WJC: 2023 Team Slovakia roster talk

[Egresch]

Zabka, oh boy. I am afraid already. Missing Chromiak

You can see huge disrepency between right and left defense. Chromiak is right-handed D and he is behind Nemec, Strbak and Kmec. I am sure he would be there if he was a leftie.

It's a preliminary roster with 10 defensemen. There will be cuts. Why not give Chromiak a chance and then cut him if he is not good enough?

 

[Antiillafire]

Hopefully Zabka is only one of the 2 injury replacement players that are allowed. If he however actually gets significant ice time

 

[Eye of Ra]

Go on. Call me crazy. But i would have included Chovan, Kiss and Pobezal.

 

[Rusty7550]

Go on. Call me crazy. But i would have included Chovan, Kiss and Pobezal.

This is U20, not U18 I can see Pobezal next year, he's really good

 

[WeThreeKings]

Projected starting goalie?

 

[Egresch]

Projected starting goalie?

I would start with Marinov.

Slováky potáhne za reparátem dvojka draftu. A Slafkovský? Šance žije | Hokej.cz - web českého hokeje

Vánoční mistrovství světa juniorů by mělo podle všech indicií proběhout bez účasti jedničky posledního draftu NHL Juraje Slafkovského. Stoprocentně jisté to však stále není. Slovenští trenéři oznámili širší nominaci na šampionát, v níž potenciální hvězda turnaje chybí.

It's in Czech but tranlsate seems to work pretty well. It's a nice review and says Slaf has not been an official 'no' yet.. imagine if he showed up?

First or second round type of good?

 

[Takurcitee]

First or second round type of good?

First but a lot could happen between now and them

No Mesar?

 

[Antiillafire]

No Mesar?

Mesar probably will only play the Canada pre tournament game, if he does at all

 

[Devs3cups]

Mesar probably will only play the Canada pre tournament game, if he does at all

Hi there, same with Simon Nemec I’d imagine?

 

[Antiillafire]

Hi there, same with Simon Nemec I’d imagine?

I assume yes

 

[Devs3cups]

I assume yes

Thank you! Also, I was wondering if the Captains and Assistants have been named for the team? I assume Simon and Mesar will be getting letters, but I was wondering!

 

[DrPabloRamirez]

Mesar and Honzek will play against Canada sure. Simon Nemec maybe too

 

[jcbio11]

Yikes. 0 - 5 vs Germany despite outshooting them 33 - 21. I didn't see the match, but I guess the goaltending was less than stellar. It's definitely a cause of concern.

 

[Czechboy]

It's definitely a cause of concern.

Exhibition means very little... I'd say, on paper, Slovakia is stronger than Germany this year and would beat them if they met in a quarter final or later.

 

[lilmaxo]

Where can I see the official roster ? I am trying to find online but it seems to be only preliminary?

 

[jcbio11]

Exhibition means very little... I'd say, on paper, Slovakia is stronger than Germany this year and would beat them if they met in a quarter final or later.

Let's hope so. I mean I do absolutely agree with you, no way I'd bet any money on Germany in an elimination match vs. Slovakia this year, but still, 0 - 5 is not pretty.

 

[alko]

A new goalie has arived - Adam Gajan.

Jan Korec isnt going. Questionable decision, but last game had maybe something to do with it.

 

[Antiillafire]

Honzek and Mesar will play tonight. Not sure about Nemec

Misiak not playing, I don’t understand. I have a hard time seeing Dej keeping up at this level.
