GDT: Group A - May 10 - Czech Republic vs Russia

[Jakk123]

Glad to hear Pastrnak and Krejci will play, I am looking forward to the game. I think Czechs will win 3:2, they always play their hearts out against Russia.

 

[Healthy DiPietro]

Pastrnak and Krejci tip the scales, 4-3 Czechs.

 

[Caser]

Only changes in Russia lineup comparing to the previous game's lineup are that Koshechkin replaces Shestyorkin as a starter again and Nikita Soshnikov is added as 13th forward.

Pastrňák with 6 points Haha

 

[Kshahdoo]

Barabanov looks very good at the tournament so far.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Nesterov with a quick slapper after a good individual effort by Barabanov, 1-0 Russia.

 

[kudymen]

Great pass Rittich and Krejčí ties it with a top shelf wrister

 

[BlitzSnipe]

1-1, Czechs score. Judging by how Russia is playing right now, they're going to lose.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Barabanov is the best player on the Russian team right now.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

This is going to be a blowout victory for the Czechs, our defence is pathetic.

 

[Chainshot]

The Czechs with Krejci and Pastrnak look dynamite.

 

[kudymen]

Whenever I hear the name Barabanov I am suspicious, quite electric today. Good period, our (CZE) forechecking really surprised me. In a good way.

 

[Jablkon]

Is Chytil playing?

Yes, that's what gives Team Russia most trouble, and so far the Czechs are using this to their advantage. By the looks of it, the Czechs are going to win.

I think that them joining also had a big effect on all 4 lines.

 

[vnahodil]

Is Chytil playing?

Haven't noticed him yet.

 

[that is unfortunate]

Is Chytil playing?

0 ice time in the 1st

 

[czechmate]

I hope we get to see a Czech powerplay tonight

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Russian defence is worrying me right now, they're leaving key players unguarded.

Whether we do or no, I mainly wanted to see some noticeable improvement in our play, looking good so far.. Lets just hold on to it, I got a feeling the Russian coaching staff and their 1st line will sooner rather than later find a way how to exploit our D play. We will see

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Wow, what a combination, great goal by Grigorenko . 2-2.

yeah that was one nice pass

 

[kudymen]

Krejčí Pastrňák are magic.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Oh my lord, utter chaos in our defence, what is this?
