WC: 2025 Czech Team

Swayman and Tage at US team. Nice start for them.

Hope Lauko makes it. Hope they make Pasta official at some point.lol

Ok, here is my best guess which will age awfully.lol

G - Vej, Vladar, Korenar

D - Hronek, Kundratek, Spacek, Hajek, Zboril, Krejcik and Galvas

F - Pasta, Cervenka, Lauko, Sedlak, Zadina, Stransky, Spacek, Chlapik, Kovarcik x 2, Vozelnik, Flek, Beranek

Not saying it will end this way.

Not saying it is the right guess.

I just wanted to make a guess.lol
I really hope we can score 1-2 names from that group I mentioned on top of that (besides Spacek of course)

I love your list but can't see it. Start looking in Liiga, SHL and Extraliga.lol Hope I'm wrong of course because I'm dying for Kulich, Klapka, Kral, Svozil the most. Not because I think they'd win but because they may be OG players!

Well Faksa will be very likely available after first round. Good guy to 4th line.
Dallas is really strong, I know that so is Colorado, but Necas is a real possibility
I am sure Coachella will knock out Calgary in AHL, so Klapka will be available. The question is if he is injured that much to be able to go or no.
Suracuse defeated Rochester last year, they can do it this year also. Nothing I wish for more right now. Kulich is the guy I want most in the squad lol.

I think we can score a guy or two with a bit of luck. Lets go Necas and Kulich, please hockey god I beg you please lol

This year, the Czech national team is weaker than at the last World Championships. Zaha, Necas, Gudas, Kubalik, Tomasek, Kase, Jiricek will not play. If Gertl and Necas do not arrive, then this team's path to the World Championships will be short.

I don't think anyone thought we would be back to back gold. Pragano last year was a dream come true.

Now the bronze. Good group play and a quarter win? That would be fantastic.

It would be interesting to see how Hertl would perform under Rulik. The last he played at WHC he didnt really standout.
He was miscast under jalonen. Once they put him with some NHL guys he was excellent in the games that mattered. The rest of the tournament was definitely underwhelming though. He'd be my 1C at Olympics.

I'd be happy with him as 1C but the coaches might prefer Zacha with Pasta.

I was not surprised by the Czech Republic's victory at the 2024 World Cup, as you had a very strong squad.
 
Pasta just have to come at this point what you think? That media massage which bursted yesterday that its practically done deal is a bit crazy lol. Everyone is counting on It now and knows he can go lol

Imagine what would happen if he said now he is not going xDDD

It's quite ridiculous tbh.

"Bruins have released David Pastrnak for the WHC and wish him good luck there. But it's not confirmed that he's going, we are still talking." (see post on the page 10 of this thread)

:laugh:

I am telling you that I am pretty sure that 90% of people now in Czechia thinks that its already confirmed and Pasta is 100% coming lol

I cant even think about the shitstorm that would happen now if he decided he will not go :D

It is getting very strange. Won't lie. Maybe they need Mrs. Pasta to approve it? Mom or wife. I'd like to think it's about insurance and that is causing a delay since he'd be expensive to insure.

I hope its just a bit for the effect too …

Lauko confirmed
Now cmon David
 


Confirmed.. no Pasta yet.lol

ON a shitty note, Sale is not playing. Klapka didn't play game 1. Stezka is a guy I'd welcome as a number 3 on NT (along with about 5 other guys) and Frk had 2 points.

Hoping for a Klapka game on Saturday. A Klapka loss on Saturady. A Klapka NT invite to Czech games on Sunday.

And, as Marty mentioned, Kulich is in the AHL till mid May not playing.lol

Prospal feels it is good for his development to play 5 games in 25 days. His last game was April 17th. He's just not very busy at all.lol

Spacek is a good addition, lets see how Lauko does. Pasta will go I believe it

Gazda also added. Shame that Cibulka was cut, but I guess there is no space, and the defence is shaping to be something like: Hronek. Spacek, Krejcik, Kempny, Kundratek, Zboril, Hajek and then battle for the last spot

As for Klapka, he did get injured in the last game, but Flames assigning him to AHL, suggest that its nothing major. Hope ha plays tomorow, and hope he will get eliminated and be with the team on Monday lol.

And from the ELH finals, I think that to the team will be added: Cervus, (hopefully) Sedlak, Kondelik, Smejkal, Zboril, Hajek, Flek maybe S.Stransky and I hope that also Postava who will be the 3rd goalie, that guy is a f***in phantom of this season and I would love to see him get one game at the WCH.
 
It was naive to think that Cibulka could make the final roster, it is not his time yet. Defense will be really crowded next week in Brno.
I think he won rookie of year though? Maybe? Nice season for him.

You are right, but I am bit confused, is that 'official' award for the best rookie of the season? Seems it is only awarded by the Czech TV (Sport channel), isn't there also official award by the league? Not that it matters... :)
