GDT: May 17 • Switzerland 6, Kazakhstan 2

[Richi]

second very, very, very weak call vs. switzerland.

Actually it was a correct call, Ambühl (tried to) checked a player who wasn´t in possession of the puck -> interference. Normally however something minor like this doesn´t get called but if the refs continue calling it like that on both sides, I´m ok with it.

 

[stv11]

I can agree with the call too, but there should have been an elbowing penalty going the other way.

 

[airbus1094]

At least we might be 1st in team penalty minutes!

That's what I meant, either you call both or nothing.

 

[jonas2244]

Ugly check by Antropov.

 

[airbus1094]

Pfft, is this the way to support your team and guys? Go Kazakhstan! Go!!! Let's hope in a miracle

I've seen enough of this so called "team" try to play so called "hockey". They have been an embarrassment this whole tournament.

 

[stv11]

Dirty play, hopefully Romy will be fine. Now let's use the powerplay to finish this game.

 

[FinPanda]

Ugly..

 

[jonas2244]

Huge defensive play by Seger.

 

[stv11]

Average second period, but it was enough to add two goals.

Now let's wait for some update on Romy.

 

[stv11]

Romy will be taken to the hospital after the game. Unlikely to play on Tuesday.

 

[jonas2244]

Wow.

 

[Namejs]

Missed most of the game - what on Earth happened here?

Looks like Switzerland is still in the battle for that last spot in the play-offs.

BLR 9
LAT 9
USA 8
FIN 8

[stv11]

Solid game, but those two goals against could have been avoided. What a goal by Blum!

Anyway, good to get some confidence before the last game, hopefully the other results help us.

 

[doug88]

Easy win, Antropov is a dick and Kazakhstan gets relegated, they don't belong here.

That is harsh ... and not very classy.

You are probably close to Romy ... which explains your resentment.
Sorry for that. I like Romy too. (although i do not know him personally)

We have 7 points with one more game ... it will be very very difficult.

Fin or USA, one of them needs to loose to Kazakhstan or Germany + loose the other game between them (USA - FIN) essentially one of them needs to score 0 points.
AND
we need to win our game agains Latvia ... of course in 3 periods
AND
one of Latvia or Bielorussia has to mark 0 points in the comming 2 games.

many AND's !! ... i feel like it could be the END !??

There's about a 10% chance (based on odds provided by bookmakers) you will make the play-offs, which is not that far-fetched.
