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

[Czechboy]

I actually thought the third was relatively even?

1st .. all US
2nd.. slightly Czech
3rd.. even? Slight US?

 

[tobu]

Loser point, at least, should keep U.S. out of playing Canada or Sweden in the quarters which is all that really matters.

USA can still loose the overtime, loose to Slovakia and finish 3rd and get USA or CAN.

 

[MTU34]

Is it just me or has the extra day of rest mattered much more this year than it has in the past? Seems like almost everyone has struggled on the second half of a back to back

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Almost as if they don't play 82 games.

I mean it’s not like these are the kids first games of the season lol

 

[Czechboy]

Kulich is struggling today...

not sure if giving Gauthier a clear breakaway ten seconds in was Plan A.lol

Win or lose.. Hrabal is our POTG.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Solid pass by Hutson to give Gauthier the partial breakaway.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Do these CZE kids play 3 on 3 overtime in their leagues?

 

[nucks88]

Uh oh

 

[hockey20000]

[SI90]

US has to score on this PP

Absolutely, I hardly even noticed it in the past

 

[WarriorofTime]

Refs weren't sure if they wanted to call it.

 

[Czechboy]

f***.. thought we were holding on nicely ... dumb play from Melosky... nowhere near our net and not under threat.

Good TO call from US coach.

TBH.. it's a good character test for us.

Hrabal is definitely legit

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

extremely tough one to take right there

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Czechia doesn't seem as comfortable with 3 on 3 so far

 

[Czechboy]

I don't know but almost everyone on the ice plays in the CHL and one in the AHL. We are very North American based.

 

[czechcanadian]

Aww darn that’s probably game.. bad penalty.
If Czechs kill this then they deserve the win big time

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Big opportunity here with the PP

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Outside shot, outside shot.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Does Gautier ever hit the net?

 

[SI90]

Omg so close

 

[Czechboy]

Thought it was in.. can't wait to see that replay.

 

[Cleetus]

Huge pk.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

lol maybe take the puck to the net? soft
