GDT: WJC: Russia Vs Switzerland | Dec 27th | 4:30 PM

[Chainshot]

Did not like Novikov's play there to take the body on an odd-man rush.

 

[c9gunner]

I'm not impressed with Guskov at all.

 

[ViD]

Man, that’s the worst goaltending for team Russia since Medvedev days.

The third goalie should start against Slovakia

 

[Hinterland]

Austria had a great goalie, Pache isn't doing well for Suisse

We don't have a goalie even close from Wraneschitz' quality
The only goalie we knew would be somewhat reliable is out due to injury. So we could change goalies now but Henauer who's sitting on the bench is our 3rd goalie. He's just on the roster because Patenaude, the expected starter, is injured. Not sure why the other goalie, Galley, isn't dressed. I just hope he doesn't have covid or is injured because like I said, Henauer probably isn't better than Pasche.

We could swap goalies but that wouldn't help Russia much

****, I'd give anything for Medvedev right now.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Bischel with some physical play at the end, big kid!

 

[BigBadBoar]

The Swiss goalie has been really meh in the 1st. :/

 

[Hinterland]

Swiss goalie represents Swiss cheese more than Swiss hockey tonight

With Patenaude it would most likely be 1-1 but it is what it is. He's gone and with the other 3 goalies it was always gonna be difficult.

 

[Hinterland]

Pasche does not look aware right now. The Swiss might think about switching up netminders.

Again, the guy sitting on the bench is only on the roster because our nr.1 is injured. Not sure if a goalie change would help much

 

[BMann]

Utter shambles at the back. No idea what to do most of the time. Coaching staff need to be replaced with proper coaches who know youth hockey and have qualifications to do so.

 

[Hinterland]

I think with a goalie who can save a puck, we‘d have a chance.

We don't have one with Patenaude out. I think Galley is our best chance but he's somehow not dressed...

My first thought was Pasche is not sober, but I'm trying to be nice.

 

[Hinterland]

I can only guess but it's weird that Henauer initially was the 4th goalie who was gonna get cut then suddenly he's backing up in game 1. Galley, expected to be at least nr.3 but probably nr.2 is not dressed even with Patenaude injured. He was also among the players added later so my guess is that he's probably not available or he'd have been at least on the bench. Sad story because I wouldn't trust Henauer much more than Pasche.

Filatov is there. He's fantastic with youth. But for some reason he's relegated to bench coach. Titov is working with the defense. lol.
What a shitshow.

 

[Speyer]

I dont know much about either goalie but id still put in Henauer for the second peroid. Can't get much worse than it is right now.

I'd do that as well but I also wouldn't expect the move to improve the situation by much

We were always gonna be doomed without Patenaude. That's the first thing I wrote on hfboards once it was clear that there's a covid case. I wrote that if it's Patenaude we might as well go home already

 

[hockey20000]

so close to being 3-2 damn

 

[c9gunner]

what a save

 

[PG Canuck]

Damn

 

[Chainshot]

Looked like a crosscheck off the draw..


Edit - never mind. He was channeling some inner Marchand.

Gherman Titov (rest his soul) would be a better coach. There is no way with this defence and netminding this team makes it past the quarters. Not even the ubermensch Michkov can save this team. All the stupid politicking inside the RHF year to year does no one any favours.

Once again nearly conceding on the rush and the defenceman failing to clear accurately and no idea what to do when they cross the blue line either. Their postioning Kirsanov for example is all over the place.

 

[Hinterland]

Has Henry won a faceoff yet? We're giving away lots of free possession thanks to our idiot coaches

 

[BMann]

Poor efforts from Zlododeyev and Demidov.
