Swiss are doing it perfect.. they seem engaged, coaches are coaching and goalie is playing well. Drew 2 penalties, scored on one and prevented ours (PP1 had great chances and pressure, put on PP2 and they were awful and lost the zone).

I'd say it's time to shorten the bench and go for it.. but I think Pesan would play Sobotka and Jerabek more and sit Smejkal/Zohorna's/Klok.
 
I was expecting a Czech medal with this roster. I’m not watching the game, but what’s the issue? Goaltending? Coaching?

In this match, mostly same problem as last time they played against Switzerland: not burying the puck in. A lot of good chances that ended up either too wide or against Genoni's pads. The match is very even, the difference is that swiss PP just clicked perfectly today and swiss players managed to stay more out of the box.

Hrubec hasn't been good all tourney really. I can think of at least 6 goals that could've been stopped. Pesan is not getting enough out of his roster. Sedlak and Hyka are eliminating Krejci unfortunately (I like both guys). Deployment is stilly... Jerabek gets way too much time for no reason. Pesan picked too many slow and old guys and now we are playing a hard skating team.

Most noticeable line is 4th line who skateas and skates and creates things. Other 3 lines are waiting for pick and to setup but Swiss don't let that happen as they are aggressive and fast.

Put another way.. fast skating team outplaying older team.

Spacek still getting no ice time despite being one of your best players like at the worlds? I remember being surprised at him playing so little despite creating every shift. So I’m not surprised if the coach is a moron.

You realize that the swiss won 2 silver medal the last 10 world championsship while the Czech didnt. Therefore what makes you so suprised that the swiss is leading?

I’m absolutely not surprised that Switzerland are leading. Expected the Czechs to lead probably, but I knew this would be a close game.

Swiss playing really well defending their lead. They are not passive and everytime the Czechs come to their zone someone's stick is on the way.

when you get a three on one rush three times in a row you'd better score at least once. Shoot that damn puck folk.
 
Nice shot.. saveable. Hrubec with 9 goals against in the last 2 games now... most at even strength. I can think of 5 that were stoppable.
 
Really great job from Swiss.. played their game to perfection! Even went down 1-0 and didn't panic. Took over the game rather quickly and have been controlling the game .. sure we've had some shots but Swiss are outskating out and have better tactics.

PP coming up. Should be noted we beat Russia with a lot of PP time but our 5 on 5 scoring has been non existent really. Maybe 4 goals in 4 games at evens?

When Pesan said he loved how our D played last game.. I was worried.

At some point someone will have to explain Repik, Sobotka over guys like Jaskin and Jasek.

Gorgeous goal.. meaningless but gorgeaous.. Krejci keeps passing to guys but they don't finish.

I've crapped on older players but Cervenka has been good all tourney. Glad he came!
