I’m excited for this game. Seems important

 

[Hinterland]

My guess:

Similar lineup but Jonah Neuenschwander in as 13th forward and PP specialist. His older brother Elijah will be rested with Kirsch getting the start.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Critical game.

Total brag.. I was 4 for 4 yesterday with remarkably accurate scores as well. I only mention this because I don't have the slightest clue who wins here.lol

I thoutht the Swiss were a bit unlucky against the Czechs but played a very solid and well structured game. They didn't look dynamic but were very solid.
I thought the Slovak's looked very good for parts of Sweden and very bad for other parts. They have dynamic because that top line is very nice.

So I say the final score is 3-2 but I have no idea who's walking away from this. This game, likely, means a quarter spot. Leaving the loser in a must win against Kazakhistan.

I am cheering for the Slovaks obviously.

Jonah Neuenschwander is in for Gredig who is probably injured after taking that knock yesterday. Neuenschwander not in Gredig's spot though but on the topline with Reber and Dorthe. Steiner in Graf's spot with Antenen and Gruber with Graf taking over Gredig's line from yesterday with Kaderli and and R.Meier.

Surprisingly, his older brother is in the lineup as well though it remains to be seen if he's starting again or backing up Kirsch.

This game will in all likelihood determine 3rd/4th place in the TD Place Arena group.

best game of the day probably the other 3 look like mismatches although germany might cause finland trouble for a little while

I would say the Switzerland's lineup has a little bit better depth while Slovakia has the big star (Dvorský). Should be a pretty close game. Curious about Lars Steiner, I liked this guy a lot in yesterday's game. Reminds me a bit of Kevin Fiala with his confident puck control and bold moves both around and across the attacking zone.

I like Steiner as well but apparently, the SIHF Mickey Mouse coaches do not.
Looks like Steiner lost his spot on the topline to Jonah Neuenschwander.

OK, that's surprising. He reads the game extremely well and really can carry the puck through the traffic. Maybe he is not that strong in battles along the boards (yet), which is understandable considering his age. But he is not weak in them either.

An extremely important game. This will be a tough battle which will end 1:1 or 5:5

The stress you are feeling is the same stress I will be feeling when we play you guys on Sunday.lol One of those 'no idea how this ends' type games. Hoping for a big day from Dalibor because Switzerland doesn't have a Dalibor. Their goalie was excellent yesterday.... sounds crazy because of 4 goals but he did not have much chance on many of them. 1 was a tip from the blue pain. Another bounched in off 2 Swiss players before going in.

he may be tired though!

No stress needed this year

"Slovokia" wins 5-2 with an EN. Dvorsky player of the game. Best game on today probably!

Steiner is actually plenty strong along the boards. Certainly for his size he is.

Definitely stronger than he looks like.

Kirsch starts for Switzerland.

I really liked Steiners two-way game yesterday, a lot of good defensive plays.

Its puzzling especially because they complement each other well. Reber is the best playmaker on the team and Steiner has the best or second best shot. They showed some good chemistry as well. like when Reber found Steiner with that reverse pass that almost resulted in a goal. Not sure if 15 year old Neuenschwander is already able to keep up with Reber. We will see...

Kirsch is one heck of a gamble. The potential is obviously there but at this point he's just a project. He dropped out of the USHL as well. I'd feel much safer with Simmchen in net but we'll see. I'm not saying Kirsch can't work out.

Steiner's demotion is quite dumb though Neuenschwander with Reber and Dorthe should be entertaining.

I fixed it but don't tell Hangman!

 

[Antiillafire]

Does Ivan Fenes tell the team to come out sleeping every game?

 

[Hinterland]

So...Button thinks Urban is the best Slovakian goalie? Really Craig?

 

[WarriorofTime]

Which country has more 15 year old male hockey players do you think?

 

[Hinterland]

Monster block. That would have been a goal. Steiner wasn't gonna miss from there.
