[Chainshot]

Bednar having a rough start.

Slovaks aren’t even playing well and are up 2-0

Gold medal!

Would have generated far more revenue having this in an area that doesn't have an NHL team imo.

according to our TV empty audience is caused by combination of nice weather and tickets sold in day packets. later evening plays Canada so home fans have tickets but prefer sun to cze/svk game

 

[JackSlater]

Very weird atmosphere. Terrible period so far for the Czech goalie, but otherwise the team doesn't look bad.

 

[hockey20000]

czech offence starting to look better now.. there defence and goalie may lose it for them though

 

[absolute garbage]

Damn, I haven't really been following the rosters, but after that draft of a century I was excited seeing Slovakia's team. But none of those guys are playing!

Assuming they are not injured, it's so stupid. NHL teams should cherish their prospects playing these tournaments.

 

[hockey20000]

is there any team in this tournament who has most of its top players? i heard someone say finland the other day.

 

[Antiillafire]

Slaf would be eating this Czech defense alive

If it wasn't in the middle of summer, I'm sure a bunch of teams would have had no issue with it. But this interrupts summer training and the potential for injury coming in relatively cold is a factor as well.

Finland is not missing any players.

Czechia has Kulich, Hamara, Jiricek and Mysak.
Finland isnt missing much, if any.
Sweden isnt missing much either off the top of my head.
Canada is missing a whole team but its always like that lol.

Its a strong tournament, its mostly just Slovakia. Lame as hell cause thats the best team they wouldve ever had.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Mysak play like Lehkonen.

Just stop it, he's some kind of a mythical creature or something at this point.

he will be by the time hes 24-25 the kids gonna be a stud.

Raymond is a NHL player but sure...

Yeah yeah great, either that or next Yakupov. We can't possibly know yet.

 

[hockey20000]

that was a fun first period tbh would be better if we had a crowd though. i hope they atleast show up for canada games

 

[Ace]

Pretty hilarious period for the Czechs. Botched every open shot and the goalie let in anything that got close.

 

[jj cale]

Czechs as close as possibly can be to make it 2-1 right at the very end of the period.

 

[weklof]

Why hasn't Latkoczy been drafted? Looking good today and remember him playing well in previous tournaments as well. Suprised noone took a flyer on him in the later rounds.

 

[Brunkmeister]

Raymond is a NHL player but sure...

Could still have been eligible here. Not saying Sweden would win gold with the players they are missing but the chances sure would have been a lot better.

 

[hockey20000]

damn i am surprised they got james and bob out for the tournament i figured they would have to go for someone else this time of year lol

 

[BigBadBoar]

Rough period for Jan Bednar. He was facing maybe 4 dangerous shots, allowed 2 goals. A goalie's nightmare.
