We're on at 9 today.

Haha 6 more hours then. Perfect timing for the Northeast bar videos

Ondrej Pavelec's career NHL record in back-to-backs: 4-17-0, 4.22 GAA, .866 save % on 575 SA. Yikes.

I'm glad some Czech fans believe that it takes just two good games in 3-4 years to deserve a permanent spot in line with Jágr.

I've bad feeling about Brown hurting some key czech player (Plekanec, Krejci, Zidlicky etc.) ... I don't like him he's new Jarkko Ruutu for us (all czechs know what i mean)

I wish 1 beauty and spectacular goal for Pat Kane my favourite USA player

He already sated his thirst for Czech blood with Hertl so you guys should be fine.

 

[zorz]

The US hasnt had a bad game so far. It has to come eventually.

He doesn't hate Czech players imo... he's just goon and sometimes hurt other team player regardless who. Maybe Gudas presence in the lineup will help ... and Hanzal

lets hope you are right

J. Ruutu's thinking before match versus Czech team usualy was ..."blood, blood, blood, brains, brains ..."

Call me crazy call me nuts. But the country stands united! 4 hour count down brothers for Pre game. Can't wait for puck drop!

I didn't say he hates czech players he's good player ... but he's just too tough for our "softer" players

 

[SenzZen]

I think the US domination tour continues.
from what I've seen from both teams the only chance CZE has is when they can capitalize on Browns stupidity.

Yeah I'm thinking Gudas takes a couple of healthy runs at Phil. Whether he catches him or not is another story.

7-1 US

Hurry up 12:00! Let's get this game going!

Czech please!

 

[Paxon]

4 - 2 US in a game the Czechs come to play. Should be a tough test.

 

[Paxon]

The US hasnt had a bad game so far. It has to come eventually.

They've had poor stretches. I think this is the sort of team that straightens itself out and isn't prone to having a bad game from start to finish. A lot of the guys on this team are hard-working character guys. I know that sort of thing gets overstated a lot in hockey but most of these guys put their head down and work their way through bad stretches.

 

[GPF]

4 - 2 US in a game the Czechs come to play. Should be a tough test.

my prediction, too ... plus: the fourth one is an empty netter

 

[Back in Black]

Good luck to either of you as CANADA will be waiting for you....

 

[Kulleroinen*]

Good luck Czech. Kick those doodle *****.

 

[Minny Shinny]

Arranged my day so I could watch this in the quiet of my own office from 12-2. No manner of humanity or natural disaster will extricate me from my desk during those hours. Nothing.

 

[Minny Shinny]

A little piece of 1980 expected to be in the house.

@usahockey: Olympic gold medalist Bob Suter (father of Team USA’s Ryan Suter) scheduled to be in the house for USA-Czech game tonight. #DawnsEarlyLight

 

[Alicat]

Go USA!

I do want Krejci to play well but USA trumps Bruins players all day, every day.

 

[dryz]

I wish we scored 4 against Miller I don't think we will get over 2 however

Miller is starting?

 

[Tomas W]

Prediction: 5-3 USA with the last goal as an EN

 

[kudymen]

Miller is starting?

The OP says so, I haven't heard any other info on that yet

 

[DrunkElkCZ]

Quick is confirmed as a starter

 

[Minny Shinny]
