GDT: Group C • Feb. 12 • Czech Republic vs. Sweden

[Unfriendly Ghost]

This could be a trap game for Sweden. They have the stronger overall roster, but the gap isn't massive.

 

[GPF]

Super excited for all hockey games when does the game actually start? Any possible streams?

firstrowsports.eu

I watch a lot of the Olympic stuff over it since the Spanish commentators, well ... don't even wanna hear the hockey guys

 

[mattihp]

I hope the Swedes remember that the dirtbag who knocked out Henrik Sedin is playing for the Czechs.

Crush 'em.

Yeah. They'll send their big bad after him. Jimmie Ericsson

 

[CorgisPer60]

So, is Pavelec starting in net for the Czechs? Expect at least 3 goals to go in then.

 

[Taelin]

I'm starved for hockey, so I'll be watching this at 1AM my time.

I figure he won't even dress for this game.

That's the attitude. There you can see what we go through here in CET .. especially comes May/June

3rd goalie, then? Huh. I saw a tweet after I posted that stated Pavelec wouldn't start. It's all up in the air now. I'm not familiar with the other 2 goalies.

The news are all over the place: Kovar will start, Salak will back him up. Kovar is good. Not great but good. I expect him to be the starter when preliminary round is over.

[Urbanskog]

Cheering for the CR and Jagr.

'dis gunna be good

 

[Xokkeu]

Just bought some tickets to this one. let's get this party started!

 

[Pgust]

Man, I just woke up pumped! Heja Sverige!

Who's that, Cristiano Ronaldo?

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

I like the move not to play Pavelec as well, lets see what goaltenders have the better angles on the bigger ice surface. Even Lundqvist will have a period of adjustment.

I highly recommend seeing if this site works/carries the game tomorrow. I've always had great quality.

I will ... thx ... even though the ones on firstrowsports.eu are usually very good as well.

Good to have a backup page though

 

[vippe]

At last!

Four long years since last time.. this is my prefered hockeystage...

 

[maclean]

and I don't think Jagr will be quite as effective on big ice.

what makes you think that? jagr's spent a lot of time on the big ice and has been quite effective, perhaps more so with more room to move..
either way the swedes have the obvious edge in this game, it'll be theirs to lose. the czechs are often slow to start tournaments (when they get going at all, in recent years) and without gudas out it pains me to look at that blue line. kaberle is a sieve and i can't say i have much confidence in the coach's son-in-law...
interested to see how the hanzal situation plays out, the swedes don't strike me as a team that could really beat up on someone.

According to Czech media, Hanzal, Hemský and Šmíd will not be playing.

So Barinka and Krajíček are playing? Yeah, we can't lose this. Feel the wrath of this great defensive duo.

their skills will make laugh the swedish players so much, that they'll pee their pants and than they'll couldnt really skate. Great tactics by Alois.
