Was just about to post it here too, more and more its obvious that tha main problem of this team was just a completely failed coaching and terribly set tactics and style of play.
Great article
As the first post on this page, I gave a link to an interview with the former well-known Czech player and currently recognized skating coach Čutta. If you use a translator, even from the available part you will understand what most Czech fans are thinking now. It's pretty detailed there.
But I am not defending Jalonen, if a more suitable coach is available, then Jalonen will be fired. He knows it, the people on the executive committee know it too. Of course, Jalonen's work style had to come into conflict with the Czech mentality, but that is not primarily Jalonen's problem, the coach's assistants should have intervened here and alerted Jalonen to possible clashes between the two worlds.
Yes, if Rulík is not available, then it will actually be a problem to find someone suitable at all.
You don't understand me, I'm writing about the fact that even before the tournament in Tampere and Riga started, there was already talk behind the scenes that Jalonen would be recalled regardless of the final result. Some players knew it, even Jalonen himself felt the distrust, it simply leaked out among people, among journalists. And when, after a bad performance in the QF and a 0-3 loss, Hadamczik tweets that the style of play must change... because Prague and the home tournament. This was not an artificially induced case by journalists, the players knew about this plan to replace Jalonen, this is simply not done and Hadamczik can easily deny it a hundred times, he can say a hundred times that it is not true and then announce Rulik as the new coach. And yes, no one can ban Hadamczik from writing on twitter, just ask yourself why the Finnish, Swedish or Swiss federation president won't do this.
They also wrote that Hadamczik would want to coach the national team directly. He laughed it off. Isport hates Hadamczik, it's hard to say what all of it is true. And you don't want to tell me that the players played badly just because some journalists wrote something about a possible change of coach? For example, the players played well for two thirds against Switzerland, only one against Canada, etc. Is Hadamczik to blame for that, but we were awkward in the rest of the match? Come on...
Hadamczik showed his usual classlessness when he sent that tweet as these are matters best handled internally. But while I despise Hadamczik as much as the next man, unfortunately the substance of what he said was right. It hurts my eyes watching the team play; the style Jalonen plays is simply not suitable to a Czech national team and we need him replaced. My ideal would be a Canadian coach for a change, someone like Craig Ramsey but younger, with a good track record and knowledge of the AHL so that we might integrate some of our better players from that league. Or Rulik, if we go Czech (which is infinitely more likely of course - no way Had appoints a Canadian).
We are not fun to watch at all.
Isport.cz sometimes has a pretty good critical view, some editors know how to ask the right questions or write the right point. But then there are also people like Janda, who lower the quality because they have a personal problem with Hadamczik. And it's been going on for a long time between them, the current case about the end of the hall of fame is a perfect example of that. There, Janda could literally go wild and write a series of articles on this topic.
I mostly agree with this post.
The idea was that no one wanted to go to NT, now Rulik is there as a possible replacement for Jalonen. After the dismissal of Pesan, going to NT was not attractive, that's why Jalonen came, but he was given a contract by the former management. I don't know what the exact conditions were, but three years is a long time. If they had offered him one year and an option for the second year, but with the fact that both sides would evaluate in June how satisfied they were, everything could have been calm.
No, it was Riga 2021. Jalonen had a tournament in Tampere and this year it was in Tampere and Riga.

Sorry for the mistake, I thought it was during Pesan's time.Simon Confirms Altercation With Red Wings Hronek; Shoulders Responsibility For Incident

Says we were 1-1-1 and had a loss to Austria.
It's party of the 'Marty argument'...
Dont forget that it was no "beauty" with Pasta also, after he came we still played terribly against US (1:0 lucky win), Finns (0:3 loss) and Canada(1:6 blowout) so even after he came the presented game was still not very good considering how f***in stacked the team was even besides Pasta lol. If I compare it to our 2019 performance also with stacked team, then last year we played terribly compared to that even with Pasta.
I think our only big 5 wins are the 2 against the US with Pasta.lol Every other top tier opponent has handled us easily... including the Swiss this year. And, of course, Austria and Latvia.
And I ask again... what makes Martin Havlat (one of my fav players growing up) qualified to do any of this? We need nerds not former NHLers!
He's a bastard.. he didn't hire him and he'll make him the scapegoat while talking about saving money on rental cars or whatever bullshit he keeps bringing up. Great divorce lawyer, awful hockey GM.
