GDT: Czechia Vs Switzerland | 5:00PM ET | Group B - TD Place

[Czechboy]

We are well balanced but we need a more dominant line.

This and I see endless possibilities for that. Including Benak who is watching at home like we are.lol

As a Blues fan, I was impressed by Kos when he came for the prospect camp in St. Louis. I loved his skating and motor. I thought he was a potential player to look out for and believe he’s an underrated prospect for St. Louis.

So far, he looks great. He’s everywhere on the ice and making some excellent plays with the puck at speed. His lone goal might have been a fluke, but he could have at least 2 or 3 points today.

 

[Czechboy]

Yeah. It's honestly a pretty even game. Czechia deserves to have a lead but they're lucky to be up by 3. The first goal for Czechia was a beauty. Nice play by Galvas and an excellent deflection by Holinka.

Czechia scored two goals because of controversial calls against Switzerland though and one of them was pure luck as the puck went off both Swiss defensemen.

100% We got a few bounces to help us. Lots of hockey left.

 

[Hazy Little Thing]

I'm not 100% the score is relfective of the game. Swiss have had some great looks. Hrabal has been outstanding. Our 1st line needs rejigging. And I don't mean benching Sale becuase he's not carrying Masta to a .ppg. Get Kos, Jecho or Stancl up there.

Thrilled with a lead. Thrilled Hrabal is playing great. Galvas has been very noticeable. Ecstatic Jiricek is playing for us as that was a big question mark. Feel like we are rolling the lines well. All 3 PP's looked good. PK has been fine. Some major gaffes but Hrabal keeps saving us.

It’s been a pretty even game with Czechia getting the bounces and calls so far.

 

[Hinterland]

I watched one pre-tournament game and looked at some stats and it already seems obvious that that should be the top PP unit lol

Swiss Mickey Mouse coaches probably won't get it all tournament long.

 

[Czechboy]

Galvas love.

We definitely need to play on diferent level if we want to think about medal. Lines needs to be shuffleled, its not working properly so far imo.

I would keep line 2, put Kos to line 1, give CIhar and Novotny bigger space, Masta lesser role, Husinecky as little time on ice as possible

2nd period was better, but yeah we are lucky so far and have Hrabal in the back who is amazing so far

I've heard it's a shitty Yellowstone.

Same Writer/Director. Its an interesting premise but the storyline is very predictable, a lot of the things that are said about the oil industry are just flat out wrong and the female characters are basically unbearable to watch. And is not some crazy feminist take. They have literaly the IQ of a birdseed and its just frustrating as a viewer to witness it. There are a lot of scenes of Ali Larter and her "daughter" sun bathing and working out in the gym though if thats your thing.

Like I said...if Hrabal can keep this up it's gonna take crazy deflections or odd man rushes to beat him. Or PP's. I don't think the Swiss have understood this. Can't waste your PP opportunities like that. With Hrabal in net Czechia may not have to score a lot even against top teams. As long as they play solid defense and don't take too many penalties at least.

On the plus side Neuenschwander looks just as sharp as Hrabal. I feel bad for the goals against because he really didn't have a chance but if he can keep this up he's gonna have a good tournament. The Swiss are gonna need solid goaltending if they wanna win games.

The answer is Ali Larter.. Don't anyone every accuse me of not providing good content on HF>lol

She literary looks like Wish version of my sister.

 

[Czechboy]

if thats your thing.

It might be but, if I'm being honest, I'd be watching for Billy Bob as I'm a huge fan of his roles/acting. But I have yet to hear antyhing that makes me want to watch. So I'll just keep googling Ali. since i'm off topic... Penguin was damn good!

 

[Czechboy]

There are 3 Czech vs Swiss games today.lol Wonder how many Vojtech's played in total?

 

[Czechboy]

Sikora working some magic there.. he hhas some moxy. It's crazy that I love the first 3 lines so much better than the top line. Especially because Sale is my fav forward on the team.lol

 

[Czechboy]

Galvas draws a penatly.. he's everywhere.

 

[czechcanadian]

That Sikora sequence….

 

[Czechboy]

Thought we had it... post! Think that was Masta... definitely a sale Pass!

Yeah I also though it was in lol, shame could have been done game

Then Hrabal saved the day again lol

 

[Hinterland]

No doubt about that one. For a change that's a clear penalty. I like Dorthe a lot but discipline (or lack there of) has always been a knock on him.

 

[Czechboy]

Jecho with a great look too! Jiricek with a nice elusive move.

 

[Czechboy]

Then Hrabal saved the day again lol

Barring a meltdown.. 1st star of game without a doubt.

 

[martygod12]

Stancl, nice play, that was class

 

[Czechboy]

Just occured to me.. is Dvorak playing? I can't remember one play.. good or bad.

Another pipe but Stancl (who should be on line 1 and PP1) makes up for it.

 

[martygod12]

From replay it was also lucky lol, but nice play nontheless

 

[GettingYourMoms]

WHAT A GOAL ŠTANCL!

 

[jj cale]

Solid start to the tournament for the Czechs.
