Czech's Looked Pretty Good

[SpitsOHL89]

Anyone else impressed with how the Czechs looked tonight? They appear to be a solid team which is nice because they have never really been a factor in this tournament. I was really impressed with their physicality from both the forwards and D, and also thought they showed a quick transition game. They might not be overly skilled up front but their D seemed to move the puck pretty well. If that game is any indication I think they might make some noise in the tourney, maybe pull off an upset or two.

I was very impressed with their play, they kept cool heads and if they can find a way to score they could surpise. Really liked Vicour and Hlinka. What can people tell me about Hlinka, the kid moves for a big guy and has some puck skills.

I am still mad as hell about the Oilers not drafting Vincour, alot of us Oil fans wanted us to pick the first real good player from the Oil Kings.

I think, we (Czechs) have very good goalkeepers. Sedlacek is #1 in Zlin and he plays very well in his second season with the first team.
Furch and Francouz has experiences with Extraleague hockey too.
