Swiss should be a bit spent, having been in a tough OT game today. Looking for an offensive outburst from the US.

 

[admire]

Please win US...Pretty please.

 

[1Gold Standard]

It's good to have a day off from a Team Canada GDT. It will be a stress free day today.

Looking for a big game from Matthews.

 

[BobDobolina]

I'll be going to this one.

Maybe I'll see the US team score a goal this time!

 

[Eye of Ra]

The swiss coach looks like Lex Luthor. Such a badass.

 

[JJTT]

Yep

 

[BlitzSnipe]

The North America killers are back .

 

[Get North]

I think the Swiss will come out hard in an attempt to make the QFs. U.S win though, maybe OT/SO.

 

[Scotty B]

Swiss looked really gassed in 3rd , yesterday. They were brutal in second of back to back games vs Danes, and will have no legs to seriously challenge the Yanks. If Yanks keep tempo up and roll their lines, Swiss will wilt and Yanks will win going away.

Realistically, Swiss ONE and ONLY chance to make QF's was to beat Canada in REGULATION. They're off to the relegation round and Yanks will make that painfully clear to them...early and often...

 

[Putt Pirate]

Jinx!

 

[Systemfel]

White moves to the top line.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Please win US...Pretty please.

Swiss could beat USA, and then you could beat USA, and then you guys send the USA down to face Belarus

 

[Falling Snow]

Please win US...Pretty please.

Don't worry it will be a easy US win

 

[TheGroceryStick]

I feel a shellacking at the hands of the States.
Think the Swiss were playing their do or die yesterday, and the legs will be heavier than ever. I really liked the way they played against Canada; I just have a feeling they wont be able to keep the same tempo on the 2nd night.

My assumption; there will be a fair share of penalties, because of tired legs and extra stick work/interference.

 

[hockey17jp]

The Swiss have got to be super tired today after the Canada game yesterday. Hopefully the US takes advantage early.

 

[Super Cake]

Go White Go!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kwickly]

Is there any legal stream that I can use to watch this game? Does tsn.ca stream it? Would I need to live in Canada to use their stream if so?

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Hoping for a big game from Schmaltz

 

[crashnburnluder]

How can I watch or listen to this game at work???

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

Hearing this NHL-N guy that Ryan ****ing Hitchcock might have the highest hockey IQ on the team makes me want to ****ing vomit.

 

[Castrophy]

Matthews showing some flashes of brilliance. You'd like him to bury that one though.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

This is going to be a blowout.


The Swiss are probably extremely tired from yesterday's game. 8-2 for USA

 

[jdatb]

Woo! Dvorak! PS. Matthews sister looks nice

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Nice to hear some Chelsea Dagger there
