Svozil missed the pass and there is your dagger

 

[Czechboy]

Kudos to Swedes.. we have had a lot of pressure and chances..

Either a Sweden blocks it or walstedt swallows it up. Very solid combo

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Nice snipe for a 7th-rounder.

 

[Czechboy]

And a post.lol

Should’ve waited on their timeout. Just wasted that icing call.

 

[Prntscrn]

Last few seconds with Monten boys! Take it all in

 

[Chainshot]

Congratulations to Sweden!

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Congrats to both teams.

What’s with this barbarism after the final whistle?

Must be Canadians involved.

I've noticed both this and the Hlinka, everyone was really pissy with one another the last few weeks. EVERYONE.

 

[Czechboy]

Congrats Sweden... Well deserved. Walstedt allowed 2 goals in the final 2 games and our goal was a fluke

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Rosen's goals / 60 minutes played in this tournament must be pretty gaudy.

 

[Czechboy]

I liked the team... Loved the D core.

Suchanek was good

Kulich was very good
Mysak was better than expected (I think this ends his junior run for th Czechs)

I don't think we are a medal threat at xmas but most this team is coming back... Sale joining might help and hopefully a healthy Brabenec.

Tough to just shut down those competitive juices sometimes.

The hockey world needs more Czech teams competing for a medal. Hopefully the recent momentum will continue.

So czechs made 4 semis in a row at worlds, U18, hlinka and here... 1 bronze.

I'm thrilled we are making semis but we are still a step below the big 4

19 (?) players returning for a medal-round team is looking good I'd say.

 

[Czechboy]

Just read a tweet that we played 7 games here and won 2. Slovakia and US... That's it lol

Jan Tomas Montén, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm not so sure... We only won 2 matches here and I expect Slovakia and Germany to be better. As well as the Swedes and Canada. Finn's were pretty stacked here. So was US.

Congrats to Sweden! They were really good when they needed to be.
See you at xmas in the round robin.

Jiricek makes some baffling decisions.

I feel like I get what he's trying to do in every decision but he looks like he's playing at half strength out there and the execution isn't good.

That's my take too... He wasn't 100 percent. I do find it funny to consistently see him and svozil behind the other teams net.lol

 

[SantosHalper]

Congrats team Sweden, i raise my Odens puck for you guys. And congrats to the Red Wings prospects Edvinsson, Wallinder, Niederbach and Bednar.

Tough loss for team Czechia but they are getting closer to ending the drought.

Czech Republic and the 4th place, name a more iconic duo.

 

[czechcanadian]

Really liked Hamara tonight. The defense as a whole is pretty good compared to other years. They’ll all be back at Xmas I think.
If we add Sale and Brabenec, we could do fairly well. Hopefully Jiricek will be at 100%. He’s the X factor that we need.
