Swiss recover to win

No shootout? No overtime? No problem!

Swiss recover to win

Switzerland's Dino Wieser #56 looks for a scoring chance against Latvia's Edgars Masalskis #31 during preliminary round action at the 2016 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship.

 

 

Switzerland blew leads of 3-0 and 4-3, but an Eric Blum goal at 18:31 of the third period broke a 4-4 tie with Latvia and gave the Swiss a dramatic win.

 

Blum controlled a poor clearing effort by Roberts Bukarts and then fired a quick point shot that went all the way, fooling Latvian goaltender Edgars Masalskis and giving the Swiss their second win in a row.

 

The result puts the Swiss right back in the thick of playoff possibility. They now have seven points and move into second place in Group A standings (although they have played one more game than all other teams at this moment). After three games that went to overtime or a shootout, this was their first regulation game in Moscow.

 

The loss leaves Latvia in last place tied with Kazakhstan. Each team has just two points but the Kazakhs have a game in hand.

 

"Today was the first game where we really got started," noted Swiss captain Andres Ambuhl. "We played pretty good early on, but then we lost that 3-0 lead. Still we had enough to win it and get our first three points of the tournament, so we're pretty happy with that."

 

What started out as a clumsy and slow game turned into unpredictable mayhem in the second period when teams combined equally for six goals, the most in any one period so far at this year’s World Championship.

 

Nine Niederreiter started the fireworks simply enough. Stationed in the middle of a four-man Latvian box during a Swiss power play, he re-directed a nice pass from Sven Andrighetto over the glove of Masalskis at 3:33.

 

Two and a half minutes later, "El Nino" struck again. This time he corralled a rebound off a Felicien du Bois shot and fired quickly, the puck squeaking through Masalskis’s pads.

 

The Swiss took control of the game at 8:30 when Andrighetto’s pass in front caromed off the skate of Gregory Hofmann. Video review confirmed there was no distinct kicking motion, and so the Swiss were up 3-0 and looking strong.

 

But they couldn’t maintain their composure and took penalties that cost them dearly. Kristaps Sotnieks took a point shot deflected in front by Mikelis Redlihs at 13:24 to make it 3-1.

 

Four minutes later, on another man advantage, another Sotnieks point shot led to a goal. Berra made the save, but Redlihs was right there to snap home the loose puck.

 

To complete the craziness, Ronalds Kenins came don the right wing and fired a pass in front, only to see the puck deflected by Swiss forward Morris Trachsler behind his own goalie at 18:36. A game that started slowly veered sharply in the Swiss direction, was now tied, 3-3 after 40 minutes.

 

Andrighetto gave the Swiss another lead at 5:56 of the third when he came off the boards and fired a quick shot from the top of the faceoff circle that caught Masalskis by surprise.

 

That lead lasted all of 26 seconds before a harmless-looking shot by Guntis Galvins was tipped en route to the net by Aleksejs Sirokovs, beating Berra and making it a 4-4 game and setting the stage for Blum's dramatics.

 

Switzerland now enjoys two days off before playing Russia on Saturday while the Latvians have one day off before a critical encounter with Denmark.

    • We don’t even have a broadcaster or streaming platform for the games ! IOC couldn’t get any deal for the Indian viewers and we can’t watch this games live ! 
    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
