WJC: 2025 Slovakia U20

Having Dvorsky pushes us into the contender status this year. He's on fire in AHL at the moment and he could be the difference maker in the QFs. Sykora coming too btw.

Adam Sykora? He’s a 2004 born and not eligible anymore.

Sykora is not eligible to play.

I must be taking crazy pills then. Cause I absolutely thought I heard someone somewhere mention it. Like radio or a sports podcast or something.

Petr Sikora, most likely.

Surprised Straka was cut

Surprised Straka was cut

Me too, he was generating chances in the warm up matches. Probably old Slovak mentality of needing “grinders” for the bottom 6. Even though straka is capable defensively

Actually, I dont think he played well but still better option than Kukumberg.

There was some reports, he will come back (saw it in some discussion thread). Should be injury related break. We will see.

It’s so tough to split up Pekarcik and Dvorsky but I’d like a player with a little more size on the second line with Pobezal. I’d maybe go Jencko-Dvorsky-Cedzo as the first line and Pekarcik-Pobezal-Cisar as the second line. I am sure lines will get juggled as the tournament goes on.

Solid roster, no controversies imo. Happy for Tomik. Again, a lot of RHDs, one more solid LHD would be fantastic but we dont have one.

A solid pain in the ass IMO. I expect an up and down performance and for the quarter final to be damn good.

See you on the 29th... you guys have had our number so I'm expecting a close game and a likely loss.

no controversies

Really? Look to some Slovak hockey forums debate. You can find a lot of them. For example:

- Why is Tomik there? Didnt played any single game
- Satan... You guess what is going on...
- Massive Straka hype from his agent didnt worked well
- never ending Molnar story

I dont care about Slovak hockey forums. Most of them are 2 weeks hockey fans.
I like Tomik, Feneš knows him from Trencin. Maybe the best tools from players born in 07.
There is no problem with Satan. Looked very good vs Germany in both games. After Dvorsky and Pobezal, we dont really have centres. Hes really good for bottom 6 and PK.
Straka - yes, im surprised by his omission. Way better option than Kukumberg.
Molnar was injured and hes currently out of shape + hes a criminal but idk if you care about this.
