Re: 2015 World Championship Thread

Unfortunately I will be travelling on Thursday and will not be able to watch the U.S.-Swiss quarterfinal game. But I would greatly appreciate any updates from those who are watching live so I can track the game's progress via cell phone.

Go USA!

I'll try to keep the updates comin' (8am CST...evening here Thai time 8pm ).

A major weakness in the Swiss team is they've had a difficult time burying the puck in the tournament with 12 GF in 7 games vs USA's 22, and SUI ranks 16th, dead last in scoring efficiency. Switzerland's PP is at a dismal 6% (15th) vs. USA 18%. PK for both teams is about even at 90%.

In nets, the Swiss have been alternating between Genoni and Berra. Genoni has only played 3 games, but my guess is he starts with the better GAA 0.98 and SV% 95.5. Hellebuyck is right behind Genoni with a GAA 1.38 and SV% 94.2.

From what I've seen Switzerland plays a physical game, finishing checks and playing tough on the walls. I wouldn't be surprised to see them fall back into a trap to slow USA down. If USA can jump out to an early lead, the Swiss will have a hard time solving Hellebuyck. Should be a good game!

Like to see Dylan Larkin get on the score sheet (11 SOG).

End of 1, SUI 1-0. Switzerland playing good D, keeping a lot of USA shots on the perimeter, sticks in shooting lanes.

Don't tell me we're going to choke in the quarters AGAIN...

USA struggled attacking the net...they can do better despite SUIs trap. Eichel needs to stop trying to stick handle around the entire SUI team.
