GDT: Cesko vs USA, Dec 29, 11am EST

[The Gr8 Dane]

Was that a powerplay

 

[WarriorofTime]

Hutson should have moved to wing when he was 13. It's hard to picture that rover game he plays being too good at the NHL as he's usually not the best skater on the ice against high level competition.

 

[theslatcher]

Just tuned in but Craig already sounds especially surly

Isn't he usually surly when NA teams aren't in the lead?

 

[Czechboy]

50 minutes and tied...

f***en beautiful

 

[TLEH]

Howard Nazar Brindley easily the best line for the USA.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Czechs getting to lots of loose pucks. Brindley playing his ass off that last shift.

Enjoying this game way more than that POS Canucks/ Flyers “pro” game last night!

frankly an impressive performance from Craig to get this many words out whilst gargling on the american balls as usual

Flyers are sneaky good tbh. No idea how and I think it's Tortorella tbh.

 

[Czechboy]

Galvas has zero fear stepping up.. love to see it. This tiny little man keeps making great plays against the US.

 

[Northerner]

USA is sloppy. They don't deserve to win this game

He’s been awesome so far! No hesitation in his game at all.

Good but smothering and boring….

 

[Czechboy]

For a stay at home D.. Cech does some silly things.lol His big advantage is that it's his third year and he's reliable. I'm not sure that is what I'm seeing.

 

[Pieck]

Big fan of Hamara. Seems really smart and skilled. Nowhere nearly as flashy as Svozil but he’s kind of playing that role for the Czechs this year

 

[TheDoldrums]

Only started watching late in the 2nd but the Nazar-Brindley line seems to be the only one looking real dangerous for the US

 

[Czechboy]

We don't play tomorrow.. 5 left. I'd start double shifting some guys. Once we shorten the benches, for 5 minutes, we match up nicesly agains the US.

It's when we roll 4 lines that the massive advantage is evident.lol

His game is what makes him special though, I don't see how he'd be a particularly great wing. He's a unique talent, maybe an NHL coach will figure out how to maximize his skill/game. Maybe 7D becomes a more standard lineup and he plays the PP.

Yup.. good at both ends and plays the most minutes!

He reminds me of an old school Czech D like spacek or Slegr. Plays both ends well. Not elite at either but good at both. I think he etches out an NHL career.

 

[TLEH]

Nazar is sneaky dirty at times.

 

[Czechboy]

Kudos to the TSN Cameraman for being able to find some fans. The zoom is working on the camera.

 

[hockey20000]

looks like there is atleast 6-7 legit teams who could win a medal this year cze or finland can def pull aupset in a game qf.. and slovakia will probs be favorite in there qf

Best of all he’s a senator

 

[novisor]

Craig Button giving more credit to American turnovers for the score then Czechs..
what a guy.
Doesn’t suit his narritive I guess

I always take a picture of his prediction on the preview show. He's usually way off. Yet to be seen this year.

 

[Czechboy]

What a block! Becher too! US are all over us right now!!!
