Have a look at the SUI-DEN game yesterday. Denmark is inferior to us (at least on paper at this tourney), but they've really managed to play a very close game for 60min! Strong defensive effort, high discipline and a lot of grit. Why can't we play that way? Don't tell me that this isn't possible...
From what I gather.. the entire strategy seems to be to get it to Kubalik, Zadina and Vrana and watch them score off one timers. It's not a bad strategy but we don't seem to do much else. Not many combinations, not much rhythm.
 
If this is our game we will have serious problems with teams such as Denmark, Sweden and Slovakia.

Something has to change and it had better be soon.
 
OMG.. we've made so many mistakes in under 1 minute... 2 giveaways, a too many men pass...
 
Kubalik! But holy shit if we didn't luck out. That OT was rough! Great job by Belarus.
 
Kubs! Two points aren't perfect, but at least we have avoided the historic moment of losing to Belarus.
 
Hrubec with an assist... I wanted to see who sprung Kubalik and it was Hanzl. Nice pass.
 
My guess is first two losses completely killed their confidence and ramped up the pressure. Struggle mode now.

This team has no visible identity, system, let alone leadership (status after 3 completed games). Also, I can't see any impulse from the coaching side to change any of this teams' shortcomings.

It's funny because I was joking that our entire strategy was pass it to an NHL guy.. that's how we won.lol

I'm all for feeding the NHL snipers but I just don't see an identity.

NHL guys aside... do we have secondary scoring? Just Flek with a goal in first game, right?
 
Czech TV in a nutshell: Yes!!! We won in OT against a fatigued Belarus team but have no identity or strategy whatsoever!
Pešán did not flinch when the goal was scored. No idea how to translate "zaražený prdy" into english. He is so full of himself. There, almost got it.

A very nice description. He does love himself quite a bit doesn't he?
