Typical SUI match, following their national team hockey games is sometimes really painful to watch, the hockey "cattenaccio" they play like this for years...but if you are a fan of defensive hockey this is definitely the team to watch

 

 

Well that brings me to a dilemma. I like goals, but I also like underdogs

but honestly I must admit that I am not and never was their biggest fan, since many times they kicked us out with their tactical hockey, ehm...just like this year they denied us the play-offs

 

but

Spoiler

I must also admit they are very good in what they do and they deserve where they are right now in the hockey world

I guess that Canada will score 3 and kill the match

meanwhile it´s1-1 now Bo Horvat equalized the score, hopefully SUI will re-open the game now a bit

 

here I am!

remember...the "perfect score" is always 0-0...also in the Hockey game...

 

however, they don't play the real "catenaccio" (we, as Italians, have the copyright for that...also in Hockey -remember Bryan Lefley's ITA teams in the early 90s)...they're just realistic...they know they can't play a very open game against the powerhouses and try to take advantage of their qualities...

however, they're individually too good to say they play the "Italian style"...

 

p.s. it's "catenaccio"...only 1 "t" in the middle...

Switzerland

2nd power play goal for Switzerland. Now Gaetan Haas scored the goal deflecting the shoot of Andrighetto and punishing the 2min minor penalty of Nugent-Hopkins for hooking.

 

3-1 Switzerland
