GDT: [WJC] Czechia vs Slovakia, 2pm EST, 9/8/22

[Hemsky001]

God, the Slovaks are playing like ass now, so weak on the puck and just letting guys float by them.


Wheres their fight gone?

Don't wanna be disrespectful, but there actually wasn't any real fight, it was mainly the Czechs being asleep in the first period.

 

[tmlmatus]

yeh, that Slovak D is embarrassing.

 

[tobu]

It’s been Czechs all game long with a handful of Slovak flashes in the early half. Slovaks look gassed now, and it’s just game 1.

Possibly but geez, they aren't that bad that some of the stuff happening out there can't be prevented, it's just straight lack of intensity sometimes IMO.

The Slovak d have lost the plot completely..

Bad turnover at the Slovak blueline made much worse by aggressively contesting the puck in a situation with a high chance of failure. Just terrible decision-making.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Not sure if Czechs good or Slovaks just really really bad. With Slaf and Nemec out I have a hard time seeing them being competitive in this tourney.

That's a shame. It would be good for hockey as a whole if the Slovaks were competitive.

 

[Kryten]

Sure, knee your own goalie in the face

Slovaks just have incredibly bad defense, without a decent outlet pass or the ability to carry out the puck; the offense can't really do much.

But yeh, I wouldn't expect much out of Slovakia this tournament.

 

[Summer Rose]

Okay, what am I supposed to do with my life until Latvia vs. Finland now?

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Bad decision by Jiricek. This game is wrapped up, and now Slovakia has a small opening.

 

[Mikeshane]

Why waste time.

 

[Hemsky001]

They're back in the game, just like that out of our stupidity. How classic.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Down by 1 with 6 minutes left? With the way Slovakia has played, they'll happily take that.

 

[Ginger Papa]

As an old Goalie I always cringe when I see a defender push/steer a forward back into the Keeper. It’s like friendly fire on the ice….

Edit:
Slovaks score to keep it a game.

Watch this game again.

 

[Ace]

Yikes

 

[Hemsky001]

Oh my god, we can't catch a break. lmao

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Czechs - wtf are you doing?

 

[Jukurit]

Czechs are doing a lot of "Oopsie!"

 

[Kryten]

Nice squeeze

 

[Summer Rose]

What are the Czechs doing?

 

[Nevins]

How is Dalibor DVORSKY playing?

 

[hockey20000]

[Kryten]

Tie game
