WC: Canada vs Czechs semi final!

[ORRFForever]

Nobody scores in Buffalo.

Agree - he deserves better.

I doubt this counts, anyway. Looks Offside to me.

Hope the Czechs beat the Americans tomorrow.

Kempny is so bad that its not even funny

Played 24 AHL games and 15 NHL games ... didn't play for over a month and went STRAIGHT to our first pair.lol

 

[CutOnDime97]

Yes, but that was textbook coincidental penalty. Ref is either Pejorative Slured or was managing the game there ...

Doesn't matter. Bad retaliation penalty, ref isn't gonna miss that. As a veteran player, he needs to be smarter.

being well-fed in first decade of 2000 is a part of that, but I know what you mean... it is a pain

Agreed, those were extremely fruiful and maybe even lucky years. The tragedy starts though when you didn't really have the chance to experience this epoch, lol.

 

[Yenn 22]

The dancing or the win?lol

neither of those unfortunately

 

[Czechboy]

Just give Canada the goal.. need to rest up for Bronze!

 

[NyQuil]

LOL, Mike Johnson getting as annoyed with the delay as Ray Ferraro hearing that penalty song.

 

[SaltNPeca]

Any Czech wanna give us your take on this flag saying: Horka nad moravou

Heat over Moravia?
Anything controversial, salty, or notable there?

Mike Johnson is really starting to grow on me this tournament, he's growing into his role as thee colour guy for me this tournament. Funny at times, critical............I like him more each year it seems.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Coaches Challenge on the play

Inconclusive, Good goal. Czechs take penalty

 

[ORRFForever]

Ref # 53 has evil eyes.

Fair (no) call.

 

[QnebO]

Was the ref finnish or someone who learned finnish accent? Anyways just get over with the game. Wish chezia would've given canada harder time and made them use more of their "fuel".

it is just name of the city they came from..

Canada putting the bottom six guys out for this one.

Yeah he’s sort of dry and sarcastic.

He’s done a bunch of Senators games this year and he grows on you.

We had Cuthbert and Ferraro before which was awesome as well.

Getting TSN for our regional games has really paid off recently.

Czechs like to go to events and write the name of their towns/villages on the white part of our flag.

They sure love their John Denver over here.

They were playing it at the Fin-U.s game earlier and I immediately started laughing.

He is a great analyst as well. Actually has nuanced takes and doesn't always just roll with the accepted narrative at the time. Not to say he is always right but seems well thought out and knowledable.

I agree, he's on the ball for the most part and he has some interesting takes on what's going on.

 

[MeHateHe]

Having watched this tournament since the 80s, I can’t remember a Canadian team looking this nonchalant and still getting to the gold medal game.

I agree - I don’t always agree with him but at least he has opinions without being a bit of a clown like O Dog or Kypreos.

Population 2,500 and that pic on the Wikipedia page,
Well, I do know "them" now, great job.

Just saw Nýřany, I drove past it before unknowingly.

 

[JackSlater]

Good effort in that game, young guys looked good. Seems like a streaky edition of Canada this year. Looking forward to the championship game.

 

[snipes]

O Canada.

Youngest team at the tournament if I recall, haven’t double checked. Now off to the Gold medal game.

 

[Czechboy]

Congrats Canada... zero complaints. Glad no one got hurt.

Czechs in this tourney against big 4
Lost to Sweden
Lost to Finland
Defeated USA
Lost to Canada

(lost to Austria)

I agree special teams were the difference.

I'd also argue our D is very special as well.

Good luck against Finland!

 

[jj cale]

well, good game czechs, I think it possibly could have been a different game if they had cashed in on some of those p.p's in the first but alas.

If I had to pick a star for our team today I'd pick the whole team, this was a team victory and everyone did their part.


shout out to Dreidger, he played really well when he had to.
