The inevitable...it was only time before it happened unfortauntely, and thats no downer to the Swiss, they deserve the game...the ref would never let the upset happen.

despite the ref's effort it hasn't helped the czechs yet.

Swiss is goin on the PP now

 

[GuloGulo]

Swiss still playing for the win! Wonderful to see!
Once they get out off the PK circus they are completely on pace with the Czechs. Their transition and passing is _good_.

Edit: the ice is still not so good in that venue... you saw how the puck just stopped in the corner and let to the turnover?

 

[Hemsky4PM]

Is there anywhere on-line to get a blow by blow account of this game...or at least good scoring updates?

 

[Kaizer]

3-2 Switzerland

 

[TheRedressor]

[DevilsFan38]

Swiss score on the PP. I've been impressed with them.

 

[GKJ]

Bob Gainey is shaking his head right now. Streit never has a laser like that for the Habs

 

[mikkoz]

Czechs making me eat my words, and I don't think Vokoun allowing goals like that is going to cut it in the finals.

 

[Jori]

How much time left?

 

[GKJ]

How much time left?

like 13 minutes.




This Swiss need this game more than the Czechs, the Czechs will still be #1 in the pool if they beat Canada, whereas if the Swiss win, a tie vs. Germany will suffice because everyone is going to beat Italy.

 

[RuuhkaTukka]

6 minutes to go. Aebischer is playing great. Gotta love the Swiss. They fight so hard!

GO SWISS GO!

Here's an Elias update for those who want more than the commentators to notice three full periods after Patrik stopped playing that he was missing.

It's from a Czech source at Hockey Rodent via njdevs.com forums:

It is actually a rib injury, it does not sound too serious.

In 1st period he blocked the shot and then he was crosschecked. I apologize but I have no idea what the proper vocabularies are. It is very complicated to describe these things in English.

The muscle between Patrik's ribcages is sprained. Doctors ordered one day of rest for Patty. Patrik said that he felt same today as he did yesterday after the game. It means that the pain is not bigger but it is not better.

He should play next game. Even if he miss next game his injury is not serious. NJ fans can be calm.

The teams to beat in this tournament:
Russia...well Slovakia already beat them
Finland...always underrated and should be in the gold medal game to lose to Russia
Sweden...always strong, until someone tells them they could go home next game...then they like the idea of returning to the Swedish chicks

 

[Hemsky4PM]

The Czechs could miss out on the medal round if they lose this game. Wow.

Usually you'll the powerhouse in a few days when it's elimination games. I never count the Czechs out until they are in fact out of the tournament for real.
