Pretty sure Chytil and Hajek are playing

 

[leetch99]

It is hard to blame players with families to say no to this event on account of Covid . I would have liked to see Laf in it...but that is his business . The good thing is we see Schneider with Gallant .

 

[Kaapo Bustfreniere]

Pretty sure Chytil and Hajek are playing

Yes they are playing. They played in the recent Euro Hockey Tour tournament and both made the WC team.

Great team, very strong defence. Jalonen actually picked more skill upfont than i anticipated, but it's good thing to have scoring depth. Team is nice combo of veterans + kids and 2019 world champions, just like last time Finland will outwork everybody. Strongest workhorse team in the tournament. Finland's gonna play in the gold medal game.

Ruotsalainen - Ruohomaa - Ojamäki
Sallinen - Lundell - Turunen
Mäenalanen - Kontiola(A) - Karjalainen
Pakarinen - Björninen - Anttila(C)

I can't take a tournament where Kevin Rooney is playing seriously.

 

[Fitzy]

Probably going to be the weakest WC field in recent memory, but still good chance to see Lundkvist and Schneider play.

 

[Harbour Dog]

I'll follow the WC because of our prospects, but I genuinely enjoy watching the Spengler Cup more.

There's something about the ragtag group of half-forgotten ex-NHLers getting one last chance to play for their country. Always draws my attention more than the World Championships.

1995 is the weakest I can remember, don’t think any NHLers participated.

I like the WCHs. Some of my best insights comes from that tournament, just a perspective you never ever get to see even remotely anywhere else. NHL mega stars against ECHLers if that. Kids and over the hill vets. Very homogeneous teams against teams with little chemistry.

But I am like you, I like all hockey.

2021 World Championship Journal: Let the Games Begin

 

[nyr2k2]

There are games going on. Germany-Italy and Russia-Czech. For the Cezchs, Chytil is playing with Zadina and Zohorna. Hajek on the second pair with Moravcik.

Later is Belarus and Slovakia. Huksa is on Slovakia but I doubt he's playing. Canada-Latvia later with Schneider on Canada.

 

[Leetch3]

russia-czech game is on NHLN right now....Canada game being aired at 1pm...and Sweden's first game will be tomorrow at 5am

 

[Kaapo Bustfreniere]

Watching our national team against Russia. Unlike many of my countrymen, who make a huge deal out of the tournament, I have never taken World Championships too seriously. The last time it was World Championships in the true sense was in 2005 when there was an NHL lockout and evereyone had a really strong roster.

But I have never been so disinterested in our WC game. Don't know if it is the absence of fans or the direct comparison to that wild Tampa-Florida series, but I find myself not caring at all.

Anyway, Chytil has been playing on the wing of the second line and maybe it is the wider ice, but I haven't been too impressed with him as a winger in this game. Keep in mind I am one of the biggest proponents of Chytil as our 2C.

Haven't noticed Hájek at all. Not even sure if he played in the first period (he was in the line up though). Which I guess is a good thing.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Hajek with an assist and has made a few nice passes and keep ins lol

 

[Joey Bones]

Poor Italy...
