It's available for each separate game, just click on the score in "skóre" column.

Ah, that's neat. So I've checked all the games Svozil played in the Extraliga and there's literally only one where he had more than 1 minute SH TOI (but even then he played less than four of the other five defencemen).

Domenic Lunardo (The Hockey Writers) on Stanislav Vrhel:

"He’s a dynamic, two-way centerman with a real intense, competitive edge to his game. He also possesses a unique combination of skill and power which should serve him well on the smaller ice surfaces across the OHL. At 17 years of age, he stands at 6-foot-0, 174 pounds, and is still waiting to fully “fill out” as a player. (...) Vrhel loves to compete for both space and loose pucks. He’s shifty, flashy, and loves to get in on the forecheck."

Eugene Helfrick: "As a big-bodied defenseman, it’s impossible to miss Michael Krutil while he’s on the ice. (...) He is a fluid, smart skater who understands how to use his size to influence the game."

Have yet to see a report on Krutil that correctly describes his playstyle.

Not the most encouraging... mabye 4 guys to a maximum of 8.

As always, no Dmen to be found... at best 2 get taken in the late rounds.

The Malik's were looking promising a few years ago and really dropped. Goalies take forever so I'm happy with Bednar but we're talking 4 years from an NHL start if ever.

I was high on Kubicek but he dropped like a stone.

I really enjoeyd Klikorka but he doesn't seem to be in the conversation at all.

Pytlik started as a first rounder and plummetted down.

I really like Novak and hope the Oil take him in the 3rd round.

Hope Mysak goes in round 1 for a little bit of excitement tonight but he's all over the place for rankings... Shame my Oil pick at 14, too early to nab him.

Up to 6... now just hoping for Kubicek and Klikorka and maybe an overager or 2?

Mysak, Pytlik, Bednar, Dobes, Novak and Krutil.

I feel like 2 goalies get drafted every year.. it's pretty impressive.

No idea who Jakub Konecny is but good for him... he was taken in O. Kase and O. Palat territory.

On a good note... 3 C's were taken.
2 Goalies were taken.
1 winger
1 Dman

It's the 1 Dman that is upsetting. It's been more than 10 years and the best we can do is a Dman in round 4.

Some high praise for 04 Dman Tomas Hamara.

Svozil, Jiricek 2021 draft
Hamara 2022 so far

2 higher end Dmen coming? I'll take anything!

I was thrilled that Zboril got a 1 way contract. I think he finally cracks the NHL this year. Masin is off to a good start as well. Maybe he can get traded out from Tampa.
