PGT: Game 7: Switzerland 2 - Canada 3

[snipes]

O Canada

 

[Jozay]

How was Scott?

 

[JackSlater]

Not very positive for Canada. Embarrassing dive by Comtois at the end. Horrible looking powerplay. Not looking forward to seeing Phillips or Hunter's "wingers take faceoffs" strategy against stronger teams.

 

[Alerion]

Was this close enough for the “don’t play hard” for a full 60 minutes crowd that appeared after the Denmark game?

Everyone told me they played hard against Denmark for 60 minutes so this wouldn't happen...it did anyway.

 

[Hagstrom]

Which more than likely leads to an icing or a turnover. They were scrambling.

Fair

 

[The Kessel Run]

Some real sour pusses winning POTG

 

[MXD]

Gotta give the Swiss credit.....they made a game out of this

Giving Swiss Credit...
Well played.

 

[NinjaKick]

Canada coming off a 14-0 win and finish this game with a close 3-2 win... The Swiss deserve an immense amount of credit, they showed a ton of heart tonight and I have no doubt that they'll have a very bright future

 

[TheBeastCoast]

If we play like this against Russia......not gonna be pretty

Russia wasn't overly impressive today either. Everyone needs to just chill out and see where the team is come the quarters.

I'm not thrilled that Canada's captain is diving, not a very good showing for the team there.

Russian influence.

 

[BigBadBoar]

This was a thrilling game. I enjoyed this very much. The final minutes were just breathtaking, the Swiss pushed tremendously at the very end. It must taste a little bit bitter for them, that they played two very good games and have only one point.

Sounds like you still have hurt feelings and have not moved on

 

[SabresSharks]

Denmark seems to be Russia’s kryptonite though.....I can’t explain it

Russia just goes through the motions first game. It's like a tradition.

No obvious favorite in this tourney from what I've seen so far.

 

[allrevvedup25]

What did Lafreniere do to get benched halfway through the 2nd period?

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Is that Rick DiPietro son playing for Team Canada?

It’s Rick himself. He had his consciousness implanted into a new, more durable body. He’s going to take another run at having a career in pro hockey.

 

[Knies iT]

Burrows, Roussel, Paquette, Perron, etc.

What's the common denominator? Comtois will be the next elite diver at this rate.

 

[Galactico]

Is he still playing on that same 15 year contract tho?

 

[Zybalto]

Swiss solid again but come up short.

Wonder what "lucky" favorite is gonna meet up with them in the quarters? Better than the Slovaks this year?

 

[1909]

3-2.... I got it right.

 

[Auston Marlander]

Everyone told me they played hard against Denmark for 60 minutes so this wouldn't happen...it did anyway.

They didn't play hard for 60 against Denmark...

 

[SabresSharks]

lol what? This isn't NHL 19. It's a great play.

Great play if you're, you know, trying to win the game. Strange post that one.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

I thought Lafrenier was disappointing. Not driving play the way i expected.

Suzuki played a good game until the idiotic penalty. Really unnecessary play at that point in the game. Kid will learn.
Brook and Dobson were Canada's best D in my opinion.

The PP has to get going. Really static in the puck movement and telegraphing plays. Need some creativity.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Also, credit to the Swiss. They played hard all game. Kurashev was the player of the game from both sides.

Not make it 4-1
