WC: Switzerland 2024 roster talk

[Shawn Heins 44]

Josi with 27mn on ice is crazy, hope Fischer don't overuse him because we need him for the quarter

Yeah I do not worry the slightest about Josi and his minutes. He is playing that consistently in NA since years.

 

[Namejs]

Is Fiala playing tonight?

 

[jonas2244]

He‘s registered so there‘s a good chance he‘ll play tonight

 

[ruedinho]

Yes, Fiala will play tonight.

 

[jonas2244]

Goalie disucssion ended probably today. Hope Hischier is okay.

 

[stv11]

Schmid should still get a look, stupid goals can happen.

Brilliant defensive game today, and the Andrighetto line was way better. Now time to work on the PK and learn to avoid stupid penalties.

 

[jonas2244]

Yeah, of course, Genoni won't play all games. Pretty sure Schmid gets Great Britain.

It's probably much easier to play on Josis side but I think Glauser shows he's NHL-ready and I wouldn't be surpised if he gets a contract. And Fora was a little bit better today.

 

[stv11]

There was one shift in the first period where Fora had an easy breakout pass but played it one meter behind Jäger who somehow managed to control it and carry it into the offensive zone, then passed it back to Fora at the blue line who let it slide back in the neutral zone, skated back to recover it and then missed Jäger by one meter on the ensuing pass

Regarding the goalies, I'd give GB and one of Canada or Finland to Schmid, it's time to see if we have a goalie of the future.

 

[SwissFan12]

Goalie disucssion ended probably today. Hope Hischier is okay.

Given how Genoni played for us in important game before, yes, the goalie discussion should have been ended way before this year

We have one the best roaster with Canada, Sweden and USA, if we don't makes the semi Fischer should go (even if we make it if you ask me )

 

[Rillijuti]

Hischier Josi Fiala resting against GB?

 

[jonas2244]

Only if there are reasons for it like if Fiala would struggle with his jetlag or Hischiers cut needs some healing.

What's up with Thürkauf? Awesome season in Switzerland, very good in pre-games, started the tournament on a top line and still nothing on board

That often happens to players that they play lights out during season and then play crickets for national team.

So he just sucks or is extremely unlucky?

 

[jonas2244]

Probable lineup for tomorrow:

Josi – Glauser
Siegenthaler – Kukan
Loeffel – Marti
Jung

Fiala – Hischier – Niederreiter
Andrighetto – Jäger – Kurashev
Herzog – Senteler – Simion
Scherwey – Thürkauf – Bertschy
Ambühl

 

[jonas2244]

After today Switzerland will for sure finish in the Top-3 of the group. Finland cannot pass anymore. Means USA, Germany or Slovakia. All 3 have good teams, SVK has basically a home game. But they are the theam with the worst record vs. Switzerland.

Yeah I think we have a better team than both Slovakia and Germany but Slovakia is basically at home and Germany is basically in our skin lol

 

[Kuracmugger]

Very unlikely but i could also be latvia as of now but the ones you stated will probably be the QF match up.

 

[Goose The Cat]

Hudacek again!!!

Lol sorry, wrong thread.

 

[SwissFan12]

So now we all should hope to avoid USA and Sweden

 

[stv11]

Losing one close game is not the end of the world, plus Switzerland was in control before the incident. You know Canada can get away with anything and get all the video reviews, you can't always overcome that.

But I'm worried about the lack of secondary scoring (basically everyone except Josi, Hischier and Fiala) and the PK. This team looks too flawed to reach the semifinals.

I can say with confidence that you are not getting Sweden. They need one point in the next two games to win the group.

We can still finish 4th if we lose against Finland and they win against Danemark

Edit : Ho no I thought Finland had 10 points but they have 7, my bad haha

Czechs could finish 1st, would be big for them with Pasta and Zacha coming

Maybe the IIHF give you the nottingham forest treatment

Top 2 in our group avoid US and Sweden. Lots to play for! Czechs could lose to Canada on Tuesday and US on Thursday and be done.
