Blumel.. first time I've seen him. I feel like Varada needs to give a few guys like Blumel Mysak and Pekar a little more rope.

There is nothing funnier than seeing glum faces light up immediately upon seeing themselves on the jumbotron.

They should use those things for treating depression.

As much as I love when the tournament is in Canada and the entire crowd is Canadian, these European crowds are sure fun to watch. Most passionate fans in the world imo.
I mentioned this in a different thread but I think Canada needs to go back to smaller cities for this tourney... not the NHL cities. I get its about profit but I'm positive there are about 20 cities in Canada that would have insane atmospheres... London, Sarnia, Saskatoon, Hamilton and I probably missed a few very obvious ones.

Do I wish Slovakia good luck now or wait till the GDT. Talk about a rough draw.

Still feel bad for the German's. They'll have a good team next year but no Seider.

Man Czechs will be really solid too. Will have a ton of returning players plus Novak
Yup... we should have a very solid squad next year... Svozil should be on that team as well. Both Malik and Parik are still eligible I think plus Bednar as a third.

Kubicek should be back with Klikorka and Svozil. I think Has is eligible too!

Mysak, Pitlyk, Raska, Novak

I'm not saying Gold or anything but it could be a very good squad.

So the only other game I'm really excited to see is at 6:30am? that sucks. I think the Finn/US game will be a classic.

Czechs deserve a gold medal at this tournament soon, their back to back triumphs in 2000 and 2001 is too long a wait.
Baby steps... we're not losing because of bad luck, we're losing because we're behind the times. I'd be happy with consistent Top 3 finishes in Pool play and the occasional quarter win.

Hope Has is okay.. that'd be devastating too.. we'd only ahve 5 D for Sweden. We're a big enough underdog as it is.

Congrats Canada on winning your pool... well deserved. Good luck against Slovakia! Hope Laf gets back in as well.

Cheers, tough game with all the PPs but the fans enjoyed themselves nonetheless.

I've been to two WJC tournaments, one in Canada and one in USA. I think that Czech Republic is next on my list. I'll probably go next time it's over there. Looks like a good crowd and pretty convenient location.
