Czechs in North America

[Czechboy]

Sad to see but not surprising. He'll be a very good Euro player and hopefully on the NT.

I was always a big fan tbh and cheering for him to make the NHL somewhere. Another 'baby Jagr' done.

Playoff check in.. who had Zacha as our leading scorer?

Radko legend grows.

First game back, scored this one:



In his own words, he closed his eyes and shot it as hard as he could on this game two opportunity:

 

[Czechboy]

Sutter fired... still hope Vladar gets traded.

I realized that the Western Conference in the NHL playoffs only has 1 Czech - Radek Faksa! Oilers don't have one. Seattle doesn't have one. Dallas has Faksa. LV doesn't have one either.lol

 

[Czechboy]

1 year and 2 way.. going to be a tough go. I assume AHL and hope I'm wrong. Yes, I know Vejmelka did it!

Kulich from Rousek. They advanced.

I really hope the Rousek to Europe rumour isn't true... he's so close to being an NHLer.

Same. For me, he's easily on the team next year.

It's a shame. Another D gone.

FTR.. The EP Rumour thing is 2 for 2.. predicted Stezka and predicted Galvas. Does this mean Rousek is next???? I hope not!

he is just what we need, we dont have many skilled players in malmö.

i will show him what places here that have the best falafel and kebab.

Jakub Krbecek at eliteprospects.com

We have got another goalie in the NCAA from next season. I vaguely remember Krbecek from Sparta. Hope he does well there and one day can turn it into a NHL contract.

He got really good numbers so far as in Czech U20 and the NAHL (cant say what the quality of the league is in American hiearchy though). Maybe another interesting czech goalie to look for in the future years?

Hope Rousek rumour is not true, he has got definitely a quality to be a NHL regular. I kinda think he will get a lot more chances in Buffalo next year, he just has to be patient.

Or maybe he will sign for another NHL team, I guess that there should be at least some interest for a player who was scoring leader for his team in AHL and played great overall no?

He is a restricted free agent, so it's very unlikely that he would sign with anyone else in North America.

Tough to say.. Frk led his AHL team in scoring twice. Galvas led the D in scoring for Chicago's AHL team too!

Too much AHL time can be a bad thing!

The eventual game winning goal, his fourth in four games since returning from injury:

He's either the next Pasta or the next Frk.lol

Kid can shoot! Pasta jokes aside.. we don't have that many shooters and he seems to be a very good sniper. Hope it translates to NHL!

It's neither of those. On the contrary, I'm almost certain he's the kind of player we generally lack. No major weaknesses, assertive, excellent shooter, great skater. More Kulichs like this..

 

[Chainshot]

Kulich now with five goals in five games in the AHL playoffs.



Rousek got his first goal yesterday as well.

 

[Chainshot]

Kulich had two assists on the night and now has a six-game goal scoring streak in the playoffs.



Rousek also had three assists to go along with the goal in tonight's 8-4 elimination game win over the Marlies.

Kulich man, such a beast! I just have the feeling about him, he will be putting 50goals per season one day

 

[Chainshot]

Kulich's playoff goal streak ends at 6 but his point streak continues to 7 games. Rousek's ENG though gives him three straight games with a goal.

Funny thing here... Videos are circulating of Hasek packing up his Nagano gear and such.. putting them in a shopping cart and tossing them into the back of his car.lol

No joke

They closed the Czech Hall of Fame because it was too expensive to run and this was how they resolved the memorabilia issue.lol

I've been to the Hall of Fame and liked it but it was obviously small and it wasn't busy. Did like it though and registered a 100km/h slapper there.hah

This has Hadamczak written all over it to me! Saving money while not developing Jr players or leagues.
