Guys I openly question ... Sklenicka, Hrubec and Jerabek as a 20 minute guy on PP1.
Guys that shit the bed in the first period.. Sklenicka, Hrubec and Jerabek on the PP.
Czechs played amazing. The penalty call was questionable IMO. Still, He didn't exactly roof it and Hrubec needs to be better. 2 goals on 4 shots.
Sklenicka (and Moravcik) are 2 guys I hate seeing on National team... always 'something'. I like Jerabek but not on my top pair and as a leader.
Sedlak needs to bury a few as he's played great. Frolik with Zohorna's is a nice look. I honestly think we played great... but are down 2-0.
Congrats to Denmark.. I didn't know this was their first Olympics and they have a lead. I love Ehlers and wish them well (yes I know Ehlers is in the NHL and not playing today).
I was very open to Pesan... I'm starting to think, he's not very good as a coach. I'm tired of former NHLer's running the club. We are run like the Oilers with shiny forwards dumb management and weak D. Hrubec is an excellent goalie but he just has never stood out for me on NT.
Having said all that... go Czechs go.. keep doing what you are doing. I always thought it'd be a 1 goal game. It'll be impressive if the Danes beat us in Women's and Men's hockey at the Olympics.
I would've started Bartosak in 2nd. Hrubec was off for a long time in isolation and didn't even practice.
