WC: 2025 Czech Team

Idk about Vej .. Vladar was much superior GK at this tournament ... kinda dont understand why he wasnt starting today, it could maybey gone differently with Vladar from the start

Because 1 is a NHL starter on a good rising team who played over 55 games The other is a NHL backup with no contract. I love Vladar (and Vanecek, Rittich) but I take Vej all day long. Behind Dostal of course. Vej has also been to several World's in a row now. Time will tell but he seems like a lock.

Well this definitely doesnt support your argument lol

Not saying he cost us the game today, but having Vladar from the start, it could have gone differently … goals 2 and 3 were definitely stoppable

Of course Vladar is no Hasek either he is 2nd goalie at best, but i think he was in better form at this tournament

I even forgot about our game when I saw what's going on in DEN-CAN.

Time will tell. Curious where Vladar signs next season. Hoping Vanecek can sneak out a contract. Same with Rittich. Dobes full time. And of course Postiva and Zajicek (one signed and I think the other will soon) in the AHL. Stezka too!

Rulik and Captain Cervenka both saying the USA loss hurt. I couldn't agree more. Multiple gold medal winners here.

To succeed, you need a goalkeeper who will be a support in crucial moments. And Vejmelka was not that by any chance. Again. Agree with Marty, Vladař was better.

Two questions for those who followed if you don't mind:

1) How did Necas look? Engaged or playing soft and uninterested?

2) Did he play center or wing, and where would he look best?

Yeah, I read that this morning too
I don't care if one is a starter and the other is a backup, you ride the hot goalie and I honestly got a better feeling from Vladař in net this tournament over Vejmelka.

As for the future, we have one player still dogging it out in the playoffs in Nosek, I wonder if all his playoff experience could make him a good candidate for the Olympics. After all, you need fourth-line players who know how to play that role as well.

And anyone know how Šalé is developing? Keep listening for any word about him, but haven't heard anything since the juniors
