WJC: 2022 Team Slovakia roster talk

[czechcanadian]

Have to agree with @BigBadBoar.
Slovakia is looking better than Czechs this year. I think they’re both dark horses but Slovaks have more raw talent offensively. Going to be a really fun team to watch. Honestly could be more excited to watch them play USA than Canada kill us

Fatul, Groch, Stumpel are the last cuts

have you seen final rosters for all wjc teams? If so where?

Elite prospects has them usually. Some teams haven’t announced yet, they have the entirety of today to decide

 

[Antiillafire]

First time in history where a team has been all of the below?
- Youngest
- Tallest
- Heaviest
- Most experienced (64 games played total at WJC compared to next Finland at 56)

Any way we can de-age Reway so he can run our power play?

 

[EichelFan15]

First time seeing this group play and was thoroughly impressed. Think you guys will stomp Russia.

Or let´s give a bigger role for Mesar. He has all the tools to be such a playmaker.

I’d say you guys are favourites against Russia. Definetely if you shoot as much as today Askarov/Duskov will let in at least ten.

I think it will be a close game. Our forwards should be able to get better looks than they did against you guys. But than again Michkov is a big danger. He killed us at HGC

Your young guys are really good, they just need to be more patient and not throw so much at the net but then again with russias goaltending it just might work.

Not really. He scored 1 empty net goal. Other Russians had better game

So with the Swiss getting free points against the US looks like we are getting screwed yet again

Now we must win in regulation against them. I still trust our guys though.

Why?
The most important thing for us is to be "PCR negative"in next two days after contacts with team USA. Although it´s very unlikely because of omicron spreading.. But if we will play against Russia and Switzerland we are able to win both games.

No way this tournament will be played till the end so who cares. If there's Covid in Team USA, are other teams will be tested positive soon as well.

 

[elMatador]

USA forfeiting to SUI with the score 0:1 means that if Slovakia lose to RUS they have to win in regulation over SUI by 2 or more goals difference to qualify for QF - Step 2 of the tie breaker.
Should they win by only 1 goal difference they need to score at least 2 goals - Step 3 of the tie breaker.

 

[Eye of Ra]

In my eyes you guys are a gold-canidate. loss against USA, but could have ended with a win anyways. Against Sweden it was Wallstedt only stopping Slovakia from winning.

 

[Antiillafire]

As far as the PP goes, I’d give Dvorsky more time, Chromiak less, and put Petro out there and let him shoot for a bit

 

[stastny12]

And even more primarily, please let Slafkovsky and Chromiak play together for God´s sake.

[Antiillafire]

If the tournament is resumed in august, and any players are injured I would put in Baco as the forward replacement.

Mesar - Demek - Slafkovsky
Ciernik - Dvorsky - Jedlicka
Kaslik - Myklukha - Chromiak
Sykora - Petrovsky - Baco

Knazko - Stacha
Petrovicky - Nemec
Kmec - Becar
Strbak

Latkoczy
Elias
Marinov

 

[kudla]

I thought it was screaming that Slafkovsky needed to play with Chromiak.

 

[HamburgerSK]

Maroš Jedlička scored yesterday his first hattrick in the slovak senior league. Well done! He has now 30 points in 30 games.

 

[Antiillafire]

I’m not sure. I like Mesar and Slafkovsky together and Demek will be better by than. Chromiak needs to play with at least 1 good puck transporter and 1 2way player. That was clear against Sweden
