Russia vs Swiss 6:2. SUI exhausted to much energy vs SWE and the games before. Russia has no sense of humor in this WHC.

No way this awesome Swiss team loses 2 in a row... calling the huge upset and Swiss win 3-2. Not because I think Russia is worse but because this Swiss team is of a 'Top 5'calibre and I can't see them losing 2 in a row.

Will be a very interesting game once again. Both teams played yesterday but I believe both ale in such physical condition that it will not affect the game too much. I expect not so crazy pace like in the SWE - SUI game, this one will be more about Russian puck possession vs. Swiss counterattacks.
 
I feel like Switzerland went kinda all-in to beat Sweden, so no luck tonight. Might get their "upset" against Czechia on Tuesday instead. They'll be a handful for all the playoff teams in the other group.

I’m sure they dont have fuel left in tank, they will try but after they allow goal or two, they will concentrate on match against us, where their odds are better anyway.
 
Sweden vs Swiss was an amazing game, Lundqvist looked like he was in his prime... the Swiss are no joke, should be a good competitive game
 
New offensive lines for Switzerland

Fiala - Hischier - Moser
Ambühl - Kurashev - Andrighetto
Hofmann or Rod - Haas - Martschini
Praplan - Bertschy - Scherwey

Genoni in the net.
 
Georgiev in net, Russian chose to rest their main goalie, they probably dont think it will be too hard against Swiss today :laugh:
Prove them wrong.!
