GDT: Quarterfinal - May 23 - Canada vs Switzerland

[Star Ocean]

What a joy.

Maybe not, but atleast we dont get to hear how worthless whc is.

 

[JackSlater]

Sounds like I was unlucky to miss the third period (and subsequent overtime) but it sounds worthy of a rewatch. Through two periods the teams looked pretty even. Sounds like a very tough way for Switzerland to go out.

What a joy.

It is indeed!!!

 

[Star Ocean]

Canada has never been unlucky. Who scores at 59.6?

 

[Maraz]

You guys are true warriors.
I feel bad for Swiss as I felt bad for our team, but you have to fight until it's 0,00 on the clock and you clearly did in every single game, so you deserve to be where you are.
GL and greetings from Slovakia.

 

[matsqq]

Same thing is always done with Euro fans with any world cup/Canada cup..........refs, home ice, doesnt mean all that much,etc.

Unless they win it of course.

 

[REM17]

They were clearly the worse team.

Yeah right, that's why the game went to OT

 

[NyQuil]

Exactly. Dubois did everything.

Micro-game winning goal, am I right?

Fleury world juniors, circa 2004.


We have experienced bad breaks plenty.

Most nhl goals are scored in last min of the game.

 

[Star Ocean]

My bad. I meant at 19.59.6

 

[joey16]

I feel so bad for the Swiss, this must be tough to swallow.
But I really believe and hope that this generation around Josi, Niederreiter, Hischier, Fiala etc will eventually win the very first gold medal for Switzerland in the near future. They would deserve it.

 

[ModryJazyk]

maybe, if ENG are included.
Aa neutral fan I feel bad for Swiss fans but someone still has to beat Russia and Canada is good at it

Not true.

Whc is a tradition in sweden since 1960s..

Even if we lost today this tournament matters to swedes.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if they take it next year on home ice if more or less their entire NHL complement showed up.

 

[Gold Standard]

missed most of the game. buried in a mountain of work and deadlines up the wazoo. will definitely have to watch this later when I sneak away to the mancave.

Doobs and Stone. deadly. am glad that Mantha gets to play some more. and score more goals.

It is true, i have seen it on hf here loads of times.I've seen plenty of howling even about the W.J.C being in Canada so much.

But think as you wish.

This is not a thread to bring up any of that jazz anyway, it was a game thread about Switzerland vs Canada, just let the fans discuss the game, you can go to a more appropriate thread to discuss what Canadian fans think about the W.H.C. This is not the place.

 

[REM17]

Sweden play about the same as Switzerland this year, they can step up heavily though.

Not sure about that after seeing the 2nd period against the red machine.
IKEAs folded like a cheap tent

 

[Jaguar God]

Yeah Canada!!!!

I dont mind wjc in canada, we won gold in Calgary.

 

[REM17]

Swiss masters of chokers

I might remind you they play the finns in 30 mins...

 

[jj cale]

I dont mind wjc in canada, we won gold in Calgary.

Yeah I remember that, the one where all the Canadian crowd was pro Sweden in the gold medal game right?

Remember that one well. Fat chance having that favour returned by you guys, but hey................we are just swell folks after all.

 

[NyQuil]

Well, the IIHF agrees with you because it makes so much money in Canada.

The WHC not so much.
