I thought 2 guys were out for game 2? Didn't krebs come in?
Also, didn't they get killed in both games?
I saw scores of 4-1 and 3-1. 7-2 in total. I'm not sure anyone is coming home looking like a hero right now.
Speaking specifically for the Benson-Cozens-Quinn line becoming Kulich-Cozen-Quinn. The difference with Kulich vs. without was shockingly bad.

Fair and I get you want to keep telling us how bad you think Kulich is but they lost 4-1 the first game with kulich in the stands. No one is playing well. If you left game 1 thinking everything is great then I have bad news for you. They got tanked twice. Once with Kulich and once with Benson. I'd say it has to do with a lot more than those 2 guys and the team is off to a very bad start. By all means, post the fancies for all the sabres forwards... I'd love to see who looks good after the first 2 games. I'll start... Kulich's are really bad. What about the rest? Because the team stats are 0-2 and 1 goal per game while allowed 3.5 against. That's not good.

Told you Marty.. team 3 coming up.lol Or he's in Providence for a long time. Surprised by Bussi.. thought the B's were high on him to be honest.
No, I want you to pump the brakes on the idea that a 20-year old kid is for sure ready and better than productive NHLers, which has been your and others claim. The evidence so far is that he is less ready and it did not go well in comparable situations to someone who some in this thread said he was superior to as of today.
Nor did I say everything was great after game 1. Strawman is straw. Man, I'm starting to understand the distaste for Oiler fans on this site.

Ouch.. Jenik didn't make it. Skarek has no chance of being claimed with Bussi and Patera available. Rousek is disapointing.

Maybe time to take a break from the Czech thread. You seem to be getting ruder and ruder. You don't see me on the Sabres thread, do you?
If you can find a quote from me that says Kulich is better than productive NHLers please quote it and I'll defend what I said.
You're now taking shots at Oilers fans on a Czech thread too. Again, maybe time to pump the brakes. Also, I can't stand HFOil and you'll never see me on there either.
And, if you look up, you will say that all of us totally agree he played like shit in Prague. Not one poster is defending that shitty game. marty said it, I said it. goodman said it. Easily found and quoted. Most of us have also said he's going to AHL after that. Easily found as well.
If you want to talk hockey, would love to chat.

I don't either.. my understanding (which could be dead wrong) is that we have 3 options
1. they release him from the PTO and he's done (no AHL)
2. they announce a 1 or 2 year contract for him and he made it
3. another team signs him as he's available to anyone and everyone
If it's 1, I'd expect a tweet within 24 hours announcing him in NLA or SHL.
What concerns me is that the Caps played their last exhibition game yesterday and he wasn't on the ice.
Yeah, but he did played other preseason games and did not looked bad, idk we will see. Hope he makes it, such a shame of a great player damn.
Jenik being waiwed is suprise and I really expected he will be in that 4th line damn.
We might as well look just at that 12 skaters this year lol

See you in Plzen next year David lol
Honestly f*** this shit already, we really cant have one stupid player to make any impact in the NHL ?? Everyone will just crumble into dust after the draft.
I am sure that if we had a McDavid or Bedard type of prospect, he will flop too and after few 20-30 points seasons, he will be back in europe by the time he hit 24 lol
Depressing this shit really

I'd love to say you are wrong but it is getting depressing. Just wait till Ivan plays more than Kulich this season.lol.
Or svozil more than jiricek.
I hope benak and Mrtka go in round 5.. they'll have a better chance of making NHL

Just rumours for now but it appears Vrana is signing a contract with the Caps today. Some good news if true!

Again, not 100% but it would appear that Klapka made the Flames.
Ivan is looking likely as well.
Vrana signing seems imminent.
Nothing 100% but 3 nice things. Now someone claim Jenik and get Patera a steady home!

Patera back to Vancouver.
No one wanted Jenik, Rousek or Skarek.

Really does appear that Ivan will make his debut Wednesday!
So Lauko, Klapka, Ivan and Vrana all appear to have made their teams starting rosters! Kulich should get another game or 2 as Sabres have some injuries but he needs to do more. Jiricek also appears to have made team but he needs to improve quickly.
Not a bad day really for Czechs 4th liners!

I saw Jiricek and i i think he is going to be one of the worst czech busts since Zboril, he just can´t skate and he somehow looks even more lost and slow than before, and worst thing is that he is RHD so that sht hurts like hell. So i got excited for Kulich and his debut and surprise, surprise he was horrible as well lol!
Nice news, baby steps lol. So this is Klapka, Vrana, Lauko, Ivan .. with those 12 locks thats 16 players ... with Kulich and Jiricek (which are both one leg in AHL, but still there lol) thats 18 .. thats actually better then I thought.
Still some will drop .. cough cough Jiricek
... so we better looking at 15-16 guys for this season, thats at least not less then last season. So at least something.

And 8 goalies in and out as well.Nice news, baby steps lol. So this is Klapka, Vrana, Lauko, Ivan .. with those 12 locks thats 16 players ... with Kulich and Jiricek (which are both one leg in AHL, but still there lol) thats 18 .. thats actually better then I thought.
Still some will drop .. cough cough Jiricek
Will be curious to see how it ends.. eg. Can klapka and Ivan stick? What does Vrana do?
Do any of the AHL guys push their way back? Pavel, rychlovsky, svozil, jenik, skarek, rousek come to mind. What about blumel? Hovorka? Kral?
I'm not expecting a great season for czechs but a few lucky bounces (like rittich last year) would be nice
