GDT: Semifinal - May 19 - Canada vs Switzerland

[Dueling Banjos]

Goalie won it for them.

You mean both goalies

But seriously, well done Switzerland.

 

[Mehar]

I know people want to blame Kuemper, but too many forwards on Canada's team did not get the job
done. Hopefully this is the last time we see this coaching staff and management team in an international
tournament. Congrats to Switzerland.

 

[Kimota]

The Swiss' anthem should talk about the Great Army.

 

[Dominance]

I am not joking, as you yourself said.....we were moonwalking for much of the game and they took complete advantage as better teams do.

They deserved to win, we didn't.

if we did..................we would be playing sweden.

we aren't, they are.

Oh yes, they damn well deserved to win. The Swiss are fun to watch and it’s amazing how quickly they are improving with such a relatively small population.

 

[NyQuil]

Getting outshot by a factor of more than 2 and probably having less than 33% possession cannot possibly constitute being the better team to any rational being.

I can't imagine being the better team having scored fewer goals than the opposition in a game where the winning team is decided by the number of goals that is scored.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

so who wins between Canada and the USA for the bronze medal game?

Would be pretty confident in saying that Canada takes it, USA have had problems getting fired up for that particular game year in year out

 

[King 88]

Lets go suisse revenge from 2013!

 

[John Agar]

so who wins between Canada and the USA for the bronze medal game?

The least hungover team...

A toss up (excuse my pun)....

 

[A91]

That was some of the absolute worst coaching I have ever seen. Hopefully he brings this same coaching to Calgary.

 

[EK47]

Is it finally time to call it the big seven? Or I don’t know how many finals have Slovakia been in?

 

[oXo Cube]

Not much to say really. Good game Switzerland.

Canada needed Kuemper to make a save.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Another unimpressive gold for Sweden

sweden do not play fancy hockey, when will people like you learn that? sweden finds a way to win. sweden won all games so far, its not by chance.

 

[La Masse]

parayko doesn't make TC LOL

Thats why I said possibly

 

[Mikeshane]

Good for the Swiss though, They've been doing great.

 

[Kyndig]

Always enjoy USA vs CAN...was hoping for it to be for gold and not bronze. Oh well.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

The Swiss pulled a Golden Knights.

Should of played McElhinney.

Banned. Peters

 

[NyQuil]

Is it finally time to call it the big seven?

I think they need a few more medals.

 

[A91]

McDavid and RNH what a tremendous success.

Bashing them for being the best players on the team? Ok?

 

[Dominance]

I can't imagine being the better team having scored fewer goals than the opposition in a game where the winning team is decided by the number of goals that is scored.

You can’t really believe this. No one can. Better teams lose games all the time, but they’re still better, and everyone talks about such events as such.

 

[Blue prez]

Canada doesn't have a team play, only throwing some pucks to the net plus McDavid, minus goalie. It renounces team's overall skill level.
I actually bet on Swiss team before the game, in my local poker room, it's my first bet ever! Coef. 4,5 has been far too big)

 

[Chimpradamus]

Huge congrats Switzerland! They did anything to win at the end. They would've taken the puck to the face if necessary.

 

[Roof Daddy]

Congrats to the Swiss. They needed their goalie to have the game of his life and he came through.

Us on the other hand, I would have felt more confident with an ice cream sandwich playing goal.

Good luck against the Swedes, you're gonna need it.

 

[syz]

Can USA/Canada play on small ice so that at least one game at this tournament could be entertaining?

 

[NyQuil]

You can’t really believe this. No one can. Better teams lose games all the time, but they’re still better, and everyone talks about such events as such.

Who cares who the "better" team is?

They don't hand out medals based on shots on net or possession.

The better team is the team that wins the game.

9 times out of 10, maybe Canada is the better team. But not today.

 

[Nick Hansen]

Too bad.

Was looking forward to humiliate Canada in the final but oh well, Switzerland will do.
