GDT: Bronze, Cesko vs Finland, 9am est

[Gordy Elbows]

Love the WJC / junior hockey but, figuring the betting odds is tougher than the Special Olympics.
Well done Czechia!

 

[novisor]

Not saying its causation (maybe a bit) but has any team benefitted from Russia's exclusion more than the Czechs? 17 consecutive tournaments (18 years) without a medal and now Silver and Bronze back to back. Semi final appearances (4th in 2022) in all 3 tournaments without Russia.

 

[SenzZen]

Is there a better word to encapsulate Junior hockey than "momentum"?

Congrats to Czechia for taking the bronze.

What a way to end a fantastic world juniors career for Kulich. Player of the game. Captain of the team. Back to back medals.

 

[GettingYourMoms]

Not going to lie.. said it before the game.. I cared about the bronze.lll

Ecstatic.. three straight semis... Two medals in a row... Next year's team looks very promising ... Some good players that may make NHL.

Also, we belonged here. Beat Canada, took US to shootout, beat Finland. We hung with Sweden for a long time too.

f***en beautiful! Great tourney

Crazy thing is that next year our team is going to be better with Ds and with much better forwards. Also Kulich delivered when it mattered the most, feeling pretty stupid right now.

 

[Czechboy]

Thank you Kulich.. some questioned you yesterday. I did not.lol. Now go crack buffalo and hopefully Rochester let's you go to the world's in Prague instead of Calder cup. Lots of room for you and jiricek on the Prague squad!

 

[FinPanda]

The one coach responsible for our special teams should be fired

 

[Voodoozz]

F*ck me, a comeback for the ages and I'm watching Kladno instead...

 

[Breakers]

Imagine being Finland

just so emotional and you have to listen to this DJ play that annoying beat on repeat
“Un tst un tst un tst un tst”

just blasting it for 10 straight minutes

 

[pigpen65]

How many points did Kulich have in the 3rd period?

His international career is insanely good for Czech standards. Medals, MVPs and top 5 scoring all over the U18s, hlinkas and here. He has more medals than all our current NHL players.lol

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

What a meltdown of the century.
Mikkola is still a nobody coach.

Dear jääkiekkoliitto ( Finnish hockey association ) FIRE THAT BOZO Mikkola immediately.

I think Melovský, Becher and Štancl are tied with Kulich.

may 21st! your going down !

 

[Czechboy]

may 21st! your going down !

I think we will both have very strong squads this year. Your Canuck wife's love Prague.

 

[matsqq]

This game is very easy to predict, it will be very even until the last period when finnish sisu kicks in, so result by period will be :

cszechs - fin
(1-0)
(1-0)
(0-7)

on aggregate 2-7

Eh, I meant Czechs are the ones with "sisu" nowadays :

czechs-fin
(1-2)
(2-3)
(5-0)

on aggregate 8-5

Complete irrelevance. Canada and the US U20s are much better than Russia. We beat both and took both close in the other game in this and the immediately preceding tournament.

Russia are welcome to come back. All they need to do is stop their genocidal war of aggression (which is supported by many hockey players) and rejoin civilization. Simples.

Can't because technically his contract runs out but they could still do the right thing and not extend it. The problem is that top level coaches apparently are not interested in coaching the team.

 

[Krigsgaldr]

Soooo wtf ??? Lmao had to step out and looks like all hell broke loose here

i would love prague also its a beautiful city haha.

Whole f***ing coaching staff should be fired.
I respect Kimmo Kuhta as a HIFK legend and icon and he's Mr HIFK of all time to me.

I won't ever forget those big and crusial goals what Kuhta scored in 2011 SM liiga playoffs vs Jokerit.
But now he's absolutely wrong place.

 

[Henri M]

I watched from the end of the second and can not comprehend how that team managed to score 5 goals.

 

[Czechboy]

haven’t seen many worse takes than this

What a crazy game for a bronze medal match. I think that collapse was just as bad as the 2011 gold medal match.

Gz to the Czechs and our fav Czechboy. Try not to drunkenly stumble around on the streets and boards too much bud lol.
