Looked gassed that shift. Hope he’s ok

Probably can't breathe out of his nose, but he was still all over the puck seemingly by himself

I would imagine the concussion protocol at the WJ is just as strict as it is in the nhl?!

 

[bl02]

Took a helmet to the nose

thanks

That’s what I figured. Can’t imagine it’s too fun for him right now

 

[LeetchisGod]

It's disturbing that Chytil seems to be getting a ton of injuries so soon into his career.

It's disturbing that Chytil seems to be getting a ton of injuries so soon into his career.

He’s on the puck constantly, and is one of the youngest players on the ice at the AHL level, and even at this tournament. Not totally shocking.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Chytil scored. Tap in after his teammate drove to the net, but they all count the same.

 

[valence]

Chytil scores

 

[Trxjw]

Chytil!!

 

[Mac n Gs]

FUTUURREEEEEEEEEEE

 

[Griffinbw]

Chytil!

Filip The great

So far, it seems to me Necas and Chytil the difference makers for the Czechs, I'd give Chytil a slight edge because I'm biased but he also seems to be doing more at ES while Necas is making a huge difference on the power play. Zadina seemed timid in the first but has been carrying that line at ES in the second. And Safin has been decent, but nothing like the big 3.

Edit: Chytil scores while I was typing

The russians are terrible. At least since I started to watch.

Does not look like one of their stronger squads in recent memory.

This is a bad year for them.

Their best defenseman is in the NHL, their second best defenseman is injured. Their goaltending kind of sucks this year, although the guy they are playing today probably shouldn't have even made their roster. They have some talented forwards, but Bragin coaches too by the book to really take advantage of his team being very forward heavy. Why does he have two defensemen on the PP and why are their best wingers playing on such balanced lines with grinders? Some of their best forwards are barely even getting onto the PP, he seems to keep full lines together for PP's.

Sounds like a coach we all know...
Just a bit too familiar

Bragin's pretty good tho, but he coaches very old school.

 

[Fvital92]

By the way, is Svechnikov playing? No one from Russia is jumping off the screen for me.

#14. He made a really nice pass to one of his teammates that could've been a goal, but the guy didn't get great contact on the shot. He's playing with a grinder and an undersized winger who's not really any good.

Zadina gets to play in the top six, Svechnikov plays on the third line and has to carry the line. Bragin is not putting Svechnikov in a good position to succeed.

 

[bl02]

Chytil on the ice for another goal for.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Chytil seems impossible to stop on the forecheck, and I feel like he hasn't been in the defensive zone at all since maybe the first period

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Chytil on the ice for another goal for.

Any points?

 

[bl02]

I know its not even one game but the Czechs look good.
