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

[EK47]

Terrible after the swiss goal. Bad mentality.

 

[Prntscrn]

Not to make excuses for you guys, but I'm always nervous hearing about a team suffering from a communicable disease, flu in this case. Never know how many guys are playing through it.

Yeah, I hope it's just arrogance and they come out as a new team in the second period.

swiss plays with 6 players several times. Guess its a benefit of lesser nations, we see it al the time. you stink you get the call. to have the players calm.

 

[rickardr]

To mutch one man show, but without any show

 

[Melkor]

The way this game is going on, I don't see how Swedes expect to win. The Swisses completely neutralized their offense in the 1st and had far better scoring chances.

Only idiots playing with flue or other medical conditions... not worth risking you're carrer because of 1 game of JWC

Makes up for the 20 seconds of PP time they played with 4 players

That one at the end of the period definitely should have been too many men, the skater coming on intentionally deflected the puck with his skate while the guy going off wasn’t even touching the boards yet

 

[PTmbp13]

How many sweden players are sick? Any news on that? Just came home

 

[Arselona]

Swiss are pretty much a top nation now. Not worse than the Czech or Slovaks, on level with Finland.

This tourney is a huge event for these kids. The flu is hardly a threatening situation for extremely fit 19 year-olds.

Mmmmm I would disagree. They play great hockey and have good results in this tourney lately but in terms of producing draft picks, they haven’t been anywhere near Czechs or Finns. Slovaks yes

Everyone is dressed up for the game.

 

[stastny12]

Cmon Swiss. You are doing great!

You don't know what you talking about... heard of Myocarditis? thats what you get if you play or train while have a sickness in your body and im talking out of own experiance...

 

[Chimpradamus]

Finnish and Canadian refs...

First I laughed. Then I almost had to check it up. The Swiss can hug and play with 6 players at impunity, it seems. And when Sweden is penalized? Another rulebook invention. Weak as hell, what else is new? Sweden gripped the sticks too hard and were a little bit sluggish, but it sure helps to play with the help of the 6th man out there.

Let me guess, in the next 2 periods Sweden will have another rulebook invention, while 1-2 blatant penalties by Switzerland are ignored.

That is caused by a viral infection, not "exercising while sick". Lots of players play through illnesses, it usually impacts their game, but they can do it.

 

[Garl]

Cmon Swiss. You are doing great!

Cmon Swiss. You are doing great!

Why do you hate Sweden again?

umm no... fins are above those 3...

 

[VictorLustig]

When is Lundeström, Zetterlund and Olofsson going to show up? They get lots of ice time but can't create any offense. Can't say I'm surprised either.

 

[koyvoo]

Why do you hate Sweden again?

Usually people cheering for the underdog doesn’t necessarily mean hating the favourite.

 

[SabresSharks]

I expect the Swedish team has competent medical advice available to them, and would not risk their players' health. Don't know if your personal experience has much relevance here.

Whatever you say im sure you know better than the docs

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Brannstrom's so fun to watch out there.

 

[Arselona]

On second thought you're probably right. However, I think the Swiss are so good now I wouldn't call it an upset if they beat any of the traditional contenders at international tourneys

 

[stastny12]

Why do you hate Sweden again?

I do not hate Sweden. Just like underdogs in general.
