WC: 2023 Czech Team

Sklenicka and Matej Stransky are out (personal issues)
Addition by subtraction, I don't recall a single good game from Stransky. I do recall countless of awful misses though. Elite goalscorer... yeah right.

I just realized Lukas Dostal wil be available. Assuming he is willing to go, I would take him over any other goaltender we have in Europe/NA. Played on two absolute dogwater teams, still put up respectable numbers and is without a doubt our goalie of the future.

I wanted to like Stransky. Big guy, good numbers but everytime I see him on the NT, he's having an 'off' game.

100% on Dostal. We could have 3 NHL goalies if they all agreed. I'm thinking 2 NHLers and Stezka as number 3.

I think Mrazek may have done us a favor yesterday too! His insane performance may have freed up Jan Rutta. He's no Makar but he might be our best available defender along with Jiricek (who is 20 minutes a night in NHL this week).

Dostal, Vladar, Stezka ... would be cool trio. But I think Kari will take Hrubec.

Is there any good news coming on D?
Unfortunately, it's another bad news. The situation regarding our defense is not developing very well.
I can already see that in the end Zábranský will be nominated. I could honestly laugh at that, but i wouldn't be surprised either.

Zabransky, Kucerik, Krutil and Has.lol
 
Kubicek too! We got this!

At first, I thought no way Svozil makes this team.. he may be our best D.lol
Well, we will see. I'm actually waiting for someone like Jordan, Moravčík. I didn't mind Moravčík, but then at the tournament, when I praised him before, he played badly. This is going to be a really tough nut for the coaches. A lot of solid defenders are out.
 
Klok is out aswell.
Dont even say that. Reasons?

Our best NHL D Is out, And Now our best Europe D Is out. Well thats just great.

I can see the defense already ... Jordan, Mozik, Scotka, Moravcik and others like that.

Thats gonna be so painfull to watch ....

Our best case sceneario is still good!

Simek, Rutta, Jiricek, Kempny, Kundratek and Galvas.

Jiricek is back in AHL for a playoff push this weekend so cheer for whoever is playing Cleveland to win!



That is possible. Will it happen? I seriously doubt it.lol It would be enough (with out anticipated goalies) to get us in semi's IMO.

I hope they stay together all the way to the Skoda's... great secondary scoring line.
Chlapik always seemed to me like a lite version of Kubalik 🤪 very similar style of play, ability to score... but Kubalik is slightly better as I wrote Chlapik is lite version. If we won't have Kubalík take Chlapik.

Good lord :laugh:

Just take Kempny and fill the rest with anything available from the NHL and AHL.
 
It still can be decent: Šimek, Rutta, Jiricek, Galvas, Knot, Kostalek, Kempny, Svozil/Kundratek...

But no more scratches please ...

We need all those guys

Something I'm used to: Flek on breakaways as no one can catch him
Something I'm not used to: Flek scoring on those breakaways.lol

Nice goal from Horak!
 
Easy win. Score should be 3:10 for us 🤪 Exhibition play in the 3rd period by our players.
Flek and Horak were my MVP.
