Seems fine. The flip of Sale off the first line did good things for both Sapovaliv-Kulich and for Sale yesterday.

His last goal passed Frolik for the most by a Czech player since they became their own team in the WJC.
This pass though to the backside of the Swiss PK to Becher who then puts it back to Sapousek for the goal...

Kulich with bronze medal player of the game.

Kulich with 2 G and 2 primary A captaining Czechia to bronze. 6-6-12 in 7 GP. Watching these celebratory scenes, it's clear why Adams felt this was the best way for Jiri to spend the past two weeks. They should really send Adams a bronze of his own because none of that happens without JK.
He has to be one of the best WJC players of all-time with a silver and a bronze over three editions, racking up 15-14-29 in 21 GP. Ridiculous numbers.

Must feel fantastic to win his last game at the WJC. As the saying goes, you lose the silver medal, but you win the bronze.
Outstanding tournament and legendary finish for his WJC career.

Not sure if any of them ever made it over his head onto his neck.I know of a guy who had three golds at the U20's.

Some historical perspective:
Kulich is 13th all-time in WJC points. The only player to have more than him in the 21st century is Connor Bedard.
Kulich is 10th all-time in WJC goals. The only player to have more than him in the 21st century is Alexander Ovechkin.

I went to look at the number of games those other two played and was surprised that that AO played on the U20 team during the WJC 3 years in a row.

Yeah Kulich's stats aren't quite as impressive when you look at a per game basis, but raw production is raw production.
AO played WJC in his D+1 due to the lockout I imagine, in addition to his D+0 and D-1 years. 18 G in 18 GP lol.

Kulich was probably on weaker teams. Hard to compare, but he was productive and has a bronze. All positive from a prospect development perspective.
It seems with Jost down, they've moved Kulich back to the wing. One primary and one secondary assist at 5-on-5 since returning, no goals. I fear that they're going to Reichel this kid up after trying to make him into an AHL center.
Should have just kept him on wing wouldn't be the first time the Sabres fumbled a prospect by trying to shoehorn him into role that isn't suited to their playstyle or skillset

He's has all of the qualities I've grown to hate in a Sabre. I really want to trade him before everyone else catches on.
