Is there any chance Nino can still make it to this team?

If Carolina get swept.

 

[torero]

They are not shooting ... to score ... you have to shoot !! (most of the goals come by shooting ... !!)

 

[SoundAndFury]

Well yeah, Austria is no Italy. Other than that, only a matter of time Suiss brake through.

 

[matsqq]

The goalies name is Bingo-Berra

 

[Phil McKraken]

Austria can't afford to waste a 4 min PP if they want to get away with a point tonight.

 

[jonas2244]

That's a beauty. Great work by Praplan, also.

 

[SoundAndFury]

And the flood gates are open.

 

[The Noot]

Nico is amazing. What else is there to know?

That borderline missed tripping call now stings twice as much, I'd suppose.

 

[jibbz]

why are the refs at this tournament always so bad?

 

[SoundAndFury]

why are the refs at this tournament always so bad?

Why do people complain every year?

 

[stv11]

Good period from Switzerland's point of view, more chances created and a deserved lead. But it also showed this team's main weaknesses, not much presence in the slot and poor PP despite the new units.

 

[jibbz]

Why do people complain every year?

because they're terrible every year? what do you want the fans to do, just accept the refereeing sucks?

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Nico lighting it up this WC. Loving every second of my Swiss Savior this tournament

 

[SoundAndFury]

Pretty much. Or at least whine when they really f*** it up rather than some 50/50 call which didn't go your way.

So are we.

ok 1. that was not a 50/50 call lol
2. which way? I'm neither Swiss nor Austrian, I just wanna see some good hockey without refs influencing the result with their incompetence

But it happens in every league, at every level. Everyone is up in arms about the refs and the non-call today was basically a non-issue. Lets not act it ruined the game or anything.

 

[torero]

that can't be serious .... you shooooot when the goal is open in front of you.

 

[jonas2244]

Now Switzerland is really dominant, but should bury one.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Switzerland, again, like every year, has pretty hard time scoring. Despite their roster getting better and better.
