Saturday 23.06.2012, 11:30 • World Junior Championship - U16
     
    Canada has won bronze medal! (13:09:41)
     
    45:00
    Game over.
     
    44:33
    Team Canada is playing at full strenght.
     
    42:57
    Zwyssig gets two minutes penalty for slashing.
     
    42:33
    Hutton (CAN) gets two minutes for slashing. Time-out for team Switzerland.
     
    40:01
    Canadians defending their blue line very well.
     
    37:54
    Tempo of the game is now quite slow, Canada is keeping the lead.
     
    35:09
    It was pretty solid power-play from team Canada but Capellin made some good saves and Swiss are now at full strenght.
     
    33:09
    Swiss get two minutes penalty for too many players on the rink.
     
    31:38
    Swiss are under pressure right from the beggining of the third period.
     
    30:01
    3rd period began.
     
    Canadians are still better that the opponent and added to their score the second goal. I think it is all over now.
     
    30:00
    2nd period finished.
     
    29:20
    We are playing last minute of the second period.
     
    28:50
    Pacholok´s shot was touched over the net by Weloy.
     
    28:12
    Oh, that was no bad. Two swiss tries to shot on Slavin, Huber´s effort was blocked in front of the net.
     
    27:20
    It is quite boring now. Switzerland can not punish the opponent in attack, Canadian players are only passing each other.
     
    26:28
    Good save by Capellin after Colella´s shot.
     
    26:05
    Canada remains in attack, they try to hit the opponent by another goal!
     
    24:21
    Goal for Team Canada!
    But this time there is a goal for team Canada. Rebound from TJ PATTERSON went in and Canadian are running towards bronze medal. Assisted by Connor Whiteside and Jordon Cannons.
     
    24:02
    Fast move by Canadians but Delmas´s shot went wide.
     
    22:50
    Crucial two minutes for Switzerland. Zehnder gets two minutes for roughing and he blusters a bit.
     
    22:03
    Swiss hopes are still alive but they don´t have quality in the attack. Buf if this score ´ll stay for a longer while, we could see interesting things.
     
    21:15
    Switzerland is playing power-play but most of the time we see that the game is running in the Swiss defending zone. It is quite a reality of this sport.
     
    19:22
    Zipp gets a minor penalty for slashing, maybe this time there could be some interesting moments in front of Slavin.
     
    18:14
    Swiss are still only losing by one but they don´t have any scoring opportunities. Slavin made only one save yet.
     
    17:10
    It is like a friendly game. Less emotions, less scoring chances and low pace of play.
     
    16:33
    Canada made pressure on Swiss, Morris´s shot went over the net, then Capellin made a big save against Fillatre.
     
    15:01
    2nd period began.
     
    Swiss did not play bad in the first period. They hold the scoreless draw for almost 15 minutes but only eleven seconds before end they get a goal.
     
    15:00
    1st period finished.
     
    14:49
    Goal for Team Canada!
    Oh that is sad for Switzerland. Capellin did not catch the shot by BRETT POLLOCK from blueline and the ball hopped in. Lucky moment for Canada. Unassisted.
     
    14:43
    Dangerous situation in front of Capellin. Pollock did not put the ball in.
     
    14:04
    Last minute of the first period, Swiss are still defending with passion!
     
    13:30
    Canada at full strenght.
     
    13:00
    Canada is playing at four players, Swiss have big problems to stay in the attacking zone.
     
    12:11
    Shot from Utiger was blocked and the ball went wide.
     
    11:30
    And it is whole even more interesting! Pollock gets a minor penalty for holding the stick. Swiss are playing 5 on 3 for more than a minute.
     
    10:59
    And here is the gift for Switzerland. Morris gets two minutes for slashing, we are looking forward to another Swiss shots.
     
    10:38
    Weloy did not solve the two on one situation well. Instead of pass, he tried to shoot, but hit only the nearest Swiss defenseman.
     
    9:53
    Huge save by Capellin! Hickey shooted from the blue line but Swiss goalie made a nice glove save!
     
    9:48
    Again Alvo´s effort, this time he missed the target.
     
    9:24
    Shot from Alvo was blocked over the net.
     
    8:23
    Canadian players are still playing without interest, Swiss are still holding surprising scoreless result.
     
    7:35
    But Canadians played shorthanded very well and they´re again at five.
     
    7:00
    First Swiss shot of this game was made by Zwyssig, Slavin made a save by his shoulder.
     
    6:25
    Unfortunately Swiss can not reach the attacking zone, they can´t overcome the blueline. Slavin remains workless.
     
    5:39
    But now first power-play for the Swiss! Kastes gets two minutes for intereference.
     
    4:41
    Switzerland is now under strong pressure but Capellin after some very respectable saves still holds clean sheet.
     
    3:52
    Penalties on both sides. Simic (SUI) gets two minutes for diving, Pollock (CAN) gets a minor penalty for slashing.
     
    3:36
    Now are Swiss playing again at the full strenght.
     
    3:20
    Canadian are little bit lazy now, Swiss don´t have problem to catch all the attack tries.
     
    2:38
    Nice shot from Delmas, good save by Capellin.
     
    2:05
    Zumbuhl defended well, he took the ball and threw him out of the defending zone.
     
    1:30
    First penalty for the Swiss. Two minutes for too many players on the rink.
     
    0:51
    Switzerland after first face-off in defense, they expect very tough game.
     
    00:01
    Game started.
     
    In a while will start the bronze medal game between Canada and Switzerland. Canadians are big favourites of this match, yesterday they unfortunately lost to Czechs 2:4. Swiss were beaten by Slovakia 1:14.
     
    Welcome. Game starts at 11:30.
