New poll series coming from me in June
Canada wins 3-1. It's a relatively easy match but it's not what I'd call a bye. The Swiss are a tough team.
For Canada, this is like having a bye into the Gold Medal game. Cinderella Switzerland is about to have her bubble burst. We have seen this so many times before - a team carries out a highly improbable upset by playing way beyond the limits their talent and depth impose on them, with massive amounts of adrenaline flooding the arena, only to come out the next game and fall behind 6-0 at the end of the 1st period. They realize that their moment of greatness is over, and that it is time to go back to reality. It is a huge break for Canada to have an easy path to the Gold Medal game - almost as huge a break as that tiny little penalty call in overtime against Russia!
They've won 2 of the last 3 and 3 of the last 6. Definitely a dangerous team for Canada.Hmm they won the last 2 games vs canada (championship) as far as i know.
When Finland beat USA to take the top spot in the group, it was like having a bye into the semifinal.For Canada, this is like having a bye into the Gold Medal game
Any update on Berra?
Everybody is talking about Canadien goalie, but you have seen a switzerland goalies? I could tell you that there is no glory too.
Barzal recieved few shifts in the Russia game and he won't get many today, you can tell Peters does not trust him.swiss will forcheck the crap out of canada.
swiss defenders must be physical on mcdavid and barzal
Canada is used to putting up great performances when things matter most: that's why they're the best hockey nation in the world. So, I really don't think that Canada will be denied the finals. My heart is for Switzerland, but my money says Canada.
