You just have to get rid of the players from the SVK league from this team. They just can't compete on the international forum. Bartanus couldn't even make it in CZE, I mean come on coach, you can't judge a player by his status in the Slovak league

Unfortunately, not only players from our league are unable to compete internationally.

So it's very likely that Tatar, Jurco, Hossa and Panik could soon be out of the playoffs as both Red Wings and Blackhawks are down 1-3 in their series. The four could theoretically play at IHWC and even show up for the last prep-game. In this case, the team could become a contender to make it to and beyond the quarters.

Panik, Tatar, Jurco say yes

This is very optimistic and probably not realistic. Hossa will not come, Ciger said he is not counting with him, because of injuries...
The three others will make us better contender for play off spot, but definitely not for top 4.

 

[alko]

Hossa probably say no.
Panik, Tatar, Jurco say yes
Hrivik too

Ciger said few weeks ago, that he doesn't want to invite Marek Hrivik. Something changed here?

 

[hmmsk]

Ciger also said that he'll have to think about Jurco and Panik as they haven't played enough.
That's just ridiculous. They obviously have more quality than some of our current crop.

 

[Krotak]

Man, I would like to see Hossa and Gáborík in national jersey once again. It's one of the last chances for them. Put Réway between them and we can prepare popcorn for us I really hope there's still a chance they will come

for now, it is only a dream. But they have some years. I think, we will see some of them in national team. Hossa is a guy, that can be useful also when he will be 40 years old.

I think there's a chance they'll still participate in the next olympics. Even if they may not be in the NHL at that time, but I think they've still got 2 years in the NHL in them

 

[JTD]

Tomas Jurco has confirmed he'll play for Slovakia and Tomas Tatar has to be cleared by doctors first.

 

[jcbio11]

Ciger also said that he'll have to think about Jurco and Panik as they haven't played enough.

Did he really say that? Because Panik's playing some amazing playoff hockey for Chicago right now.

He's still in the playoffs anyway.

And now he is free.
Yes, he said that. But after his last game, im sure, Ciger has an open spot for Panik.

 

[Jakk123]

So Ciger won't even call Hrivik Not sure if I should laugh or cry.

 

[hmmsk]

Don't worry, Bartanus with fill in for him

EDIT: apparently looks like Ciger called Hrivik (today?) but he was already on his way on holiday. I would really have to call this a big mess up from Ciger. He's realizing only now how terrible some members of the squad are that he chose that he is scrambling to get other guys he said wouldn't be called totally last minute... I hate being overly negative but this is pure incompetence from the coach/GM

 

[Dotaz]

Just read that PANIK is not going! He has some injury issue and I dont understand what this might be as he played great hockey in playoffs and only problem should result from stambling as he crossed dressing room doors after last game We are in pretty bad spot when even youngest guys doesnt bother to dress national jersey

 

[Dotaz]

And this is also for the first time when I am really afraid we could barely relegate this year. Exhibition games are just that - exhibition but they still show some level of how the team is prepared for the tournament. Just one win with France and blow outs with Fins and Russians is a big concerne...With Vujtek they at least played relatively even games with big 6 hockey countries...

Weren't you without all of Jurco, Tatar, Dano, Marincin, Sekera, Jaros and Cehlarik in those games though?

 

[tade]

They were only without Tatar and Jurco, If I remember correctly. Tatar is confirmed to go?

Tatar is injured and wont go

 

[Dotaz]

Yes, we were only without Tatar so that gives you picture why I am afraid. Not to mention that even when Tatar would go, his last two WC were terrible - I couldnt tell difference between him and our regular Slovak liga player

 

[Elvs]

Jaros and Cehlarik didn't play the blowout game against Russia according to lineup higher up on this page. I think you will be fine, in terms of not being relegated.
