GDT: Group A - May 7 - Switzerland (2) vs Kazakhstan (3) SO

Shootout.

 

[Finnswiss]

This Swiss game reminds me a litte bit the games of the Finnish team in earlier years, they need too many scoring chances to score, but
Kolesnik played very well too!

 

[saintflannel]

Lol, Kolesnik.

 

[saintflannel]

Thought Bochenski would have shot third.

Final result Switzerland 2 Canada 3

 

[stv11]

Berra with his best David Aebischer impression during the shootout.

 

[Finnswiss]

Un unexpected loss for us, but the Swiss had also bad luck with the hits on the post, about 4 or 5 times!

We'll see Mayer tomorrow.

 

[The Noot]

I'm not sure why I'm even surprised at this point

 

[torero]

Berra is so frustrating.

HIs worst side

Maybe it is good to start with a loss

 

[mosare]

Swiss dominate, kasachstan win!!!!! Lol

 

[Pandaman11]

Usually it's hard to say something against goalies in a shootout in any sports, but, seriously, Reto Berra... no comment.

 

[XO]

That was the most laughable penalty shot I've ever seen

Swiss goalies

 

[Like Wall]

Damn it!

 

[ZT]

Dawes

 

[duga]

There goes the 2nd point.

Dawes laid Berra 2 times impressive!

They should have never lost this game. Never.

Are you? I'm not. This was a typical Switzerland-loss game. I'd rather expect them to beat Russia or Sweden. But they never dominate against the (formerly) "small" countries. Never.

Never dominate? 51 shots, four posts. It took bad luck and a one in a million goal to take that game to overtime.

Congrats to Team Kazakhstan from a fan of Team Russia! Great game. Our team is utter crap right now, so maybe we can root for you guys.

Perhaps if they quadruple their shooting%. Perhaps.

Martschini's? Then I suggest you spend the afternoon youtubeing laughable penalty shots. Here's a decent starting point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMdX_A2iLuM

Swiss goalies

Why goalies plural?

I meant in terms of the score, i.e. translating the dominance into goals, i.e. winning like 4-0 or 5-2.

I meant dominance on the scoreboard, sorry...

 

[saintflannel]

Big upset. Dawes was glorious in the shootout.

Yep. He owned up.

 

[torero]

We miss Brunner.
