That's too bad.

 

[Antiillafire]

Kristof as 1C is pretty weak.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Kristof as 1C is pretty weak.

Should Roman or Kollar be 1C instead?

 

[Antiillafire]

Should Roman or Kollar be 1C instead?

I mean I hope none of them, if Calgary got eliminated Ruzicka could come but that seems unlikely. Kristof as our 1C is probably the weakest of the top 8 nations 1C’s. It’s gonna be a fight for a QF spot

 

[vlady]

I stand by my statement. He will get cut before the Worlds. This call up is just for experience.

 

[morkkis35]

we will have a weaker lineup than in the Olympics while the opponents will be stronger thanks to NHL players. We are in a weak group though and therefore I expect us to make the quarterfinals. And then it depends on that one game. I guess we could cause an upset, but it's more likely that QF will be our final destination.

Our offense in particular is looking weak. No Hrivik and Cehlarik. Centers are weak compared to opposition. We will be losing faceoffs as usual. Tatar will probably be the only NHLer on the team and he's had a poor season. They will be waiting for Cernak and/or Fehervary, who would be a big help, but still the offense will be lacking.

Can Rybar have the kind of tournament that he had in Beijing? Can Slaf carry us on his back again? More likely the answer is no to both.

EDIT: I assumed you were asking about the World Champs and not Kaufland Cup

Thank you very much! yess, i meant the world champs.

That's too bad.

It smells very fishy, but Slovakia should follow the example of Finland & Sweden, and if so, it must be how it is.

It is fishy or are they just tired/injured?

 

[Faterson]

"Injured" would be a legitimate excuse not to go, and "tired" would be a lame excuse, but in conjunction with Čajkovský, it seems like too many coincidences at once.

Well, every year most of the finnish nhl players decline, if it wasn´t the home tournament and olympics, the best euro-players would have declined also.

 

[Henkka]

How near is this the same roster as the Olympic roster?

They did play very well.

 

[kudla]

How near is this the same roster as the Olympic roster?

They did play very well.

About 50% of the team will be different.

 

[tobu]

On paper a weaker team than the Olympic one, but you never know...

QF spot is the first step and than anything can happen. I don’t think any team will have an exceptionally strong roster. It would be really nice if we could get Ruzicka and Fehervary though.

 

[Eye of Ra]

well with russia and belarus out, it makes it eazier.

 

[jonas2244]

Especially in group A. Don't think Italy and France are able to compete for the quarters, maybe KAZ but also just maybe. So it's basically Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Slowakia and Danmark for 4 spots.

I think France could reach qf. they have many decent players in good european league/or experiance from it.

It would take a lot, I watched their game today against Norway and although they won, they have a lot of players who are going to struggle. Texier can carry a line but the depth is a worry

 

[Eye of Ra]

With all players missing im suprised Juraj Mikus and Radovan Bondra did not get a call.

Maybe Hascak should get a invite. Perhaps even Chovan and Tvrdon. Too many players have declined.

What ever happend to Fominykh? I heard good stuff about him last year.
