For a game that will only affect quarterfinal seeding, Czechia and Switzerland are playing for their lives...I love it

This f$%^ing playoff hockey

#CZEvsSUI #Olympics @dailyfaceoff.bsky.social

Despite a late flurry by Czechia...WE'RE GOING TO OVERTIME!!!!

3-3 between CZE and Switzerland...what a game

SOG: 33-27 CZE

TIE GAME

Lara Christen jams in her first of the #Olympics, and we're tied 3-3 with 2:20 to go in regulation.

MY GOODNESS. That was a thing of beauty

A few minutes after Tereza Plosova put Czechia up by two, Lara Stalder and Ivana Wey connected on Alina Muller's PPG.

Switzerland still trails 3-2 in the 3rd

No scoring in the 2nd, though Switzerland's Saskia Maurer had to make a huge stop at the end of the period...2-1 Czechia after 40 minutes

SUI came out with a little more pep in the middle frame, outshooting CZE 12-6 (Total SOG: 22-21 CZE)

Period two is underway!

#CZEvsSUI #Olympics @dailyfaceoff.bsky.social

20 minutes in the books, and Czechia leads Switzerland 2-1.

Things certainly cooled down after the flurry of goals, but Czechia has the upper hand, leading SOG, 16-9

#CZEvsSUI #Olympics @dailyfaceoff.bsky.social

Just over a minute after Switzerland's Laura Zimmerman tied the game, Natalie Mlynkova finds a loose puck in the slot (not ideal for SUI)

2-1 Czechia 8:33 into the 1st

#CZEvsSUI #Olympics @dailyfaceoff.bsky.social

Czechia scores first!

Who? Kristyna Kaltounkova, of course

1-0 just 92 seconds into the game

#CZEvsSUI #Olympics @dailyfaceoff.bsky.social

Both "backups" for Czechia and Switzerland today, as Michela Hesova is in net for the Czechs

Puck is down
