Dammit! You beat me to the joke...Even if he was on the roster I'm sure Varada would place him on the 4th line
I was going to write how good Chytil would look on line 4 with Pour and Hrabik.

The nice thing about our D is that they are all Top 3... Bukac to Galvas.. haven't seen much difference. We're very 'even'.

Czechs are lackng quality D... I can't think of any in Slovakia that are that much better. Imo our goalies and forwards are better.
A few years ago we could've used guys like Chara, sekera and visnovksy to make us immideately better but today that really wouldn't help. Halak is about as good as rittich but maybe he would help? I don't see a guy like tatar moving us from 6th in the world to gold medal favourites
At the junior level... I really cant think of many Slovak players that would move the needle for us.
That is my long answer.
My other answer is that we are both very proud nations and are happy to keep separate. Despite our terrible coaches I wouldn't be happy to see a non Czech coach either. Although that is probably what we need.
Varada's obsession with the 99s is obvious unfortunately. Though it would make no difference if they were drafted. Bukac has been drafted and yet he gets outplayed by undrafted Kvasnicka, Mikyska and Gaspar.
Lol at Rangers' management. Act like Chytil is a vital piece of the 1st line and as soon as the Czech team fills in all the roster spots, bench him. Yep, they really couldn't make it without Chytil those two weeks!
Fehervary is better than all of our defensemen by a fair margain. Not enough to make this team contender, especially with the coaching we have, but he would be a great addition.
Something to keep in mind: Despite hosting the WJC next year, Czechs can still be relegated. Wouldn't it be hilarious if the strongest team in 15 years lost to Denmark and then twice to Kazachstan/Slovakia, only to get relegated and miss a home WJC?
Feherváry is a very good defenceman, but he is also by far, far, far the best player on the Slovak roster. Beside him, Slovakia has not much to offer. However, they should beat Kazakhstan, as well as the Czechs should beat Denmark.
Regarding the possibility of the Czechs being relegated/playing the relegation games: Of course, it can happen, but I believe guys will beat Denmark without any major problems. It will be all about themselves: If they play the game they certainly are capable of, there is no way for Denmark. The gap in the players' individual quality is simply too giant. They can lose the game only if they lose in their own heads first. I believe they will avoid this danger, beat Denmark, and score some goals to gain confidence. I don't see any need to project catastrophic scenarios now: They lost to Russia in a close game, and they lost to Canada in the back-to-back game, which, taking into account the superb qualities Canada possesses, is unpleasant but not disastrous. It is a pity that they didn't earn any points from the RUS and CAN games, but still, there is no need for the guys to feel ashamed.
Yes, but Denmark have who is supposed to be a very good goalie, all he needs to do is get hot.
Sadly yes, how could the Czech Fed give them the wrong coach, should have kept last years.
Well, this coach led the 1999s in their U18 season and he did a good job. I was happy when they announced he will be the coach. Nobody could have predicted it would be this bad.
Really hope Czechs will finally change something about that horrendous powerplay.. Why has Jakub Galvas not been even tried there!? Just plain stupidity from Mr. Patrik Elias.
Really, but Pesan did a good job last year finally getting them to the SF and playing for a medal.

Yeah, really. Varad'a won gold at Ivan Hlinka with this core, so we were all naturally happy to have him. But it seems that success at the U-18 level does not imply success at the U-20 level, as we also witnessed with another successful U-18 coach by the name of Jakub Petr. Ironically, he had more medals than Varad'a at the U-18 level.....
Winning at the U-20 level is an entirely different kettle of fish, and it seems our coaches haven't really mastered it just yet.
Lines for today's game against Denmark:
Kern - Kaut - Zadina
Kvasnicka - Galvas
Pekar - Necas - Plasek
Gaspar - Mikyska
Pour - Hrabik - Kondelik
Kral - Bukac
Jenik - Lauko - Machala
Salda - Hladonik
Dostal
Skarek
Kern - Kaut - Zadina
Kvasnicka - Galvas
Pekar - Necas - Plasek
Gaspar - Mikyska
Pour - Hrabik - Kondelik
Kral - Bukac
Jenik - Lauko - Machala
Salda - Hladonik
Dostal
Skarek
Some improvement but why Kern with Kaut and Zadina? Isn't that the worst possible choice?

Kaut with Zadina should be sweet though. Pekar and Necas could create some really good chances and goals as well

To be fair, Pour has been fine. As surprising as his nomination was, he is one of the few that really hustles and leaves everything on the ice.

It's not that I think he's bad but his ceiling is pretty clear. Lauko can play a game like Pour but Pour can't play a game like Lauko.
