[AstrophysicalJet]

Have a bad feeling about this one...

Denmark always play horrible against the Swiss, Jr and Sr.

Im gonna say 7-3 Swiss.

 

[SoundAndFury]

With Denmark playing back-to-backs, easy win for Switzerland.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

5-2 sui

 

[zeropotentate]

This game is going to be tense, as a person cheering for Denmark to advance to the next round. It will be interesting to see how they respond from a tough loss yesterday. But the Swiss will probably come out strong today.

 

[AstrophysicalJet]

I think the Danes are mentally (after two leads going into OT by equalizers close to the end) and physically drained after playing a tough game yesterday.

The Swiss will want to bounce back from loosing 7-0 too the Ruskies even though outshooting them, and they have had a days rest.

I too think it will be an easy win for the Swiss. A Danish win would be a nice suprise though!

Even if they loose, I am hoping to see Denmark not get badly outshot like the last 3 games - That would be a + in my book, even if they should loose.

And from a viewing perspective as a Canadian and a Dane, A Den - Can game would just be boring as the Canadian in me, and humiliating as the Dane in me.

I think Denmark are better than Germany this year, even though anything can happen in hockey.

Yep, Denmark always seem to struggle against the Swiss.

+ the Swiss are just a better team, they're rested and the Danes aren't used to playing on this level day in and day out. They will implode, and Switzerland will cruise their way to an all too easy 6-1 victory courtesy of way too many Danish mistakes.

I hang my hopes for Danish survival on German suckage.

Aagaard and Eller needs to stop with the stupid penalties, and Ehlers (He has been good) needs to stop hogging the puck, or at least shoot more.

But yeah, an easy win for the Swiss today.

 

[The Noot]

Denmark has a respectable firepower, especially their first line is great

I don't expect an easy game

 

[doug88]

This game obviously won't be easy but we should get the W at the end.. Expecting a huge game from Fazzini.

 

[AstrophysicalJet]

Swiss guys, your humility is apreciated.. But you guys will take this with ease

One great line just isn't enough for anything! Especially when only this line seems to shoot the damn puck. We have no D, so you guys will have an easy time getting shots off. While you guys have a good D, except against Russia, where it seemed they under-performed.

 

[torero]

After Monday's Berezina (epic battle that ended up into a loss for the Swiss confederates)

I hope today's game ends up like the Battle of Morat (epic battle where the Swiss wiped out the duc de Bourgogne's soldiers, who were actually used during the war of 100 yrs between French's and Brits)

Sui 6 - 2 Den

And Ehler should remember he grew up and trained on Swiss ground/ice ... so be quite !
(we fed him, he trained here ... he goes away ... and beats us ??? what is this mentality ... i say NO to this behavior of non-gratefulness !!)

Their was a black Tuesday on the stock market in 1929 ... well swiss hockey had a black monday ... 2 days ago.

and under performed is a gentle word and clustering this adjective to our D is also very kind. I guess the whole team had something to learn !

Fews swiss are posting today ...

Fews swiss are posting today ...

Why should we? The game starts in like 5 hours.

 

[admire]

Nucks - You are taking you pessimism to staggering new heights now! :p

Have some fighting spirit!


Waaaaaaar Denmark!!!!! Kill the bankers!(joking...relax)

 

[AllezLucerne]

I have a lot of respect for this danish team. But hopefully SUI will bounce back - 4:2

 

[Snippit]

Swiss stomp 5-1.

Maybe I should change my nick??

Seems like im the old fart down the street who always moans

Can't help myself...

 

[torero]

Why should we? The game starts in like 5 hours.

1) We Swiss are not big posters ...
2) most others come and post prognostics and brags, hommering and jocking during the day of the game.

So did we before the other Swiss games. I felt that, today, first game after our abysmal loss against Russia, Swiss posters were more shy !

let's eat some Danish meat ! (after cats at Christmas ;-) )

(i am joking as well as on the cats front for whoever came across this info that, we Swiss, eat cats at Christmas ... unbelievable what can go viral )

Friendly Rivalry

 

[Canada4Gold]

All I ask for is 1 point. The Swiss can spare 1 point for Denmark can't they? If the Czechs can take a point from Russia then far game, they can have it.

Actually, only getting 2 points may be better for the Swiss. Guarantees Sweden 1st place so they might not care about the game tomorrow so much so Swiss may be able to get points there. 5 > 3

Amazing chemistry they had , they should be on the same team
