GDT: May 20 • Latvia 2, Switzerland 3

[King EK65]

Boo. Well, at least we won them in Sochi.. Still, this sucks for us.

 

[ThunderBuddy]

Team Choke returns. **** this ****.

 

[Canuckistani]

Too bad.

Would much rather Canada face Latvia than Finland.

 

[Periwinkle]

Thank you Switzerland

It seemed appropriate game went from 3-1 to 3-2 at the last minutes, and then players mucking up a clear EN goal. Very Finland-esque performance from Switzerland

 

[BobDobolina]

Too bad.

Latvia is better.

 

[Dima_BLR]

and finland is sloooooowly crawling from the group stage further. lucky fellows!

 

[EverybodyLovesRay]

LoL what a end to the game, that 2-0 was unbelievable

Thanks Switzerland!

 

[Urbanskog]

I feel bad for Latvia, it's not like they make it to the quarterfinals too often anyway.

 

[OscarsCards]

I am so happy that this international ice circus has ended for us

 

[stv11]

Yeah, Suri wanted to give Rüfenacht his first WC-goal. Speaks for the team, but could have been done better.

I don't want to jinx things two years in advance, but that missed ENG cost Switzerland 9th place in the tournament and 20 points in the IIHF ranking. In two years they will have been scaled down to 10.

Imagine missing direct qualification to the Olympics because of this

 

[ThunderBuddy]

Oh, well! I'm out of words. So frustrating. Enjoy our gift, fellow Finns! We served it right on a silver plate(with a bit of help from the refs).

 

[RobertR]

Yeah.. I guess great that i missed first period today, it seems we played like usual.

Our guys just can't finish, we got some lucky goals earlier, but in last two games, our offense has been terrible.

 

[BobDobolina]

Yeah, Suri wanted to give Rüfenacht his first WC-goal. Speaks for the team, but could have been done better.

That should have been an automatic goal for the Swiss as the player was obviously obstructed. Mystifying call by the referee.

 

[NicoSB]

That 2on0 was easily the most ridiculous way to finish this ****ed up tournament

 

[Dr Despair]

....

 

[Dr Despair]

Someone, please make a gif of this 2 on 0

This. Please someone make it happen.

 

[FinPanda]

Thank you Switzerland.

 

[OscarsCards]

just chill out guys meanwhile in Latvian dress room, DJ Guncha (#13) plays -



P.S. seems like there won't be party for us. I'm just too dumb to paste some yt link

 

[Like Wall]

I guess I should wish good fortune to Finland and our neighbour (that we almost cannot notice) Belarus!

 

[DrStrangelife]

Guess what?? Didn't watch this!! So happy I had lectures until 1800 and I was in no hurry to get back home either. Don't care one bit about this lose.
If we can't beat Belarus or Swiss we clearly have no place in the 1/4 finals. Good luck Finland.

Can't wait for the NHL draft and for the new NHL season to start. At least some proper hockey there.

playoffs are pretty good this year. why wait a new season when you can watch now.

[Malkin112*]

That's funny

 

[Canuckistani]

He totally Patrik Stefan'ed it.

Oh, I do watch them but for me Ice-hockey is one of the sports that seems SO much better when you have a good reason to cheer for 1(can be more) particular team. eg. Buffalo Sabre's. As a Girgs/Sabres fan, I want to see the draft and then to watch some of the new prospects develop on the big stage. Though probably the next season for Buffalo will be just as painful as the last. (At least there's hope for McDavid)

For PO watching I did pick the Blues to win... yeah that didn't work out either.

So right now, I don't really have a team that I prefer more than the other 3. But I still follow the PO. And Probably i won't miss a single game from the Finals.
