GDT: Czech Republic/Czechia/El Chechiorono vs U.S.A. @7:30pm PT/ 10:30pm ET/ 4:30am CEST

[PanniniClaus]

They showed the top 10 plays from the 21-22 DEL season. Guess who was featured on one of them?

Tobias Rieder.

Bob Nicholson will hurl a beer at the TV if he sees that.

 

[Summer Rose]

Someone should give Christoph Stadtler some coffee or something. He's really quiet this period.

Then again, it's not like we came out blazing like I expected us to. Czechs are doing a good job of shutting down our breakout attempts.

 

[Chainshot]

Well theres no guns blazing.

There wasn't in a lot of their last game against Sweden either, offensively this U.S team is now making me wonder.

They have a lineup of high-speed worker bees but don't have the natural finish.

 

[Czechboy]

Kulich is more likely a top 6 guy... Needs to bury that. Great save.

 

[Go19]

USA getting whipped in battles right now - and they keep putting a wounded Hughes out there - he nearly cost them on that shift

 

[Hemsky001]

Mysak and Kulich are both level above the rest of our team. Couldn't be more obvious.

They have a lineup of high-speed worker bees but don't have the natural finish.

I'm starting to question their overall ability there.

 

[Czechboy]

Unfortunately... Czechs have to grind and slow it down

 

[Czechboy]

Suchanek!!!

 

[czechcanadian]

Man Kulich is really good tonight

 

[bsu]

Yawn.... Hughes is either milking it or should not be playing. One or the other.

 

[Hisch13r]

Yawn.... Hughes is either milking it or should not be playing. One or the other.

"Milking it" Yes because he would be actively trying to be worse

 

[Go19]

Czechia stick work giving USA fits

 

[Xirik]

can the coaching staff get Hughes out of the game please?

 

[Czechboy]

Needs to be said... Beauty setup by us for that chance. That was a 2 on 4 and the 2 won

 

[Czechboy]

can the coaching staff get Hughes out of the game please?

I know he is hobbled but what happened?

 

[Hemsky001]

Whoa, Is this real?

 

[jj cale]

shoot the puck!! 2-1

 

[Summer Rose]

Well that was a snipe. Shit.

 

[Czechboy]

4th line goal!

And a lot of people in Lake Louise think I'm crazy

 

[Chainshot]

Wakey, wakey Team USA.

 

[Xirik]

I know he is hobbled but what happened?

stepped on a stick while skating in a bad rutt in the ice. its still not entirely clear.

The way he's acting I'm starting to wonder if he perhaps is dealing with a charlie horse and he's just trying to work through the muscle tightness?

 

[Go19]

USA needs to stop the long passes into dead ends at blue line where the player receiving is closely covered - need to hit him earlier to give him room to take pass and skate into zone

 

[Czechboy]

Sniper goal too... Hesitated for a better angle.

Jiricek point to boot... He is due for a good game
