WJC: 2025 Czech Team

[martygod12]

Yup, not too happy.lol

No Badinka
No Jiricek
No Benak
No Mrtka

Got Sale for now.

Hrabal and Milota is perfect.

Like the forwards a lot.. especially with guys like Zidlicky having solid seasons.

I know nothing about Zemlicka and Volas

It is interesting. Curiosu what others think?

Dont know the forward group looks good, nice to see Cihar and Novotny here. But leaving Benak behind is just crazy, we really think that Simek or Zemlicka are better options? Benak just have skills two levels above 95% of this team, its crimminal to not bring him, no matter his size.

D is weak, sadly Jiricek injured and Badinka having personal problem with Augusta. We basically have Galvas with Dvorak there, Fibigr is so so with his form and the rest are just average players at best. They just could have bring Mrtka to at least show himself if he really is a top prospects instead some no name Volas guy .. who the hell is even that guy lol?

I think we can outplay weaker teams because the offense is solid, but top teams are gonna trash us because the D is really weak.

With Benak, Jiricek, Badinka I would say medal is possible, with this nomination? QF will be the end.

No Curran or Perez too. I do like the forwards though. It's the D that pisses me off.

You are right where the f*** is Curran? But Simek is going for some reason, guy is 19 and 0.48 ppg in junior league, yet he is going over Curran and especially Benak ... like what the actuall f***?

And dont give me all "someone has to defend bs" he is 173cm and 70kg, how can he defend anyone? You can put Benak into checking line with those parameters

 

[martygod12]

In defense there are also stupid decisions imo, Port and Koci are completely forgettable in CHL, if we dont have Jiricek and Badinka, why they at least didnt bring Skok who is playing full time ELH for Plzen, or Svec who is having more then 0.5 ppg in Czech2 league with Pardubice B, also playing with men?

No we bring two guys who completely suck even on junior level.

Oh man, way to kill the mood this f***in lineup again

Regarding Badinka, it turned out exactly as expected. That player simply took offense after last year's championship and refused to represent. And a player who is offended has no business in the national team. And he still didn't play a single really good game last season.
The absence of Jiříček is, of course, a huge loss. Maybe the name Jiříček is cursed.
I'm surprised Mrtka isn't nominated, even though he didn't play very well among men.
The absence of Benák does not surprise me, Novotný and Čihař play among men, they are better prepared for this tournament. Maybe if he wasn't in America, but in Europe and he played the last preparatory tournament and proved that he is physically enough for this level, then Augusta would nominate him...
When I see the rosters of the other teams, I certainly don't see our chances for a medal very realistic. But hey, even miracles happen, as we saw last year.

I would also like to know what my great favorite says about the absence of Badinka..
If anyone finds out, feel free to write
