WC: 2025 Czech Team

I was not following this: what is Zacha's excuse this time?
He was injured.

I mean, sure he played all 82 games. And I'm positive he would've palyed every playoff game. And here are his last 5 games

So top line minutes but he is injured. I wish him a speedy recovery.

FWIW - I didn't expect him and didn't even flinch when he wasn't announced. I do hope he makes Olympics as our 2C... give Hertl Necas and give Zacha Pasta.

if he was genuinely injured, fair point. I did not know that. given his previous history..

Probably the same "excuse" like for dozens of Swedes, Finns, Americans, Canadians and others? People should finally realize these guys just played an 82-game season. All of them are exhausted, many had been ending the season with minor health issues which didn't necessarily prevent them from playing hockey but require some time to get rid of before the preparation for the new season begins. It will be different with the Olympics: Extraordinary tournament, everybody wants to be there. But the WCH is every year. If the player is available, healthy and feels he still has some fuel left in the tank, guys usually love playing for their country. But sometimes the player himself feels it would be too risky considering his health and readiness for the summer practice process.

Those are fair points generally, but this is Zacha who very often declined to play for reasons other than what you describe, as you are well aware. I didn't know he was actually nursing an injury, my bad as I said in another post, but generally over the years Zacha's situation has NOT been the same as dozens of Swedes, Finns or indeed Czechs, so it was not unreasonable to wonder if there was an excuse lurking there somewhere. Until someone set it straight and confirmed he is not 100% healthy.

from training

Brankáři:
Vejmelka, Vladař, Kořenář

Útok zleva doprava:
Červenka – Sedlák – Pastrňák
Voženílek – Špaček – Zadina
Lauko – Kondelík – Flek
Beránek – Kodýtek – Stránský
Klapka

Obrana:
Krejčík – Hronek
Pyrochta – Špaček
Hájek – Kundrátek
Ticháček – Gazda

Zdroj: Zázemí českých hokejistů na MS? Záchody a sprchy jako kóje i daleká šatna
defender Hronek and with him Stránský, Sedlák, Pastrňák, Červenka - first PP

In the second one, however, Kodýtek took the place of Klapa, who will probably be given priority as a center in the lineup. David Špaček and Krejčík continued to rotate in the guard positions, with Zadina, Beránek and Michael Špaček in front of them
 
Plekanec about Necas:

"Martin is supposed to arrive later tonight," Plekanec noted, also heading into Friday afternoon's duel with Switzerland. "We'll talk to him about how he'll feel after the flight. If he's feeling good and wants to play, he'll play."

Have to say not so hot about lines being like that lol .. Vozenilek is no top 6 player, .. Klapka should be in the lineup, Kodytek just a sub, Pyrochta sub and put Gazda instead of him

Gazda was said to be a bad skater, but Pyrochta is excellent. This can play a big role on a big rink.

I think he will do well tbh
He is a girtty player like a beranek but I don't think he should be ahead of klapka lmao
I just read the article, and the hell he was in 2nd PP line today if I got it correctly? You got to be kidding me lol
 
That is outrageous if true 😭
Well I guess Necas will move to 1st PP and someone from that PP line will hopefuly kick Kodytek out but still

Cmnon I really dont want to question Rulik again after last year lol, but Kodytek in favor of Klapka seems crazy

Kodytek, I think, is like Derek Ryan. He is good on draws and never quits. He's a C. So he will probably play 4c and be on PK.

Klapka is a winger who won't be on a PK.

So rulik values kodyteks intangibles.

I'm not saying I agree with this but get used to it.lol.

I also think rulik will value a euro like stransky or vozelnik over rulik for top 6.

I'm just hoping klapka can get into a game at this point.lol
 
I'm gathering line 2 will be Zadina Spacek and necas. Line 1 is cervus, pasta and sedlak.

Kodytek will play every game.

Lauko and klapka may be eating shit here.lol

Also Canada picked up Bennington, schenn and danault lmao. They are a f***en juggernaut.
 


Toss necas on there. Does appear they are waiting for round 2 to be over. Toronto up 2-0. So I doubt Kampf. Go Oilers go. Get us Hertl
