Weakest Swiss team in years with very few top prospects and no drafted players but don't forget that most of these players do have significant pro experience while the Slovaks are the youngest team of the tournament.

We lost because of him. For multiple reasons. It's as simple as that. His 3rd period was beyond horrible. Also, I never liked him. I'm pretty happy with the roster but he's the one guy I'd have cut. Landolt would have been way more solid. Has significant pro experience. He wouldn't have made such a mistake.

Is it surprising? We didn't play well. A lot of small errors and penalties resulting because of indisciplined play.Looks like the Swiss posters aren't too happy
Don't have a good feeling this year.

Even though Slovakia is the youngest team on average, they are a team of giants. What the f*** do they feed those kids?

With the exception of one player who is the reason why we lost and the ridiculously dumb penalties, I am. We just don't have the talent to create dozens of grade a chances. And the Slovak goalie was just stopping everything he had to and a few grade a chances on top of it. Also didn't give up any juicy rebounds or anything else. Not much to complain about.

They didn't play all that big though. May be because they're young but I certainly expected more physicality looking at their size. They've yet to grow into their big bodies.
Yeah our chances to make the knockout stage are very slim now. This isnt really a team that can pull an upset againt a top nation. Lots of very bland players on the roster. Even if you ignore the top prospects past rosters always had a handful of guys with at least one good skill on the roster wich could be speed, grit, scoring touch etc. This year, outside Knak and maybe Meier there is just not enough talent there...

Its too bad Nino hasn't lived up expectations yet. I fault the Islanders for that they don't develop their prospects very well! Wish the Los Angeles Kings could pick him and play him on RW with Kopi-Star!Nino Niederreiter would wonders in LA I believe! Nino needs a change of scenery and a good centre man to play with
Slafkovsky had a strong game, carring quite a lot of play.
Nemec was very good. He did get undressed in the 1st period but man, his awareness was the key that they scored.
Obvious hero today was Latkoczy
The other guy who stood out for me was Elias. He was not flashy but was rock solid in his own end. Will keep an eye on him how he does in the next games.
HM goes to Petrovicky for limiting Turan's ice time to only a few shifts.
Knazko. Somebody should tell him to knock it off with those stupid bodychecks.

Slovakian potato dumpling.
Kind of seems like a deconstructed perogi. Looks tasty and lots of calories lol.

I wouldn't be so pessimistic. Normally, with the kind of chances they had, you score at least 3 or 4 goals. It's unlikely that they'll face another goalie like this. Like I said, a simple line change like swapping Hofer and Knak could also do wonders offensively. If Fatton continues to play like this and if they stop taking dumb penalties, this team can beat anyone. If they continue to take those penalties against top teams, this could get ugly though.
Towards the end of the game his skating didn't look as strong. His endurance is still a work in progress.

You need to drink žinčica with it to get the desirable effect. It's spoiled milk, well fermented to make it sound nice.I know. Didn't seem to work for me though

Beat Germany clean in regulation and you're right back in it.
