of the game with the scratched players and he was „slighlty limping“. So, I think its nothing worse, or I hope it at least. But slightly limping is in my eyes more or less „positive“

 

[jonas2244]

I wouldn't see that positive, if you limp there is normally a reason behind which doesn't heal up in a week.

 

[BruinLVGA]

Praying Nico will be fine, but I am more positive now about the chances this team has if our captain can't make it. It feels like the boys have reached a maturity and an understanding of their qualities and capabilities, enough to continue steadfast in the quest for the gold no matter what.
The way they handled the US and now Germany feels like I am dreaming.

I mean that can be caused by a lot of things. Lets wait until tomorrow

Does Switzerland need Hischier until the elimination games begin? If not they might not say anything until next week.

To be honest: No. We should do well against these 3 teams also without him.

If he's done for the tournament they will say so and bring in Rohrbach. And we'll see this night if NIno might get available. I think he'll jump into the plane as fast as possible.

 

[stv11]

There's already 13 forwards so I doubt they'll register Rohrbach for the moment.

In case Nico is not done 100%, I would rest him until the 1/4 final

 

[jonas2244]

Yeah, probably not.

Glauser is having a huge tournament defensively, by the way. I think I didn't see him loose a single battle in the last two games.

Des nouvelles rassurantes de Nico Hischier après sa blessure

That sounds promising. Fischer is not so worried and the reason why he left the game was because they did not want to give him pain killer and rather wanted to give him a break. But he sounds as we can count with Hischier again, maybe not tomorrow.

 

[stv11]

Fischer said it's "possible Hischier plays again, maybe not in 24 hours". They'll know more tomorrow.

"No comment" regarding Schmid and Niederreiter.

Nah. Switzerland already played the top teams of the group. Now there‘s only Norway, Kazakhstan, and Hungary left to play. But even if that wasn‘t the case, Nico‘s health is more important obviously. I wouldn‘t want them to play him unless he‘s cleared by the doctors.

Well, I don't think they can play him unless he's cleared by the doc, it's not the NHL playoff there and I'm pretty sure there is big money insurance things behind this so, if Nico play again you know he is ready to go

 

[pucked]

Anyhow, there‘s no reason to rush him. We have enough players to play as center. And Hofmann can be dressed to act as 13th forward for the next 3 games.

And Hofmann could be pretty effective with his speed against those 3 opponents.

Correct.
