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

[Groo]

Ivan Durak with the trip

 

[Chainshot]

That's pretty weak for a penalty call.

 

[Antiillafire]

The American forecheck will eat both these teams alive when they meet them

 

[Hinterland]

Lol. Some Russians knocking on the wrong door. You better not crash the net post whistle with Bichsel standing there

 

[jonas2244]

Another post, what a pity.

 

[vippe]

shame at least one of those posts would have gone in - would be a neat finish to the game.

 

[Kuracmugger]

Wouldn't he have to if he was 17? It's only been a few days since his birthday.

Yeah but hes 03 and in Switzerland you’re allowed to have a visor even if you’re not 18 just the year your birthyear turns 18 but idk if this also applies on the international rules. I thought maybe he wants to show, that he‘s drafg eligible but just a guess.

 

[Speyer]

Henry has been kind of soft and out of sync before that chance. Good to see him do something. Delemont is a good skater but has no buisness quarterbacking the PP. Sidler and Bichsel are much better at it.

 

[hockey20000]

lol can tell button is gonna be pro bedard in 2023 railing on the russian prospect every chance he gets haha

 

[ViD]

Clear penalty on Michkov not called.

the refs are not calling anything against Swiss

 

[Channelcat]

Is Button having a stroke? I'm worried about him.

 

[Hinterland]

Russia is gonna be very lucky if they win this with Switzerland hitting iron twice, with Pasche gifting them two goals and with that lucky bounce on the 1st goal.

As per usual, our coaching is beyond horrible. The only year it wasn't was when Paterlini was behind the bench. Unfortunately he was let go because he wasn't dumb enough and not willing to act as a dummy coach

Nah, it should be 6-3 Russia by now

 

[Antiillafire]

I think this game is closer than the final score may suggest. Russia still controlled play for long stretches though.

 

[ViD]

Just one goal for Michkov so far, what a bleak performance

 

[BMann]

Great calmness from Matvei. Shame most of the team around him have no idea what to do most of the time. Coaching is abysmal.

 

[ViD]

Pathetic refereeing, Jesus Christ

 

[Hinterland]

That's on Pasche again. I'm not sure if the other two are any better but you can't give up three soft ones. Change has to be made.

 

[king89]

Michkov is truly something, like his attitude too.

 

[Get North]

This Switzerland team might not generate a single NHLer.

 

[Speyer]

Button is about to blow his load after Michkov scores mere minutes after comparing swiss mens hockey to womens hockey...

 

[Speyer]

This Switzerland team might not generate a single NHLer.

I think it will...

 

[ViD]

Michkov should have 3-4 points now if only other guys finish after his plays and set ups

 

[Hinterland]

Nah, it should be 6-3 Russia by now

How? Russia got three gifts from Pasche and the first one was pure luck. Other than that, Pasche made nothing but routine saves while Switzerland hit iron twice.
