GDT: Game 16: Czech Republic Vs United States | 1PM EST 7PM CET | USA 4 - 3 CZE OT

[Vijo Morganstein]

That's a scummy move and against IIHF rules. Czech should've had their powerplay nullified.

Also calm the hell down with the melodramatic sarcasm.

US proceeded to move a stick in the lane as well, so it evens out.

 

[NyQuil]

3 on 3, it's basically man-to-man coverage, you can't let the player you are covering walk into the slot like that uncovered.

I’ve been beat by those before.

When the initial pass is made, there’s a split second where you watch the pass and your man gets that extra step and he’s gone.

 

[Snippit]

Canada - Slovakia
USA - Switzerland
Russia - Finland
Czech Rep - Sweden

Yup this is probably what's going to happen.

Canada-Slovakia/Russia Finland would be one half of the bracket, Czech-Sweden/USA-Switzerland the other

 

[TopC0rner]

Germanys best roster in years also does not deserve to play Kazakhstan

Should be Slovakia - Kazakhstan for the relegation round.

I must've missed it but I can concede the point. Not gonna dig for a replay stream.

 

[Favster]

lmao do that 5v5 kid

You do realize that he's one of the best 5 on 5 point producers in the NCAA right? Ya he's having a rough tournament but to say that he can't produce 5 on 5 is completely false.

Czechs played their hearts out and I respect that a lot. The Czech team played up to its potential and got that crucial point - thats what should matter most. Hope that Jenik isn't out for the tourney, if so that would be a huge blow to our team and quite a shocker.

Congrats to US team for the win! The game got more even towards the end but the difference between our teams is and was still obvious today. You've got the quality players that are able to capitalize on those crucial chances, even if the momentum isn't on your side. Good luck for the rest of the tournament!

 

[HanSolo]

HAHA! Scummy move???? Whaaah! Whahh!

Lol ok

Much respect to the Czechs. Love the passion of the fans. Love you all. Good luck tomorrow. Mwuah.

 

[ASPIFC]

So now Czechs need to beat Canada for us. One loss point is not making any difference but not happy how we played after first period. First period was more or less good but way too many missed chances. PP was horrible. 1/7 is not going to bee good enough when elimination round starts. Disallowed goal was 50/50 situation and honestly this victory feels bit undeserved.

No disrespect but Czechs without their number one goalie and two best forwards should not challenge us like that. Lets hope Finland beat Switzerland so least QF opponent should be good for us. Competition is harder tho. I don't remember that there has ever been preliminary round without easy games.

Not saying it's an easy play, especially since 3 on 3 is seldom played, but you got to keep the inside against your man.

Game winner brought to you by UW, amirite?

Just need to beat Russia... OT or regulation and they're gone... I think.

 

[SabresSharks]

So there's a rumor about another division in this tourney. Can anyone confirm or deny?

 

[HanSolo]

Credit where it's due though, the Czechs play a strong game and didn't make this one easy.

Only further highlights the absurdity of this tournament's group "balancing"

For sure.. States were great. 5 posts, 2 missed empty nets. Congrats to them... I think the win allows them to avoid Finland/Sweden.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Nice try by the Czech's. Good to see Caufield get one.

You think Russia beats Germany in OT?

I would worry if I were Canadien fan considering he has been pummeled on 5v5, I hope he goes Goalfield mode in the playoffs

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Czechs played great. Crowd was awesome.

With all due respect to the kid, it's this tournament that people care about.

If this lights a fire under him, and he starts to contribute more in regulation play, I think people will love it. But it would be a shame if this goal was the highlight of his tournament.

 

[Doshell Propivo]

This game could have been 5-0 in the first. A couple of bounces and some strong play by the Czechs salvage a well deserved point. Better team won but it was a wonderful game.

 

[Lemmiwinks]

That's a scummy move and against IIHF rules. Czech should've had their powerplay nullified.

Also calm the hell down with the melodramatic sarcasm.

So you want the goal to be called off on a technicality after the previous goal was waved off on a technicality?
Also scummy is a bit much lol.

 

[OKOptimistic]

I don't think getting 2 or 3 points made a difference for us but we f***ed up the teams in the bottom lmao you welcome

 

[hockey20000]

the regulation round should vs kaz vs Slovakia after the way Slovakia played the switz today its embarrassing that one of these group b teams got to play Kaz whle Slovakia gets pounded 8-1 in a qf.
