Czechs in North America

[Fil]

I think their might be a mental healthy type issue too. I'm guessing but something strange happened. Hope he's all sorted.

On a good news note... our EHT tour should be stacked.lol We are starting to have a almost Finnish like home league with good players for a base for World Championships...

Kempny, Hajek, Kundratek are all still effective

Kaut, Zadina, Simon, O. Kase, Cervenka, Sedlak, Zohorna and, most likely, Kubalik are also very good on the NT

Our Euro contingent is definitely stronger than normal years. Also guys I like include Chlapik, Spacek and Tomasek.

Plus a whole slew of young guys just returned and hopefully they get some looks and proper ice time. Eg. Malik, Rysavy, Hujer, Kubicek, Teply, Has, Sapousek, Moravec and Pekar. Hope they get ice time and develop further!

A little bit unrelated but I think our League is better than Finnish League now

It's closer than it's ever been.

BUT

I still see teenage Czechs going to Liiga.. I don't see any young Finn's coming to Extraliga.

Eg. I think Kos and Katolicky are in Finland. I could be wrong of course.

Forza Ambrì!

Kubalik does have an NHL out clause. He can leave Ambri until mid December.
It's pretty clear Kubalik wants to play in the NHL but he wants to do it on his own terms.

Another one bites the dust...

And another.one goes
And another one goes

And another one bites the dust

 

[Czechboy]

Our Europe contingent is getting to be pretty good.lol.

Kubalik and zadina gone. Vrana by a thread.

I say 60-40 he ends up in Sweden.

they are yes but I dont think either will play much

Vrana goes to Swiss or Sparta mark my words, but I think he will make the Caps roster though

God I hope so... I think ovi is in for a decline so it may have been a smart pto location.

Shitty news.. our Euro contingent is getting stronger IMO but we lost Nedved who is an excellent GM. Replacements sounds like Havlat who was a tremendous hockey player and an absolute shit GM.lol

Oh not this shit with Havlat again ... that guy was a complete clown as GM

 

[Czechboy]

Well you can't expect him to know about our 15 players in the AHL.lol.

 

[Fil]

we fired him now he is coming back why....?

 

[Fil]

Oh not this shit with Havlat again ... that guy was a complete clown as GM

never forget IIHF WC 2023.. gives me the shivers just thinking about it. remember when Martin Kaut was going to score our goals lol

 

[martygod12]

Well you can't expect him to know about our 15 players in the AHL.lol.

So that's why everyone is returning to Europe lol. They know Havlat just take Pasta and Necas from NHL and won't bother to talk to anyone else

 

[martygod12]

So I quicky looked at how we stand with our NHL skaters for the next season.

And we have only 12!!!! guaranteed (or hopefully guaranteed) skaters in the NHL next season. 14 with Jiricek and Kulich, but they can go either way. Can make a whole season or play 20 games.

This is rock bottom guys. We are basically at the level of Switzerland and Slovakia right now as for number of NHL skaters.

Only thing left is to hope for a lot of surprising full season appearances from guys like Vrana, Rousek, Blumel, Spacek, Svozil, Klapka, Jeník etc. But I am not very optimistic lol. If one of them gets full season I think we will be grateful

100 years ago Latvians were the ones who actually introduced ice hockey to Russia and they still use some Latvian terms in modern day Russia.

I'm not sure what that does have to do with 2024, but since we're talking about hockey history it's about as relevant

It's like waiting for grass to grow or watching paint dry in the NHL for us right now.lol

Pardubice demolished a Finn team in CHL.

I quickly looked and they got some great players.. Cervenka, Hajek, Kaut, Musil, Sustr, Sedlak and Radil. That is some very strong players for the Extraliga!
