GDT: Czech Republic (3) vs. Switzerland (4) • Group A • Dec. 27

[Zaddy]

The czechs are looking a lot better. Swiss struggling to create anything, get suffocated every time they try to enter the czech zone. Hischier looks pretty lightweight in a game like this too.

 

[Ramboshaw]

I could just slap whoever made that stupid Nike commercial.

 

[Zaddy]

Liking Necas so far.

 

[Hemsky001]

Swiss goalie is the MVP so far.

 

[kulenova seka]

Czech much better, should have lead few goals

 

[czechcanadian]

Czechs looking a lot better for sure. Hopefully one finally goes in.

 

[kulenova seka]

Czechs will win it for sure, it is just matter of goal diff.

 

[czechmate]

Necas just might be one of the biggest prospects of Czech hockey in the upcoming years...He has got the vision, the skills and has an amazing position play! He really is the guy in the Czech team that attracts most attention...Too bad nobody could answer on his great pass just in front of the crease...Hoping to see more of Hischier and Siegenthaler. Quite like the physical play of Weber (& Zboril)!

 

[torero]

We were definitely disorganized ... specially in the offense ... and Van Pottelberghe made 1 good save. The others were routine saves. I don't see it as sooo dramatical. Czechs had more drive ... and are hot. Always tough to face a hot team in a first game.

we'll see the 2nd period ... Swiss have to wake up though.

That was Petr Kalinas pass by the way...

 

[Wooren]

Jasek looks great.

I was pretty confident that I saw Necas nr. 8, must have been Kalinas nr. 28 then (even better that a great pass like that comes from one of our defense players) Thanks for the reminder ;-)

 

[Statsy]

Strong game for van Pottelberghe so far.

 

[tade]

Necas slashing on Hischier.

 

[Hemsky001]

I'm really impressed by our puck possession during 5 on 5. Good stuff.

 

[czechcanadian]

czechs really starting to hem in the swiss in their own end..

 

[Zaddy]

Czechs need to create some traffic in front of the net, don't think they're going to be Pottelberghe cleanly. He looks dialed in.

 

[Hemsky001]

That's a bummer.

 

[czechcanadian]

typical czech luck. completely dominating and the other team scores

 

[Canada4Gold]

scores!!!!!

Hopp Suisse!!!

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Good sequence of board play and then the setup for Hischier

 

[Zaddy]

That's gotta be deflating. Nice play by Hischier, but relatively weak goal for Skarek to let in, again.

 

[Hfbsux]

Hishier is a beast!

Very impressed with Necas too!

lucky - unlucky, doesn't really matter does it. If we are not able to score throughout the phases that we dominate, we can't complain....
