A must win! We always struggle against weak teams but this one should be 5-0 to get this WC going for Switzerland. Yet I do have to say that I'm a bit skeptical about the Loeffel-Genazzi pairing on D and I feel like Hiller will have to be strong between the pipes if we want to make it to the 1/4 finals.

 

[tade]

What's going on.

4-0 for Switzerland, I am watching the other game. Did not expect Slovenia to be this bad. Is anyone even watching here, lol.

Looks like it's going to surpass that before we get out of the 1st.

 

[The Noot]

Slovenia is falling apart already

 

[stv11]

Switzerland playing with a lot of pace with all four lines and Slovenia doesn't have enough depth to keep up. Goaltending didn't help either, Kroselj didn't look good on the first two goals.

 

[jonas2244]

Hm, I wanted to keep Parplan out of the lineup.

Two great plays by him, the assist on the Haas goal and on the Loeffel goals he gets an assist and then screens the goalkeeper in the right moment.

 

[Jon Riley]

The Haas line just clicks perfectly

 

[stv11]

These commercial breaks are so annoying...

 

[stv11]

Good pressure again, but some sloppy play as well.

Untersander didn't look good on the goal. Let a Slovenian player past him, then pass the puck straight to another and doesn't cover the goal scorer.

 

[jonas2244]

Yes, but Untersander gets caught after a late change by Diaz and has no chance to build up enough speed.

 

[WeberStreit]

4-2. Now it's getting close again.

 

[stv11]

What a stupid penalty by Almond. You're a forward on the PK, why chase your opponent in the corner?

 

[The Noot]

lmao, they are finding a way to lose this

 

[stv11]

There it is...

 

[The Noot]

ayyy lmao

 

[TopT]

Lol 4:4

 

[cave troll]

What a game by Slovenia.
Come on. Score the 5th.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Lol, another Anaheim - Edmonton game. Not that epic meltdown, but pretty epic anyway.

 

[stv11]

Terrible officiating...

 

[cave troll]

Yeees. PP Slovenia in last 2 minutes.

edit. clear diving

 

[TopT]

the Swiss want to lose this, he he

 

[The Noot]

Let's go Slovenia

Keep the streak of horrid 1st game performances of Switzerland alive

 

[totozenerd]

Furrer is such a mong holy crap... I'd rather be from Liechtenstein, I wouldn't have any expectations to be deceived.

 

[TopT]

Terrible officiating...

really ? I think all the calls were quite clear
