[Khokhlach86]

Genoni confirm, he's starter today

 

[swisdan]

Kukan injured

 

[The Noot]

Wrong flag.

Let's hope for the swiss to actually show up this time.

 

[Belizarius]

That's what we can call a must win game for both teams.
Should be exciting. French were a little mad after yesterday loss and I expect some revenge time for them (like last year after the loss to Italy, they came back to beat Slovakia in fashion).

 

[Richi]

Those bad sneaky germans. Taking over our nation on a Saturday night when we´re all drunk...

 

[SniperHF]

[Richi]

And we got it back. Thank you Swiss Army!

 

[doug88]

We'd better win! Hopefully Scherwey will get decent ice time to wake this team up, he fights for every puck, that's the kind of player we lack. I'm more confident with Genoni in, he should be able to shut out this french team!

 

[Hagstrom]

Two teams with some pressure on them after somewhat under performing in their opening game, will be an interesting game to keep an eye on

 

[aonb]

any words on Fiala?

 

[Systemfel]

Blum steps in to play with Streit for Switzerland. Helbling is with Grossmann.

 

[The Noot]

Blum steps in to play with Streit for Switzerland. Helbling is with Grossmann.

That pairing

 

[swisdan]

any words on Fiala?

Again Austria, he was good in first period. But very inconstant in the next two. 18 years and jetlag can explain.

 

[letsgocaps]

Hanlon sounds like a nice guy...

 

[The Noot]

Yes, keep taking penalties

 

[ellja3]

Just curious, do you agree with this 5+20 call?

 

[letsgocaps]

Da Costa and S.Treille out, great start for France.

 

[The Noot]

Just curious, do you agree with this 5+20 call?

Definitely not. That clearly was an accident. 2 mins would have been enough imo.

 

[Exarz]

Does someone know the "whistle song" played when a penalty gets called? Is it a theme song from some show?

 

[exoque]

Just curious, do you agree with this 5+20 call?

Nope. Don't think that was intentional.

WTF is going on...

 

[ellja3]

Definitely not. That clearly was an accident. 2 mins would have been enough imo.

I watched several replays and for sure there was no way the FRA player could know Swiss is coming.

And now SUI scores. Nice.

 

[Richi]

Just curious, do you agree with this 5+20 call?

Not even sure it´s worth 2 min...

 

[The Noot]

not gonna complain

 

[ellja3]

OK, how many players will be left for FRA till end of this period!?
