Swiss can put up a good game... I'm not expecting a blowout but am expecting Sweden to prevail. Swiss did take.out Sweden in the 1-4 crossover pretty recently too. Maybe 5 years ago?

 

[Kearns]

Dammit. Any room left on the Swedish bandwagon? My wagon blew a tire.

 

[Hinterland]

Exhibition game was a one shot game until the last 30 seconds when Sweden scored an empty netter. That was an exhibition though and Switzerland was backstopped by Huet. Beglieri expected to start today. It's possible we're gonna see a tight game again but probably not likely. In any way, I don't have much hope for a Swiss win

5-1 Sweden lets go!

Was it... your Canadian tire?







I'll show myself out.

 

[SwissFan12]

Would be so sweet to beat the Swedes in front of their crowd... but very unlikely unfortunately

 

[DeltaSwede]

This is the NA nightmare matchup. Forever will our countries be mixed up with each other by some North Americans.

 

[hockey20000]

well i said if canada got put out i would cheer for sweden since there on home ice so here i am ... lets go sweden .

 

[Hinterland]

Uh. Very nice deflection there...

 

[helax]

Good start , nice redirection

 

[Chainshot]

Thought someone got a touch on that but right now they are announcing it as Havelid's goal.

 

[SwissFan12]

The too many man, a swiss classic

 

[Hinterland]

Lol, Muller. What the heck...

Not really. We all know the Swiss invented IKEA and Sweden is famous for its delicious chocolate.

 

[theslatcher]

Oof what a trash PP

 

[Hinterland]

The too many man, a swiss classic

Yeah. Except that it's usually because the Swiss idiot coaches don't know the difference between 5 and 6.
This time it was all Muller's fault. He skates to the bench just to turn and play on as soon as Rod jumps over the boards. Can't do that.

 

[hockeyprospects9]

Wahlberg sucks

 

[Hinterland]

Classic Dionicio. Dominates a game completely just to then take a dumb penalty out of nowhere...

 

[Seiza]

Except for the goal, Sweden has been pretty bad so far.

Jinxing now so they'll score on the PP.

 

[DeltaSwede]

What a beauty of a snipe.

Worked just like intended.

What a snipe by Lekkerimaki wow

Lekkermaki has been the best forward of the tournament
