WJC: 2020 Slovakia Roster Talk

[Outofbodyinhungary]

Way to go Petrovicky, don’t even give Chromiak an in game shot. They sit him both exhibition games. Yaaaah more dump and chase guys . Btw how the f*** did both Minarik’s make it?

 

[Outofbodyinhungary]

Well @alko was right, gotta give it to him.

 

[alko]

Btw how the **** did both Minarik’s make it

AS i know, one of Minariks played well under Petrovicky. Did a lot points (ok, in Slovakia reality).

 

[Jakk123]

How is there no place for Chromiak on this team? I'm not saying he would make a ton of difference, but I still don't get it. Are Slovak coaches living in some fantasy where we have a lot of offensive talent to choose from? Same shit like last year with Cajkovic.

becuse he is very young, born 2002

Yeah we’re not exactly the talent producing factory. Chromiak should be there above many players selected. He wasn’t even given a shot in the exhibition games

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

becuse he is very young, born 2002

Thats probably the reason, but he's also likely better than a number of players who made it. They did the same thing last year cutting Cajkovic for a lot of bad hockey players.

 

[FinPanda]

Slovakia’s version of old man club making the cut decisions?

 

[alko]

According to Petrovicky, there are lot of areas, he should be better and therefore, it would be unfair to other guys, that are now more skilled.
Dont worry, he will be drafted anyway.

By skilled I’m assuming he means hitting the red line, firing the puck in deep and heading off for a change.

 

[Kamzik]

Could we have one year in which one of our most highly skilled young prospects is not cut from the WJCU20 team? Is that too much to ask for? Year after year....

 

[Outofbodyinhungary]

C - Martin VITALOŠ / RD / Rögle BK J20 A - Róbert DŽUGAN / RW / HK Dukla Trenčín A - Kristián KOVÁČIK / C / HK Dukla Trenčín

 

[Outofbodyinhungary]

Several of these players should never play in the national team ever again. I mean literally banned.

They make Golian look good

 

[slovakiasnextone]

Pretty bad tourney for us and I think next year, we might also have a similar one. But if we don't get relegated next year, we might get one where all of our games are close the year after that (2022). It's what it is.

 

[alko]

There is optimism in regard of 2022. Current top 2002 will be mixed with very promising 2004.

 

[tobu]

So glad this is over. 3 best players of the team Dzugan, Fasko Rudas, Stacho and I think this was deserved. Glad we'll see Fasko Rudas and Stacho next year, hoping for improvement.

 

[Outofbodyinhungary]

Fasko Rudas is 2000 he won’t be back. The funniest thing about this is that stacha didn’t get in until swiss game and was still our best defender erghhh

Fasko Rudas is 2000? Damn, thought otherwise, my bad.

 

[Outofbodyinhungary]

Yeah unfortunately. Cajkovic was a major disappointment, whenever he doesn’t have the puck he is useless and he gets pushed off the puck so easily. This u18 tournament in a couple months should be good tho, I think 2002 age group is strong enough to compete with top teams as evident by Hlinka Gretzky cup a couple months ago

 

[elMatador]

By far the worst display of hockey in long time. Most of these kids cannot manage 2 things at the same time. Skating is the most obvious trouble for all D. Don't understand all that hype about Cajkovic or Hlavaj. Cajkovic is closer to a bust level than a star level. I don't see a single player from this team to even sniff a chance to play in the NHL one day. I think those 2 guys getting in the scrum with Lafreniere at the end of the game was the closest they could ever get to the NHL experience.

I’m pessimistic, but not that pessimistic. If Hlavaj was on any big nation his numbers would be great. Cajkovic was brutal I give you that. Knazko is as a little bit of disappointment, his skating really needs to improve. I thought Stacha looked quite good, he looked better to me than Fehervary did at same age in WJC.

That just sums up the work of the coaching staff. Just laughable

I remember Cernak at 16 in his first WJC being terrible. However despite being very raw his talent was already there. I see no talent in any of these kids, none. Hlavaj having a good numbers in Q means nothing, I wouldn't waste a 7th round pick on him. Knazko having a lot of points in Finland is the same. Those guys were supposed to be a leaders. Their skill and skating should be a level above the rest of the team. They didn't show it at all. And I really doubt that any of these guys have the work ethic or dedication for hockey as high as Chara to work their way up to the NHL.
