GDT: Group A - May 17 - Czech Republic (5) vs Switzerland (4)

[The Noot]

Looks like Krüger aera hockey... Totally dominated... But somehow we're leading...

Don't even dare to mention it

 

[Hemsky001]

The danger for the danish supporters is that the czechs might settle for a loss, bet they rather face germany then USA, they might prefer to lose.

loss is not the best way to prepare ourselves for a quarterfinal.. USA is pretty beatable this year anyway

 

[The Noot]

Oh, look. Du Bois takes another penalty.

Quelle surprise!

 

[mosare]

what a weak call against the swiss..us usual the whole tournament! lol

 

[Booster*]

No, that's not true.

So, you rather face USA? Czechs seems to always struggle vs NA opponents.

 

[Hemsky001]

yeeeah! we're back

 

[tade]

Kempny!!!! Great PP!

 

[saintflannel]

Birner gets credit. Off the toe of his skate.

 

[swissexpert]

Oh, look. Du Bois takes another penalty.

Quelle surprise!

Is this non-contact hockey or what? What a weak call.. again

Du Bois had a horrible Sweden game but this one is laughable. Should just quit playing hockey if that's not allowed

 

[duga]

Would you please win a face-off once in a while and stop just standing around, worst period since the second against Norway...

 

[tade]

So, you rather face USA? Czechs seems to always struggle vs NA opponents.

I don't care. We are more experienced team than the US, I would be confident against them but I am aware of their power and talent. From recent history, we won 2 QFs against US (4-0 and 4-3). We need to play as a winner of our group.

I will rather win the game before QF, and also if we win then we don't need to move to St. Petersburg.

 

[saintflannel]

The US isn't that good.

 

[The Noot]

That was absolutely pathetic.

One would imagine that the team with the second highest SOG in the entire tournament might show some more effort when they're in a do or die situation like that.

 

[duga]

Don't even dare to mention it

They can't keep a lead whether you mention it or not...

After that horrific period, are they changing the pattern and play an unusually strong second?

 

[Lumipanda]

It's a rare day when I root for Czech Republic - but today is one of those! For no other reason but getting Denmark to QF.

 

[duga]

Move your legs! Use your body!

 

[saintflannel]

What a great chance for Andrighetto. Ping.

 

[Hemsky001]

Kaspar!!! the best possible man to do the job

 

[saintflannel]

Beautiful penalty shot goal.

 

[duga]

Unbeliveable. They win an offensiv face-off and end up with a goal against...
They are so sleepy.

 

[Hemsky001]

Kempny failed again

 

[Urbanskog]

The danger for the danish supporters is that the czechs might settle for a loss, bet they rather face germany then USA, they might prefer to lose.

The US (if they even manage to advance) is hardly better than Germany.

 

[The Noot]

They can't keep a lead whether you mention it or not...

After that horrific period, are they changing the pattern and play an unusually strong second?

Does that count as a no? I think that counts as a no.

 

[duga]

Does that count as a no? I think that counts as a no.

Looks like.

And having no 13th forward with fresh legs is another minus.
Second half of the PP didn't look bad though.

It's getting tougher and tougher to advance.

 

[duga]

Finally they start moving their legs.

The Czechs are strong though, you can see, they won a lot lately. Smart and determined.
