alt kilgore Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Swiss always play the closest to Canada's style. Could be all the Canadian coaches they have had in the past. But they hit like us, fight for the puck along the boards as relentlessly, and also in this case also have great goaltending. The only one advantage for Canada has always been the talent level of a few elite players which Switzerland doesn't have. But if they don't stand out, its an even match.

Gstank29 Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 This team seems to lack chemistry. I'm seeing a lot of selfish shots and not waiting for a passing lane to open up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo2337 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Too much perimeter play and no shots. They have to force defensive break downs by shooting, not waiting for them. They look like the Sedins, but without the finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 The Swiss just continue to get more and more impressive. Saw them a few years ago in the WJC in Saskatoon in a game Canada won 5-0, but the Swiss had clearly closed a large part of the gap at that point. They could skate with Canada and could handle the physicality, but didn't quite have the depth of stick skills and upside. Clearly a nation you can no longer take lightly.

oldnews Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Not a huge fan of Canada's forward group. A little too much 'pretty'/flashy me-first crapola to this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
