WJC Bronze Medal GDT: USA vs. Czech Republic

[joejohnstone]

Petr Vrana walks right around the worst player in US WJC history, Jeff Likens and scores.

Jeff Likens is the wrost player I have EVER seen.

 

[ranold26]

Montoya just became a Jim Carey.
Ouch!

 

[Enoch]

Likens ......... ......... Montoya

These two guys almost single-handedly killed the US in this tournament.

 

[ratsgirl]

yey! go Vrana!

 

[Faaxinho]

Likens blows it and Montoya blows it. Vrana scores the winner.
Well, USA played a good third period and they almost scored in OT, but this is hockey. It was Czechs turn.

 

[NYR2]

Really unfortunate loss.

 

[slimer]

Olesz leads the tournament in goals (tied). He is a vast majority of their offense. Without him on the ice the US just mauls Vrana and his other linemates whereas they couldnt if he was out their. The play of the Czechs has evaporated with his loss.

So in this game right now, it would be

OLESZ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

SCHWARZ

But thanks for coming out.

Do you want to reconsider now?

And the Americans season ends on something that epitomizes the tournament.

An awful play by the defence followed by an embarassing goal allowed by Montoya.

Couldn't have put it better myself. Hard to say who looked worse on that play, Likens or Montoya.

 

[Pred303]

amazing...why if that kid even on the ice in that situation??...his man must have scored 12 of the goals the US allowed in this tournament

 

[joejohnstone]

Montoya just became a Jim Carey.
Ouch!

How can you look at that play and say anything about Montoya.....you're an ambarassment to Canadians everywhere. Did you not see Jeff Likens shat himself and let Vrana walk by him, then refuse to try to make up for it?

 

[FINNtastic]

Great goal ends a good game, congratulations to Czech Republic!!!
Stafford was a positive surprise for me
Were those Czech coaches taunting and showboating after the goal?

You got to be joking. Montoya's 5 hole was wide open. Saw it on the reverse net camera......oh btw, Vrana fanned on the puck! Your an embarrassment for being a hockey fan.
Fact is, Montoya should of EASILY had that.

That should not have gone in.

What does his comment have anything to do with being Canadian?

Well put... totally agree with you

 

[joejohnstone]

No, not at all, because if Olesz was in the 3'rd I don't think it would have went to overtime.

Schwarz looked very average to me. Sure, he made a few decent saves, nothing spectacular. He was down and out in OT and his defense bailed him out by stopping an American lug that couldn't raise the puck 12 inches.

Olesz was much more important to this team that Schwarz.

 

[Barnaby]

Likens Sucks

 

[TheBigBadB]

Well, the two things why US lost. The defense was horrible this whole tournament, and both goalies played terrible. Thats never a good mix.

 

[chicpea*]

Congrats Czechs! And Likens embarrasses himself, yet again.

 

[goteam]

Congratulations to the Czech Republic and its "hokej" community on this win especially with the loss of Ivan Hlinka this year. The medal is well deserved.

There should never have been a shot at all. And if you watched the replay, you'd clearly see Likens weak hack, which resulted on the fan by Vrana. Lucky bounce.

Nice move by Vrana, awful tournament for Likens, resulting in two of the 3 goals tonight.

 

[NYR2]

And the coach sucks. But yeah you can't win if the team plays that way.

Congrats to the Czech's.

Frolik Is The Reaaaaall Deeeal !

He made more than 30 saves and didn't give up a softy. Yeah, that sounds pretty average to me.
