Slovaks are allways playing with rocket up their ass against us, expecting close matchup.

3-3 after 60 with Czechia sealing the deal on a PP in overtime.

Realistically, Czechia should demolate our defence today. The tournament start for Slovakia with arrival of Simon Nemec.

 

[BigBadBoar]

The Czech team should win but we all know the opening games are always tricky. And Slovakia doesn't have that bad roster as it might seem in some of the pre-tournament games. They have some really gritty, well skating guys, especially among the forward group. Nobody should underestimate them.

We usually have rought start to the tourney but I think this time we will beat Slovakia comfortably. My guess is 4-1. Can´t wait.

 

[Goodman68]

In today's match, Slovakia de facto has a B defense and a goalkeeper. Mandatory victory, otherwise Kari is a dead man with me..

slovaks cant fight against czech without goalies,

 

[jcbio11]

Our D might get exposed today. We need this to be a high scoring, wide open game with lots of back and forth so that our quick offensive players can shine. If this turns into a slow, strategic, defensive duel, I don't like our chances as the Czech D and goaltending is better.

Not even dressing vlejmelka.lol. Seriously?

Hate the d setup. Top 6 is lovely. Like the forward group.

I doubt another nation would healthy scratch Kaut and Vlejmelka for such a big match.

I wanted Canada first.lol. They always suck in first game. Slovakia is going to unleash hell on us!

4-3... No idea who wins. Plating hrubec is just f***en stupid. Career .890 for Czechs. Career .920 for clubs.

 

[Hacketts]

Why no Dalibor?

Looks like the 3rd period of the Oilers/Vegas game.lol

 

[Czechboy]

1 guy only got a penalty?lol I thought IIHF called everything?

I like the call though... Czechs were stirring shit up.

Toggled over and see the scrum, how is there only one call?

 

[martygod12]

Lol good start and then of course absolutely stupid penalty ... why are all of our teams so mentally ill lol

 

[vlady]

Gimme Chrome!

 

[martygod12]

And of course 0:1 we are so Pejorative Slured omg .. doesnt matter if U18 uU20 or senior, our players are just mentals

 

[Czechboy]

Nice goal... great shot. Hrubec won't finish above .900. I know this because he never finishes above .900 for us. . Jordan with a nice screen too! Olympic PTSD!

 

[Chainshot]

Helluva shot.

No kidding.. that was nuts. I'd agree that Slovakia should've got the PP out of it though. I don't even mind how engaged the Czechs were.. those were our leaders.. NHL guys and grizzled Euros. They're clearly here to fight.

Now if only we didn't start a shitty goalie.

 

[martygod12]

Nice goal wow

 

[vlady]

we can't protect the lead for shit

 

[Chainshot]

Beauty passing play.

 

[Czechboy]

Simon Hrubec! YELLOW is national team.. mostly under .900. White is Clubs... mostly above .920. He may end up winning the DEL, LIIGA and SEL before he retires. What he won't do is win much for the Czechs as it is really hard to win a medal with sub .900 goalies.
