Completely out of the loop on this year's roster, so is Canada really this good? Or are the Czechs and Swiss just that bad?
We won't really know until they play Finland on the 26th but they have played 2 really clean well played game. I don't really see any reason why this kind of hockey wouldn't translate to the real games. Been impressive.

I'll reserve final judgement until boxing day against the Finns but they don't not look good...
 
51 to 7 shots....

Questions I have after witnessing this slaughter...

Did the Swiss just get off a plane from Europe ?

Did the Swiss Hockey Federation agree to this game just for the money and not really take this game seriously ?

I don't wish to be scathing on the Swiss kids... because this is the worst I have seen in many years from their country and I don't like it....

They certainly haven't done much. I do think this is a down year for them, but I mostly believe it's just a case of how good Canada looks at the moment. Bring on the tournament!
 
Canada tore Switzerland apart in a brutal way. I can't believe how far apart these teams are

For Swiss hockey fans sake I really can empathize their feelings...

Worst I have ever seen them.... not good...

I have enjoyed their emergence in previous years as tough and pesky opponents... I hope this is an aberration...
 
Even the Canada discipline looks good. Swiss tried to draw them into shit and they just turn and skate away. Didn't take a single penalty tonight.
 
Well, can't really find any flaws. I hope that Canada keeps it up. They must have outshot Switzerland 8:1. TSN said that Switzerland had no shots for the last 30 minutes or so.
 
I mean at some point we are going to have to play in our own end and Foote has been great in both games....So not quite sure why he should be off the team for Mahura? I don't think we are short on offense from the blue line.

NA ice surfaces...

Bigger, more physically assertive teams are soon to come...

Foote is a pancea to these scenarios...
