PGT: WJC Quarter Finals: Game 22 | Switzerland Eliminate Sweden 2-0

[SabresSharks]

Congrats Switzerland! You will win this and Sweden dont deserve to win this game. Hope you win a medal.

Stop. 3 periods not 2. Your boys and coaches are in the dressing room right now, desperate to figure it out.

Why is everyone so eager to give up on their teams? I see this all over HF.

Well I did say i had a bad feeling for this game and looks like i was right.

 

[scipio]

Those numbers are almost certainly wrong. No way Czech Republic has more players than Sweden, probably less than Finland as well.

Well, those are the official numbers. Czech Republic seems to be the odd one out as there are way more seniors than juniors (ratio seniors to juniors around 3, while it is usually way below 1 for the other "big nations"). So even though CZ has almost double the players compared to FIN and SWE, they have fewer Juniors compared to FIN and SWE (around 70%).

Sweden since 2008: 48-0 in round robin, 12-10 in elimination games

Because of the game image. The Swiss can play defensively and pressure all over the ice, while maybe one Swedish player out of the whole squad is showing he's in the game. When they connect 2 basic passes in a row, I might have a slight hope. Very slight. I think Denmark would've performed better in this game than Sweden so far, or at least be up on par.

 

[Slimmy]

At least it doesn't feel as bad as losing to Finland or Canada. That's always something.

The Swiss deserve full credit thus far. They’ve brought their best when it matters most through 2 periods.

 

[praisethedeke]

you have to look the highlights on youtube of him?

First, welcome to HF. Second, I see 11 posts on this guy, if you want to know peoples opinion on him maybe just start a thread on him

I just saw a replay of the 2nd goal and I don't know if there's anything like challenges at the WJC, but on the clearing attempt from the Swedish D, Wyss seems to have touched the puck QUITE high.

Yupp nothing against Swiss and like i said before this match even started Switzerland has showed the world that they are climbing up in the system.

So even though CZ has almost double the players compared to FIN and SWE, they only half half the Juniors.

I remember those numbers being discussed on some Czech media and the conclusion was that numbers are simply not correct.

You wouldn't be able to challenge that in the NHL anyways. Nor do I think you should ever be able to. Where do you draw the line on how far back you can go in the play looking for any infraction to cancel out goals?

Yep, that was very probably a high stick and no, there is no possibility for a challenge there (yet).

They’ve always been a mid-major hockey power. They’re more than capable of upsets like this from time to time.

 

[Slimmy]

Would you look at that! Three passes connect and a shot!

Yupp but people in here laughed at me when i said it! just check the swedish roster thread.

 

[Mestaruus]

I don't see Sweden coming back.

Never count Sweden AKA Hannu Hanhi, AKA Gladstone Gander out.

 

[HanSolo]

Lundestrom hat trick incoming

You may recall what happened in SWE-USA. You're only down 2, not 4. Lots of time left.

Support your team, Swede bros!

 

[Hawkster58]

2-0 is the worst lead in hockey, plenty of time left here to turn it around for the Swedes.

When a Swedish team play this bad they usually continue through the game. If they played good and was two goals behind i would not say anything. I blame the sickness and slow coach.

 

[snipes]

Not a good penalty to take

 

[snipes]

Some beautiful passing there and the shot fanned on.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Never count Sweden AKA Hannu Hanhi, AKA Gladstone Gander out.

Time to start praying to Hannu Hanhi.
