PGT: Game 15: Russia 7 - Switzerland 4

[Blender]

Great start for Switzerland.

 

[koyvoo]

2-0!

 

[ORRFForever]

Wow.

 

[Startseva]

That luck will end sometime What strength? 1st was a fast goal, can happen, and now after long time pressing by Russia another goal.

 

[Fred McCarthy]

I'll take Swiss counter attack goals all night , this is super ...

 

[Killahpunk]

Go Swiss!

 

[LAINEC]

Wow! 2-0

 

[hockey20000]

What were they saying about this Russian group being puIIed from a tournament in under 18's 0.0? where they gonna test positive for something?

 

[sandysan]

The Swiss are looking really good. They don't need to score so long as their stifling possession/team D holds.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

The pesky Swiss making it happen.

 

[Blender]

Kurashev is usually good for a goal, so I still expect another Swiss goal some time.

 

[greasysnapper]

Some good adversity for the Russians. Their offense hasn't been great this is a great test.

 

[Blender]

Great rush by Podkolzin.

 

[sandysan]

The Swiss are aggressive on the puck AND laying the body.

Impressive

 

[Fred McCarthy]

Oh Oh....

 

[OilerPensfan97]

That's offside. Shouldn't count.

Why wasn't that challenged?

 

[Hennessy]

Switzerland is always a good bet for an upset, regardless of level. That said, it's still in the 1st.

 

[FrankGallagher]

Podkolzin has such a knack for making a play exactly when his team needs one

 

[Yeah15]

Hmm, he kinda coughs it up, I don't consider that one as cut and dry as Ray and Gord seemed to make it

 

[greasysnapper]

Podkolzin has such a knack for making a play exactly when his team needs one

But no finish. The lack of production is a bit underwhelming for what the Pod hype has been pre-tournament.

 

[TimeZone]

Russia coming alive.

 

[sandysan]

That's offside. Shouldn't count.

Why wasn't that challenged?

You can preceed the puck so long as you have posession.

Which he did.

Which means a challenge denied is a 2 min minor

 

[ORRFForever]

The Swiss certainly are not intimidated by the Russians.

How did this team lose to the Czechs?

 

[Lays]

Kravtsov’s so slick

 

[Hennessy]

That's offside. Shouldn't count.

Why wasn't that challenged?

Does the IIHF even have a challenge for that?
