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

[Chimpradamus]

Just seen a nice defensive play by Sandin, how has he been so far in the tournament?

The most noticable defenseman together with Brännström. He has been influential. He's very quick to move the puck if he has to, or carry it if he has space. If he can improve his defensive game a bit, he's a keeper.

I wonder how big of a role the flu is playing

Swiss have dominated

I really liked what I saw, good positioning and speed.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I always hate this argument. What if they deserved 10?

What? The guy is crying about biased referring in a game where they have 5 PP. It is weak as hell, the Swedes aren't losing this game because of the refs. Period.

 

[PanniniClaus]

This might be the best skating Swiss team from top to bottom i've ever seen at the world juniors. Skate and play with high high energy.

 

[Mestaruus]

If this was a preliminary round game, Sweden would 5-0 it and continue that streak (curse).

 

[Uncle Bill]

Great effort by the Swiss. I’m very impressed.

Since they played abysmal for 60 minutes in this game and very weak against Kazakhstan, it must've dropped the morale and stamina quite a bit. Total 180 compared to the games against Finland and USA, where they moved around, pressured all over the ice and had crisp passes for most of the games, with some extra individual dekes and moves.

Refs this, flu that. Bottom line, the Swedes are getting outplayed by the Swiss right now.

"The refs beat us" is (almost) always just an excuse. 2nd goal shouldn't have happened though.

The flu might be legit. Nobody really knows.

 

[SCBdude]

Hollenstein is such a beast, beautiful.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Sweden with the dud of the tourney

 

[romelson]

There are more hockey rinks in Canada than traffic lights... gotta be a peewee rink he can work at.

I hear they are a Zamboni driver short on Prince Patrick Island...

Hollenstein standing on his head

They are not as good when asked to attack. Against Finland and the US they just sat backed and counterattacked. Doesn't work in this game.

The flue i don't give much for that excuse Switzerland is a great hockey nation don't take this victory from them by saying the Swedish team had a flue

 

[Spender]

Swiss have been great and Hollenstein is a beast at reading the play. Frustrating as f*** to go out in the quarters, but I knew it would be a tough game.

 

[Fred McCarthy]

Swiss goalie should be all 3 stars if he gets a shutout

 

[Master P]

This swiss goalie is fantastic. I love seeing goalie performances like this.

What do you mean, 'what?' - you don't understand why 5 PP is not absolute proof that the refs aren't biased? I gave you an example of how the refs could still be biased despite your statement - what part didn't you understand?

 

[Stanley Cup]

Crazy how much better Switzerland has gotten in the last decade

 

[ziploc]

The argument being made here is not just that the refs are incompetent (which is often fair at these tournaments) but that they are intentionally biased. They WANT the Swiss to win to give Canada or Finland an easier next game.
Horsecrap.

 

[kabidjan18]

Who is actually sick with the flu? I'm not familiar with this story.

 

[Killahpunk]

Swiss coach losing it.

 

[canswetoxic]

Monten is an idiot, 2 mins left to ask keeper out ?

 

[hangman005]

But if you jinxed it, you get fired into the sun
