We won the goaltending battle!

Also, I'm looking for Jiricek in the quick video and don't see him.lol

MacT smoked him on the first goal.lol

I think Mysak is a classic Czech grinder in the mold of Repik to Plekanec. He does everything right, is a good boy and plays 200 feet. I don't expect much offence for him. More complimentary IMO and good at eating minutes. I hope I'm wrong of course but 3rd line NHL player one day.

I agree. Reminds me of Lekhonen.
 
Agreed on Mysak being a top6-9 forward or perhaps even a fourth line player, who knows.
The comparison to Lehkonen is a bit difficult though. The thing with Lehkonen is that his 15/16 season with Frölunda at that young age showed some glimpses of more what he eventually became. Just look at his stats at the playoffs from that year.
Also, after Teräväinen, Saros and Lindell he was perhaps our fourth best player in that gold team and the only one besides Teräväinen who could create some opportunities on his own. Among forwards that is. That´s quite the compliment because the team won gold and the depth wasn't there, so all in all he carried a big role.

I wonder why Michal Gut didn't get drafted? Impressed me. I do think Jiricek and later on Svozil as well, showed something special. Loved Svozils poise with the puck in the offensive zone. Ice cool.

I think a lot of players for missed due to the weird season. A few good Czechs went late or not at all. I'm not saying the NHL missed first round talent. But I am saying a few guys were worth drafting including Gut. Svozil may end up being a third round gem! I'm not a fan but surprised Malik was passed on twice. But we will see... Hopefully jiricek doesn't lose ranking and hopefully kulich moves up to round 1.

I don't think McKenzie has any special information on this particular injury. He can just assume from how the injury looked. And it didn't look good at all. I would be very surprised myself if Jiricek wasn't out for at least a month.
The Czech team hasn't make any statement yet, but I think we all know this kind of injuries...

McKenzie is the most connected man in this. I guarantee he's even seen the MRI.lol.

For Finland... We could've had a top 4 of jiricek, Svozil, krutil and one of hradek, tichacek, Moravec or Spacek. That would be a beauty d core. Svozil could risk more and act like a 4th forward too...

Why am I yelling?lol

I don't think Bob does a whole lot of random guessing. Not really his style.

It depends on if somebody has shown him. No doctor is allowed to just disclose a patient's diagnosis to a journalist, that might well end their career as a doctor. I am not sure at all how much does the Czech team communicate with journalists unofficially. He may have some info from the medical staff at Rogers Place. But above all, the injury looked really bad.

Hopefully he recovers soon. Was hoping he could play in the Olympics but I guess that's off the cards now :(

Kolacek from 1st line to 4th line.lol

My fav line was the 2nd line and it got split up. Our first line looks great though!

5 D... our strongest position going in. 1 game later and we have 5 guys. You can't make this up!
 
5 defensemen? At least Krutil is going to play against Finland. Hrádek's suspension is a pity but he has deserved it, he lost his nerves and it was completely needless.
 
D next year:
