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

[Kamzik]

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.

sorry Kris Versteeg doesn't work for TSN, he commented as a private citizen on twitter.

Btw that picture of Dach's wrist is NSFW

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

Yeah, he a bit does. He is 16 y.o. and certainly a great prospect. He also reminds me a little bit of Tomas Hertl. Especially the way he uses his shoulders to fake a move/pass/shot. I like his game, the best Slovak player so far to me.

 

[Kamzik]

I had no idea Slafkovsky was such a good playmaker.

 

[Speyer]

Jesus here we go again...

 

[Hinterland]

Lol man. They're very creative when it comes to taking dumb penalties. Wtf

 

[SoundAndFury]

Slovakia has to score on one of these... It's gonna backfire otherwise...

 

[Canada4Gold]

Such a bad call

 

[Kamzik]

Slafkovsky two minutes for being pushed into the Swiss goalie.

 

[tny760]

that is so weak wow

where's he supposed to go?

 

[Hinterland]

Refs made up for one bs call with another one. Great. We'll take it.

 

[ddlennon]

??? Call

 

[SoundAndFury]

That's game management for you, with so many penalties against the Swiss they were gonna call anything on Slovakia the first chance they get...

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Refs made up for one bs call with another one. Great. We'll take it.

agreed,

 

[BigBadBoar]

This Swiss pressure at the end of their PP was finally something interesting.

 

[Kamzik]

Mudrak should have blocked that with his face. Country is more important than face.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Well if there is any use in Turan that has to be on PK.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Seriously, Slovaks should have scored on those PPs... The chances Switzerland is generating, they will start to go in at some point.

 

[Kamzik]

Turan's shots are dangerous if you are a spectator in the crowd.

 

[Hinterland]

Feeling bad for Knak. Holding on to the puck for far too long because Canonica and Bottini aren't much of a help. Might wanna exchange him and Hofer because the Schläpfer line is the only really dominant one. Other option would be to maybe put Jobin on his line. Just feel like Knak would do better with better linemates.

 

[BigBadBoar]

The Swiss are gaining some ground here.

 

[Hinterland]

The Swiss are gaining some ground here.

They were always better 5vs5. Not necessarily on offense but the Swiss defense is way better, leading to more possession. 5vs5, almost no quality chances for the Slovaks.

Agreed, Canonica has been disappointing so far. I almost wanted to say Delemont is having a good game before making a braindead play. He looks either like an elite prospect or like a complete amateur. No in between there.

 

[Kezaster]

This 16 ear old slovak dman looka pretty good.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Pretty sloopy right now
