[BlitzSnipe]

Somehow I feel that an upset is possible. But the Swedes should take this game, based on the quality of their playing.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Kempe must be better 5 on 5

 

[The Noot]

Is it weird that I kinda care more about the Russia - CR game than I do about this one?

 

[Bank]

Heja Sverige!!!

 

[chokei]

IMO it would need an incredible effort to take Sweden to OT, so it's the more important game for Switzerland as a positive outcome for the team is more likely to happen in that game.

5-2 Sweden.

 

[AstrophysicalJet]

Gooooo Sweden! Help your brothers !!!!

 

[PanniniClaus]

Descloux has been ok and nothing more. Is it fair to say they have zero confidence in Waeber? Has he not played in the NLA this year?

 

[m4tt145]

We will win im guessing 5-1.

 

[ulvvf]

Go Denmark.

Karlsson needs to step up, he do not deserve all that ice-time he is getting. By far the worsed forward so far. Where are all this energy he had last year?

In the last game, the JDLR line was by far the worst and was getting to much ice-time. Blindt and karlsson are not players that should get very much ice-time. I want to see other wingers to JDLR. Maybe 2 of Kempe, Brodecki and Bristedt?

 

[Phil McKraken]

They should give Ward a game here since the score is meaningless to us anyway.

That is a recipe for a loss.

 

[bigbadbruins7]

Hope swiss can take this. would like to see them into the next round. Also, this game is meaningless for Sweden standings wise so should be interesting to see how its goes

 

[torero]

I dream to see good goaltending, good chemistry behind, and efficiency in front resulting into Switzerland winning at least 1 point. And a game finishing at 9.30 CET ... since i have appointment at 10 for the new year.
i would step with the strength of a tiger in the new year if all of the above would happen. the later is not exclusively contingent to the earlier though !

 

[Joe Zanussi]

Any streams?

What team are you talking about? DLR's line is not supposed to score a bunch of goals. That line does great things defensively. Karlsson hasn't lost energy, he preserve it, making the best of it. Also, the third player on that line is named Anton Blidh

Ludovic Waeber to start for Switzerland. Phil Baltisberger dressed again.

 

[aphyro]

Gogo Sweden its gonna be a walk in a park this game!!! i dident even knew they could play hockey in Switzerland

 

[erderuft]

Not when there's 4 Days left to the quarter finals. Don't want your no 1 to get Cold. keep him in it, keep him focused. Plus, he prob got to chose if he wanted to play himself.

 

[torero]

Ludovic Waeber to start for Switzerland. Phil Baltisberger dressed again.

plenty of good news.

Smart by Fust to test Waeber in a game where odds are not in our favour.

 

[erderuft]

Half the World: "Switzerland vs Sweden? Isn't that the same country?"

 

[Czech Yourself Pal]

Linus Soderstrom reminds me a bit of Jakob Markstrom.

 

[Czech Yourself Pal]

Why does Sweden always wear their Yellow jerseys? The Blue ones are WAY nicer.

 

[aphyro]

Half the World: "Switzerland vs Sweden? Isn't that the same country?"

Isnt it only americans who thinks that?

 

[SwedenCanada]

Linus Soderstrom reminds me a bit of Jakob Markstrom.

I see him more of a calm goalie, not flashy like Markström.

Maybe like Henrik Karlsson.
