WJC: 2023 Czech Team

Just that he got cut.
Gotcha.. he's not cut yet! Still with team. They have 3 guys and still add one as it progresses. He was in tough agains the core 4 of Hamara/Spacek/Svozil/Jiricek and the Czech powers that be love Moravec and Tichachek. Really it was between him and Ales Cech for the 5/6/7 spot.
 
David Jiříček was added to the official roster today, which might be an indication of that he is going to play vs. Canada. But no official confirmation, it will be clear once the game line-ups are released.

Honesltly, I cannot complain too much.. I like the coach, I like the players, no stupid omission. Everything is very reasonable.

It could be argued that line 1 is a U18 lineup and line 2 is a U20 lineup and maybe swamp them to free up the kids?

I don't like Tichachek at 1 and Hamara at 5 but they really like Tichachek and he's a pro.

All small things though and a third pair of Hamara and Moravec would've been a top pair for us several times in the last decade.

I don't expect a win but am really happy going in. Like wooren says.. I just hope for no injuries to key players!
 
Rare day for Czechs.. were down 2-1 with 13 seconds left at the U18 tourney.. came back won won.

Gave Canada their first loss at the Spengler since 2016

Beat Canada in regulation for first time in history

Hat trick.. not in a million years would I have bet on this.

We better win tomorrow and not shit the bed against Austria.
 

He impressed the hell out of me tonight! Just a big guy doing great things. Curious how the rest of the tourney goes for him but he was noticeable from the first shift.

The usual suspects were great.. Svozil, Kulich, Jiricek, Suchanek, Spacek. Sale was quiet to my eye which isn't a knock as he's 17.

That's the stat's sheet from IIHF

Some neat things:

Sapo with 21 minutes and over 70 percent on the dot!

Spacek and Svozil with most minutes around 21 and 22

Sale with 20!

Jiricek with only 16

All the D above 15.. Rulik really rolled them effectively

Spacek was the only multi point player with 2 and he stopped a 'Michigan'.. he's underated!

Suchanek with an assist and a .947.. he also took US out in quarters.... how is he undrafted?lol

Ooops and Svozil who I thought was the best player with Suchanek.

Svozil also had a couple points.

I'm not surprised by the minutes. Svozil-Spacek was the best pairing and they seemed to be out there a lot.
