GDT: Switzerland Vs. Slovakia - 12/25 - 2PM ET - TSN/NHLN

[czechcanadian]

All the young guys looking really good for Slovaks.
But man, not sure how many goals they’ll get in this tournament...

 

[Hinterland]

swiss are really weak this year getting outshot 12-4 by slovakia ouch...

5vs5 the Swiss were better. First 5mins by a lot. Bit more even since but the Swiss still had the better chances. Fust really should have scored.

 

[Kamzik]

Slafkovsky seems dangerous to me whenever he has the puck.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Nemeč? Is that right?

 

[GettingYourMoms]

Nemeč? Is that right?

no

 

[SoundAndFury]

Bit more even since but the Swiss still had the better chances.

Huh? Slovaks had 3v1 and basically had an empty net on the first PP that Chromiak couldn't get lumber on.

 

[Hinterland]

It is because of the PP's. I've been not exactly impressed by either team so far.

Yeah. Goalies do look very good though. Not just that they didn't allow any goals...they're also really calm and their rebound control is excellent. They're not giving up much.

 

[Speyer]

Cant take so many stupid penalties, the Slovaks have to score eventually if we keep this up.

 

[BigBadBoar]

I didn't know you were some 'poster from Brno'... that's awesome. I'm from Brno too!

That's cool, I am spending the Christmas holidays in the highland but I enjoy Brno as a city a lot. Pity there is currently that bloody lockdown, otherwise we could meet for a beer somewhere.

But to the SVK - SUI game. As much as I was tuned for the tournament to begin, the first perion was rather boring.

Kid looks like he's going to be a player

Thankfully for them, only a handful of Slovak's know how to shoot the puck

First and third one were dumb penalties. Especially the first one where Pezzullo was entirely in control of the situation. 2nd penalty was a made up bs call.

Slovak PP did look good but 5vs5 they didn't create much. First 5mins they were horrible. Bit better afterwards but by no means impressive.

 

[Kamzik]

Did Bob McKenzie just say Slafkovsky is no Marian Gaborik? Poor comparison in my opinion, Gaborik was speed and Slafkovsky is a monster. He did say Slafs has got first round potential. I'd say.

 

[John Agar]

Fiedler...

Sounds like a hoser in that interview...

He would fit in, in any dressing room in Canada or the U.S. ...

 

[Jabs102501]

Wtf? That Swiss guy sounds Canadian as hell

Slafkovsky reminds me more of Hossa tbh if we're to compare him to a Slovak star.

Slafkovsky reminds me of Laine IMO

 

[Kamzik]

That Swiss guy watches the Trailer Park Boys and listens to Kim Mitchell.

Wtf? That Swiss guy sounds Canadian as hell

He was born in Florida, lived a few years there, then went back to Switzerland, played for Zug before going back to the USA for playing USHL and now NCAA.

 

[Jabs102501]

I love how TSN interviewed him because he was probably the most Canadian sounding guy on the ice

 

[czechcanadian]

slovakia has offensive talent how the hell did they lose 6-0 vs the czech the gap shouldn't be that big its the Big 5 these days its no longer a big 6 in my opinion

Czechs have an experienced team. Bunch of returning guys and 19 year old players mixed with a few really promising young players.
Slovaks have very limited experience. But should be good in a couple years.

 

[Kamzik]

From former NHLer Kris Versteeg watching the game, “slafkovsky is unreal and nemec is great.” The kids are all right.

Yeah, these 16 year olds have multiple junior tournaments ahead of them. I'd be curious if we have promising players in the younger generations, Slovakia could ice a competitive junior team in 2-3 years.

I mean what else can he say, "these kids aren't really that good"? The whole purpose of WJC in TSN is to make people believe these kids are future stars so they should really watch them.
