GDT: Slovakia - Switzerland 19 20 (CET)

[martygod12]

So contrary to how Czech commenters have been building up the Swiss here as some invincible Hulks who cannot be scored against, I guess they are still at least a bit vulnerable when they play against a semi-OK team. That’s reassuring.

Now the question is if Slovaks dont have a better team on this tournament?

No it definitely gonna be a tight game with Swiss where the chances are 50:50, but I would very much like for us to go to that game with the certain qf spot already so we dont have to stress too much

Hischier has such a stick technik ...

Huge save.. nice work. Thought Slovakia had it. I love that they attack and are feisty! Fun to watch.

What a chance by Hrivik! Great play by Nemec.

 

[torero]

Meyer should learn to get out of his cage !!! 2nd time that he takes a risk ... that could have been avoided.

 

[Speyer]

Hischier has such a stick technik ...

Really needs to shoot the puck more though. He has been overpassing all playoffs long as well.

Swiss should try to pick the corners on their breakaway and rush chances in general. The Slovak goalie has been really strong down low. It will be hard to beat him this way.

Yes ... i know that he gets the same critic in NJ !!

TBH ... i never saw him flagrantly overpassing ... he passes a lot !!

I think he passes too much because he grants the receiver to be as good as he is.

 

[tobu]

Quick call

 

[vlady]

damn, that was unlucky. it will be hard to tie it up now

 

[jcbio11]

Good goal unfortunately.

 

[Jon Riley]

What are they reviewing?

 

[SwissFan12]

good goal

 

[torero]

Maradona had the hand of God
Marti had the hand of Ivan

 

[jcbio11]

What are they reviewing?

High stick.

 

[Antiillafire]

Going to be very tough to get a third on the Swiss

 

[vlady]

swiss are so strong on the forecheck

 

[Get North]

Slovaks look so far behind the Swiss. Looks like Team Canada is playing in Red. Makes sense with all the talent Switzerland has produced in the last few years. Fiala, Hischier are high-end players in the NHL

 

[Czechboy]

Not sure if it's been discussed.. Hlavaj? Is that the preferred choice here?

It is 3-2.

1A 1B kind of situation IMO. He was amazing vs Canada but Skorvanek was good too.

i don't think he can be faulted for any of the goals ... IMO

 

[Speyer]

Joined a bit late and just saw the replay of Ninos goal. Ambühl reminds me of Master Roshi from Dragonball, by the way. He is basically ancient but still has a few tricks up his sleeves. It would be a travesty he can't crown his epic WC career with a gold medal.

 

[torero]

Nino became a true powerforward ... i remember seeing him young ... but now he is truly solid in the dirty places.

 

[Jon Riley]

Nah he has been solid

Fischer down to 3 pairings, Fora and Geisser don't play anymore.

Two clearly missed calls on Nino.
