[The Iron Goalie]

Necas Hat-trick incoming.

 

[Wooren]

Korenar gets the start, Lauko might return to the lineup. (Hopefully he doesn't replace Michnac, who was great against the Swedes)

Could turn out to be a tough game, need some quick ones for sure.

Yeah I finally watched the Sweden game last night and was pleasantly surprised with Michnac. His vision and playmaking ability is outstanding. I highly doubt he's directly replaced with Lauko. Hard to say who it could be though. Everyone had a pretty decent game.

 

[Vogel]

I would try Kaut with Chytil, they had good chemistry at the beginning of the season. So...

Zachar - Chytil - Kaut
Michnac - Necas - Zadina
Kurovsky - Reichel - Safin
Pavlik (Hrabik) - Kodytek - Lauko

Game lineups: CZE vs BLR

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Does that goalie really have a bunch of minions on his mask?

 

[kudla]

Sharangovich is seriously good

 

[Woodhouse]

1-0 BLR. Sharangovich pp wrister from the top of the right circle.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Czechs need to stay out of the box

 

[Woodhouse]

Chytil with a gaping cage and puts it through the crease instead of equalizing.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

5 minutes is right. Awful play

 

[Woodhouse]

Five minute major for a nutcracker. You don't see that often.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Zadina is out killing this off. He's been really impressive offensively but it's clear that the coach trusts him defensively too

 

[SladeWilson23]

Garbage play. Craig Button is really giving it to the Czechs.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Important kill. Czechs could've been in a huge hole there after that stupid penalty

 

[Woodhouse]

Czechs successfully kill the major.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Deryabin and Sharangovich look like they could be drafted in the 5th-7th round next year

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

2-0 for Belarus now. Ouch

 

[Woodhouse]

Goaltending change, more of a message than fault. Skarek in now for CZE.

 

[novisor]

Is Belarus playing for relegation regardless? Even if Switzerland loses their next game, they have the tiebreaker, no? (assuming Belarus wins today).

 

[MackAttack26]

Woah. Belarus is probably relegated even with a win here...

But Czech's have a golden opportunity to get 2nd in their group. Can't let this slip away.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Czechs get one back. Can't believe they didn't finish that original chance

And it's tied up

 

[kudla]

2-2

 

[MackAttack26]

There we go... 2-2
