I am perfectly aware of it, even wrote a paper on this I just wrote the two perspectives, because it's funny how people are often arguing with no end about some particular topic, being on opposite side of camps

 

[mosare]

nope, the swiss plays ok! but it's always the same vs latvia! they have much more score chances than the latvia, but somehow they can not score against Masalskis, lol!!!

 

[ozo]

They are ok but their PP is terrible.

Yep. Nothing shows lack of hockey sense better than constant attempts of setting up shot from blue line when you are on 5 on 3 PP. Add to that no net presence and static perimeter play and you have delicious recipe of an awful PP.

 

[ellja3]

Skatoties, kā mūsējie realizē vairākumus 5:3, nāk prātā tie vīri, kas centās ar gāzi uzspert gaisā bankomātu, bet paši uzgāja gaisā apmēram kilometra attālumā no ieņemamā bankomāta.

Perfect quote from Latvian comment section

"Watching our 5on3 PP execution reminds me of the men who tried to blow up an ATM with gas, but blew themselves up approx 1km from the desired aim.

 

[Reynys]

Swiss somehow seems desperate, but lack aggressiveness in front of a net. If they crash the net harder, Masaļskis won't be their problem as there are plenty of rebounds with all those shots low.

That would make them more vulnerable to counterattacks tho

I think it would take complete Swiss defensive breakdown, for us to have good counterattack, as on counterattacks, we are somewhat too hesitant and tend to pass chances by... at least so far.

Nino!!!

 

[swissexpert]

Finally! Now go for a 2nd, no relaxing allowed

 

[bolt thrower]

Niederreiter is by far the best player on this team. Andrighetto isn't bad either.

 

[GX]

About time. Hopefully this will shake up Latvians.

 

[ellja3]

Nice, LV on self-destructive mode

 

[GX]

'We will give a chance to A.Sirokovs' /LV coaching staff pre-game/

Sure, there's no way it could have gone wrong..

 

[bolt thrower]

Niederreiter is on fire

Weather forecast: strong presence of El Niño in Moscow

I actually laughed when I read that.

 

[ozo]

We are again reaching levels of last year bad. Apathy, undisciplined play and total inability to score.

 

[stv11]

This should be a goal but after the call on Mozyakin the other day I'm not sure.

Mozyakins ''kick'' was even less obvious

 

[mosare]

3:0 switzerland! well deserved - they are better, but in the past they didn't have much luck.

 

[stv11]

Mozyakins ''kick'' was even less obvious

Definitely, I have no idea why that goal was called off.

 

[SwissGrog]

Hofmann! good for him

 

[The Noot]

That counts? ok

I mean, I'll take it but I wouldn't have decided this way. I guess.

 

[Reynys]

if we do not score today I hope all of our lines are FINALLY reassembled.

Zero consistency in reffing, suprise surprise Not sure why I wanted IIHF to be better, if even NHL can't get their **** together
