I'm getting close to 'throw my computer against a wall' territory here. Less than 4 minutes left... Swiss are playing it perfect. Czechs are not.
 
3-3!

Scored with goalie pulled... looked like a very bad goal. Must've hit something on the way in... I'd say of the 6 goals scored so far.. 5 have been on the goalies.

OT time... not sure what the format is. Hate that we lost a point and maybe even more. I get Bednar is a 'player to watch' but it is not his day at all.

Henauer was pretty good between the 2nd and 3rd goal against though.
 
Higher skill level prevails finally.

Tough loss for the swiss.

Henauer's side-to-side agility was brutaly lacking in the shootouts.
 
Happy we won but that was awful... Bednar did not look good, Mysak didn't get any points, we looked very disorganized.

To advance we need to beat Finland tomorrow... something tells me that we are in a lot of trouble unless things really change. Some better goaltending and more accurate shooting could help alleviate that but our D looked really bad and I imagine the Finn's can't wait to dangle them out of their skates.
 
Watching this tournament only since 2015, but this was rather easily the worst perfomace by a Czech team so far. Very fortunate to still be in the tournament thanks to the Balaz's goal.

From a swiss perspective an overall surprisingly good game and unlucky result in the end, in the most likely only "winable" game in the group srage. Played with a lot of heart by them, somewhat compensating the deficit in skills and for once in skating as well.

This generation really suffers from the loss of Rochette and the development curve of Delemont. The clear and promising leaders 2 years ago. And they are too slow overall to skate away from their problems.

I expected a bit more from Knak and Reichle on the attack. But the forwards as a whole played a very solid game.

On defense, Chanton had a good game as had the 2 underagers Sidler and Streule. Delemont was solid at best.

Henauer had his ups and downs.

What about Mysak? How he played?
 
What exactly is the point of pairing Raty and Lambert with Roby Jarventie? The guy has hands of stone and hockey sense to match.

He wasn't good at all. The whole team was terrible, with only few, occasional, bright spots.

Honestly, if I was a scout watching the game.. I would've just left and gone to the pub. Nothing to see there.

Canada v Finland game about to be replayed here on TSN.

Sounds like we destroyed them, I’m interested to see how Byfield played and some of our D men.

Looks to be a really strong year for Canadian and Swedish players. Some strong Finns as well.

All in all, 2020 is shaping up to be the best draft since 2015.
