[Jason MacIsaac]

This looks really strong to me and if people think it will be a russia, canada and USA dominating then they have something comming.

 

[mazmin]

Doesn't look as strong to me... Kindl? Hromas? Please.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Olesz
Vrana
Steber (new player this season)
Sindel
Polak
Krejci
Kaspar
Frolik

These players will give the czech team so much offense it isn't funny. Frolik is future NHL superstar. After that they can form a checking line with their bigger players. Plus there defefense is filled with older 85 born players. Tack that with Schwarz in nets.......Czechs are scary....again.

 

[Preds666]

Does not impress me that much either. Good team no doubt, but not really close to the big 3 IMO. I recently saw this Czech team being outplayed at times by Russia and Sweden in an U20 tournament. With the exception of Schwarz, Olesz, Kaspar, Kindl.. I believe they had pretty much the strongest roster possible.

Watch out for 88-born Michael Frolik though, he could be a stand out already this winter and is my personal favourite to go No. 1 overall in 2006.

 

[NYRangers]

Any idea what line will Bahensky and Petruzalek play on?

Petruzalek is top 10 in the OHL in points per game and hes only a rookie.

That team was missing the following:

Vrana
Steber
Krejci
Kaspar
Hromas
Schwarz
along with the majority of their defensmen

Petruzalek is a small center.....with Vrana, Olesz and and Sindel at center he may have to play wing. I wouldn't be surprised if Vrana got shifted to LW for the top line.

 

[J17 Vs Proclamation]

Pretty good team. Good offense, solid defense and Goal golatending. One of the best teams this year except for Canada and Russia.

What about this Frolik guy? Isn't he like 16.

He was amazing at the under 20 4 nations tourney considering his age.

I was thinking he would move tot he wing too. Is it possible hes on the top two lines? Hes really surprised me with his stats but I don't know much about him. Being on the top 2 lines would be a great experience.

If Petruzalek makes the team, I think the Czech's will find a way to keep him and Kaspar on a line together. They're awfully familiar with one another. (instant chemistry)

True. I forgot about that.

 

[J17 Vs Proclamation]

He is one yr older than Me meaning he is eligible in 2006. Concensus #1. I that was Brian Little. I know basically nothing about this Frolik kid. What are his strenghts?

 

[Rabid Ranger]

He is one yr older than Me meaning he is eligible in 2006. Concensus #1. I thatb was Brian Little. I know basically nothing about this Frolik kid. What are his strenghts?

Are you saying Brian Little is the consensus #1 for 2006? That's not true at all.

 

[J17 Vs Proclamation]

Are you saying Brian Little is the consensus #1 for 2006? That's not true at all.

No, i'm saying i heard people say Little was #1. What i want to know is how good Frolik is and what are his strengths. If he's playing at the WJC at 16 he has got to be a very good prospect.

 

[Vinland]

From what I have seen it will be a real battle between Little and Frolik. Both are very skilled and both are a little undersized. The size issue isn't to big as both will play in traffic.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

You guy aren't giving Kessel the credit he should have earned. That russian is amazing also.

 

[Vinland]

You guy aren't giving Kessel the credit he should have earned. That russian is amazing also.

You are right about Kessel.. But the thread was about Little and Frolik so that is who I commented on.

 

[cagney]

Frolik seems like an exciting player but it should be pointed out that he hasn't made the team yet.

 

[kruezer]

Not to mention Joensuu, is he going to make the Finnish team?

 

[Epsilon]

Not to mention Joensuu, is he going to make the Finnish team?

He almost made it last year so I'd imagine he will. He's probably the most physically mature of all the top 2006 prospects.

 

[Pekka Lampinen]

He almost made it last year so I'd imagine he will. He's probably the most physically mature of all the top 2006 prospects.

Actually, Joensuu was never even considered back then. Several rosters were named last season to face second tier club teams over the course of the fall but he never played a single U20 game. It was just way, way too early for him.

It's looking good for him now, though. I do believe he'd help the team and he'd still break Lauri Tukonen's modern day Finnish record for the youngest skater in the tournament.

Back on topic, I've never seen Frolík play, but reports seem to indicate that he'll make the team for sure.

 

[leafaholix*]

Jan Steber, can anyone update me on his play lately with Halifax?

I know his stats... just looking to see if he's been using his size and been affective or not.

 

[Douggy]

I honestly think the Czechs will get Silver this year.

IMO:
G - Canada
S - Czech
B - USA
