Beaten 4-3 following extra time by Latvia, the Swiss team logically did not give their full potential in their 7th and last Group B match in Riga. The day before the quarter-final once morest Germany at the World Cup, we still tried to bring out 2 Swiss from the lot.
1RE ETOILE: RUDOLPH BALZER
The Syracuse (AHL) striker capsized the majority of the 9,178 spectators present in the Riga Arena in the 63rd minute. The man with 170 NHL matches logically deserves this mention as the author of the winning goal of 4-3 in overtime, in power-play. The adventure therefore continues for one of the two host countries of the tournament, which climbs to the quarter-finals to the detriment of Slovakia.
2E ETOILE: ANDRES AMBÜHL
The 39-year-old Grison scored at least one goal for a third game in a row. In the 54th, the record maker lodged the puck at the bottom of a splendid shot taken from the left side. We must now hope that the HC Davos striker continues on this superb momentum during the final phase of this World Cup, starting on Thursday once morest Germany.
3E ETOILE: KEVIN FIALA
The Saint-Gallois scored his first goal of the tournament, equalizing at 1-1 in the 27th minute with a nice shot from mid-height leaving Latvian goalkeeper Arturs Silovs flabbergasted. After having often had aiming problems during the previous games, the star of the Los Angeles Kings has finally hit the target and shown his best face on the offensive level. We also want proof of his decisive pass on the goal of Ambühl. Be careful, however, not to take stupid penalties like that of the 32nd in the future. Moment when the attacker intentionally hit an opponent in the face…
