I think it will be a close game.
Switzerland are real good.

 

[Tomas W]

Were is Burra and Ekholm? At least Burakovsky will play, according to tabloids.

 

[jonas2244]

Martschini in for Haas. Diaz still not ready to play.

 

[Pandaman11]

Well... go for 3 points or go home.

 

[Eye of Ra]

2 teams that are close on paper.

but swiss have play better than sweden in this tournament and they have a better coach.

win in ot for swiss.

LMAO

 

[Eye of Ra]

Correct lines.

 

[Nordic*]

Rosén, Ritola etc.. So many Mediocre players on our national team.

If they can't get any better to accept the invitation, call in some juniors just to give them experience.

No team with these slow and lacadasical gnomes will ever medal anyway.


And don't expect much from Burakowsky, third/fourth liner who was a healthy scrath for half the year.

Arvidsson showed a lot in the playoffs, would rather have had him here with his speed and tenacity.

 

[Eye of Ra]

The player i am most disappointed with is Sundström. I expected big things from him. Time to step up.

 

[weklof]

Nygren starts the game with a stupid penalty. The team will be so much stronger w him in the stands

 

[doug88]

Even though the goal is waved off, Berra is such a random goalie. Boy did he look awful on that play!

 

[Nordic*]

Nygren, Fantenberg, Fransson...

How the hell did they get a spot, we must litetally have 30 defencemen who are considerably better.

 

[mosare]

the swiss are the better team......until now,at least!

 

[EK47]

can someone put a fist to the face of the ****ing kid screaming shaybo all the time it's REALLY annoying

 

[mosare]

andrighetto...this guy has really great hands!!!

 

[ManicTouch]

nice shot by ghetto. and these yells are driving me insane!!

 

[EK47]

this team is ****ing sorry

 

[aphyro]

Anyone that is surprised?

 

[Inkling]

What is 'shaibu'??? Is that one of the countries names in Russian, or it is some guerilla marketing campaign?

 

[kary]

the Swedes look half dead, slow no will to fight for it

 

[kary]

What is 'shaibu'??? Is that one of the countries names in Russian, or it is some guerilla marketing campaign?

it means goal, they want to se a goal...

 

[mosare]

well deserved for the swiss

 

[jonas2244]

Shots 12-6 Switzerland, well deserved lead, could (or should) be 2-0.

And Andrighetto is a beast, no question he's nhl-calibre.

 

[Inkling]

it means goal, they want to se a goal...

Ah, thank you! No less annoying, but now at least I know what it means.
