PGT: Game 9: Czech Republic 1 - Russia 2

[Melkor]

I

His linemates are rendered ineffective exactly due to what you just described. And those are your two biggest weapons arguably. That first line is also not getting a ton of ice time.

Would think Bragin wants to ride them when they gonna need to put games away. 3rd periods, last minutes, PPs etc.

 

[Wooren]

I like this thought but for czech coaches it sounds too much far-sighted to be the case.

I fear the lines are simply a result of "balanced" offense and Varada's love affair with the 99s. Lauko and Pekar are top 6 forwards on this team.

Podkolzin is a heck of a player

 

[shtorm2005]

He looks 25 years old.

 

[FrankGallagher]

Podkolzin is playing even better than I expected him to, he's gonna destroy this tournament next year

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

Zadinas been invisible

 

[AtNightWeFly]

That actually looks more like his teammate Romanov. He's 14.

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

Calm down Ray, he's getting a harmless signature

 

[crashnburnluder]

Zadinas been invisible

yea, hard to play 3 on 5 every shift...

Podkolzin is a heck of a player

He does look pretty good doesn't he?

 

[snipes]

Romanov is such a beauty

 

[JetsFan815]

Hopefully that guy taking autographs in the PB asks Ferraro for his at the end of the game.

 

[Hemsky001]

lmao that signing session

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

Romanov reminds me of Alexei Emelin

 

[jj cale]

Romanov!!

My Habs may just have hit a home run with that guy, he's got good potential.

 

[TopC0rner]

The Czech could use a D with decent offensive awareness on the back-end. They are just poor supporting/giving options to the forwards in the offensive zone.

 

[JetsFan815]

These jerseys are way too similar to each other. It's annoying

 

[crashnburnluder]

i dont think i have Zadina receive a pass, the only time he has the puck is if he gets it himself...

 

[Swipes]

Yeah, these lines suck. Wake up Varada!

 

[Svenhart2008]

Kravtsov playing out of position really shows very timid and unsure compared to his normal self.

 

[snipes]

Romanov!!

My Habs may just have hit a home run with that guy, he's got good potential.

He’s a good skater, looks like a guy that is built for the faster pace and style of play on NA ice.

 

[crashnburnluder]

Hey now, these lines are working great, they have amounted for 1 goal in near 100 minutes of regulation hockey. The Swiss had more vs Canada lol

 

[Wooren]

We are gonna get shutout, aren't we.

 

[Absolut]

Romanov is a beauty. How long before the Habs trade him for a French-speaking winger? I kid, I kid...

Kravtsov playing out of position really shows very timid and unsure compared to his normal self.

Kravtsov is holding so much back so far in the WJC
He’s a completely different player with Traktor, it’s pretty likely that he doesn’t want to get hurt so he’s not making crazy rushes/plays like he usually does.
