What could we expect from a team which has chosen the worst song in the entire long and sad history of stupid songs as their goal horn? I've just read the female "singer" featuring on that song is currently selling her used panties, so maybe some of the dudes will make himself happy.
OK, now seriously: The crazy strategy for the QF wasn't the main issue for me. They could either play like this and have at least some, albeit minimal, chances for success, or try to play a "normal" game and lose 2-10 or similar. The main problem was the game vs. Slovakia, which was certnainly winnable but the team was just playing too bad, and then the game vs. Sweden, where they were playing good, but the naïve coach's mistake which caused the 2men advantage for Sweden cost us the game. Against the US it was apparent that they had approximately 0,5 % chances, and I am even OK with the strategy, unlike some experts. It is still a competition, the goal should be to play the way that gives you at least some chance to win, not "lose with dignity". I am not buying this cliché.
All in all, this team was not strong in particular, there weren't many really talented players. But even considering this, they should have been better in the tournament.

Slovaks against the USA. What a difference in game concept against our team. They will lose, yes, but the hockey is watchable and their fans have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. What a difference against the magister and his team. How much better is the Slovak team than ours on paper?
And I would say that a 3-goal lead is very cruel for the Slovaks. They also had plenty of chances.

They also got trashed 7:1 And could be even more. Dont get me wrong I am no way defending Petr. I dont like him and Iam glad he is gone, but that criticism about the qf that I dont get.
How Is getting trashed 7:1 better then defending style 4:1, And it was actually 2:1 7minutes before end dont forget that.
Yeah Slovaks game may be watchable but they were out of any chances by the end of 1st period. Whereas we with out unwatchable defense, we were practicaly in game till 53minute cause it was 2:1 by then. And isnt the result the main thing that matters after all?
I would just repeat myself.
The Slovaks, with a qualitatively similar team, played brave hockey, which was a joy to watch.
The completely incompetent Czech coach prescribed a rotten tactic, we fully deserved the shame.
