GDT: Czech Republic - US of A

[Czechboy]

where are the fans? It's awfully quiet in the Arena

I look forward to this tourney going back to Slovakia or Czech tbh.

Yes, the atmosphere is always electric there.

So many empty seats, the U.S doesn't seem to have to deal with a rabid crowd against them for once at this thing in a win or go home game, that helps.

I'd say it's an ECHL atmosphere.lol

PP coming up .. we did spring Kubalik.

Our 33% PP is impressive but the Swiss and Canucks figured it out pretty easy... don't let them pass to Kubalik. That's it.

It's awful, can't recall this before for a quarter final game.

Advantage U.S.A on that front.

 

[Chainshot]

Unnecessary from Samberg. Seems like something that they don't want to do today.

Slow tempo in this game

 

[Czechboy]

I should say in Kari's defense... our 1C Chytil getting hurt was not on him. Our 2C Sedlak getting hurt was not on him either. Jiricek getting hurt in a exhibition game also wasn't on him.

All 3 would be on the PP right now.

Czech p.p.

Germany up 1-0 in the other game

 

[Czechboy]

However.lol Making Sobotka (whom I like) our 1C is madness... giving him PP time and net front at that (he's short) is something else. But I think Sobotka embodies everything Kari loves and a guy like Vrana is everything he hates.

 

[matsqq]

USA stepping up, looks like a PP even though it's 5 on 5 , and now goal !!!

 

[Old Man Jags]

Damn

 

[Chainshot]

Coronato opens the scoring. That was a lot of cycling, great forecheck.

 

[martygod12]

well as expected, we are playing the same passive, unwatchable and just terrible shit like against canada ...

Kari please go, we dont want to watch our team play like this

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Keep that forecheck going.

 

[jj cale]

You could see that coming, the U.S was shaking and baking down there and showing off their skating and puck moving skill in spades.

Gonna be a long day for the Czechs I think.

 

[martygod12]

2 shots from us ... so what Kari, will this be another good period like that first against Canada?? Will you be satisfied with this???

 

[jj cale]

Keep that forecheck going.

It was simply excellent work down there........just great.

 

[Czechboy]

Czech p.p.

Germany up 1-0 in the other game

That's going to OT... I think people are sleeping on what a pain in the ass the German's can be (as a compliment)

Kubalik had a super chance!

 

[Czechboy]

It's rare you see a spin around shot hit 2 opposing players skates and go in but here you go.

Knot scored one on Vejmelka too... never saw him again.lol

Dvorak to Jordan and Goal!

FTR.. Dvorak and Jordan are 2 of the guys we've been bitching about! Jordan was an older player without much left at htis level. Dvorak isn't at this level and won't be. He's late 20's and a decent Euro player... similar to what Denmark or Norway would employ.

A new coach can do wonders - former swedish coach Garpenlöv had an awful track record, worst in history ,but we got Sam Hallam now and results have been much better in the Euro hockey tour at least - however this WC will be the real test !

This USA team is really fast and skilled, some classic Czechs counter-attacks will be needed

 

[jj cale]

Czechs have to up their compete level here real quick or it's going to be 2-0 here before you know it.

one team looks better than the other
