GDT: USA (3) vs. Switzerland (2) • Quarterfinals • Jan. 2

[Sens of Anarchy]

Feels like Swiss got robbed.

 

[The Noot]

Not really disappointed

Got to the QF
Played on the same level as the US
Hischier had a great tournament and solidified his position as a top 3 pick this year

Was an ok WJC by our guys overall. Would even say they outperformed my expectations.

Did the US team eat their breakfast at the Waffle House?

I think a lot of young teams can take underdogs for granted.

 

[Woodhouse]

Seems obvious to me that Hischier and Parsons should be players of the game.

USA-3 refs-2

Switzerland dominated the US all game. The only reason the US won was because of Parsons. The refs did nothing wrong.

 

[ViD]

Russia is going to beat the Americans as it's a good old WJHC tradition

 

[Snippit]

Shame that the Swiss has to go home early.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Montreal Canadiens fans think its no big deal

 

[YourAverageFan*]

Bracco being named player of the game over Parsons is an absolute joke

ditto

 

[Calgareee]

How did Parsons not get player of the game...

 

[chunkylover53]

Her-sheer? He-sheer?

 

[satbank]

This US team is odd. They have a good record but they don't look good.

 

[Beansy*]

Holy that Swiss D-man that belongs to Washington is about as ugly as they come.

 

[YourAverageFan*]

19 saves and scored 3 goals?

2 goals. And yes, Parsons is the ONLY reason the US won. Did you not watch the game? Parsons stole the game for the US. Switzerland dominated

Bracco was very good in the first period but I wouldn't look much into player of the games they haven't really made much sense all tournament.

I would hardly say they dominated "all game"

Exactly. It's tradition.

 

[Hinterland]

Switzerland dominated the US all game. The only reason the US won was because of Parsons. The refs did nothing wrong.

Remember in the 1st period the US were only able to score on the PP because the refs missed a call. They missed another one right after. Two clear and obvious ones. They proved to be costly. What a shame.

Braaaaaaaahhhhh wtf should be Parsons

Leaf fans feel justified

 

[Patmac40]

The PA guy managed to mispronounce all of the Swiss names. Awesome.

 

[Scotty B]

19 saves and scored 3 goals?

Sometimes dry stats/simple numbers dont tell the story...Parsons made several game saving hi-lite reel saves...can't believe that last one on Nico

 

[Gert B Frobe]

Not impressed with USA team. Great goalie though

Yeah they aren't very good - were lucky against Canada the other ay too. Not impressed. No not impressed at all. All goalie. Bad team. Stole the game with help from the refs.

I would hardly say they dominated "all game"

They dominated the 2nd and 3rd periods. There's no question about that.

If you think the only reason the score was 3-2 was because of the refs, then you're out to lunch. Switzerland was the much better team.

 

[Hinterland]

I would hardly say they dominated "all game"

Not the first period, no. But that was mainly because of the refs missing two clear calls.
