GDT: Canada vs Czech Republic Czechia Czechzilla @ 1pm PT/ 4pm ET/ 10pm CEST

He's not 5'6".

you’re right - on a good day he’s 5’6”.

He’s lucky there wasn’t a combine last year.

He plays bigger than his height indicates though.

 

[jj cale]

Well, one more to go.

Are we set on lines yet?

[DamonDRW]

He will have Drysdale, Terry, Zegras, McTavish, Gaucher, Perreault as teammates. He gets to be on an up and coming team.

out of this crap only Zegras is a real deal. The rest is HC-PR-ed nonames.

I read on here that Canada would NOT medal so clearly the Czechs are gonna come back & win.

 

[Bounces R Way]

GG Czechia, will root for you guys for the bronze

Canada too stronk

 

[DamonDRW]

what a win, guys! this could be once in a lifetime!

 

[MeHateHe]

I have a better idea, old-timer.

 

[NyQuil]

what a win, guys! this could be once in a lifetime!

Woo, thanks!

Glad you were able to share in the magic.

 

[HabSgt]

I hope Czechia wins the Bronze, good team & work ethic. Liked Mysak (of course) & their goalie Suchanek is really good.

I want a Tissot watch...

 

[DamonDRW]

why this crap first first? I want to see something competitive like Sweden-Finland but it start at 3.00 am.... f*** these Canadian tournaments...

 

[Statsy]

Shots and possession were fairly close, but not scoring chances. Canada deserved the win.

I want a Tisso watch...

Also rooting for them for the Bronze.

The game shown was not as bad as the result after two thirds, unfortunately after the reduction came another inexplicably lax game from Jiříček and the decision was made. A special match, it wasn't bad in terms of play, but we were clearly worse in the decisive moments. As if we didn't trust ourselves at all and made stupid mistakes in defense and weren't able to make better use of good chances in attack.

 

[Kopitar11]

Love the way the Czechias players are carrying themselves.
Its going to be nice to see them in Winter again, they lose some offence but that D-line is filled with 03-04rs.
Might not see Jiricek if he can take a spot in Columbus but lets hope.
Good game but at the end Canada is just too strong and are playing at their homeground.
Its going to be a nice game between Finland - Sweden, lets hope that the fans are showing up for this one.

 

[DamonDRW]

also, because of Canada and my love for the hockey, it seems I remember your anthem better than mine.

on a serious note, congrats. well deserved. but still there is no competion which is sad to see.

Plenty of flights available.

 

[Mikeshane]

Strong offense, solid goaltending and hanging on defensively. It's got it done so far, one game to go.

 

[hockey20000]

my 5-2 prediction was right

 

[jj cale]

Yep, I'm all for the Czechs in the bronze game.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

He's not 5'6".

Here is Stankoven standing next to a 6‘1” Shane Wright.

Are you drunk? Terry is an 80 pt forward.

To be fair, he’s the only one not wearing skates.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Maybe someone should make elevator skates.

Mine too, but you don’t see me on here bragging about it… except for right now, of course. (Cough)
