Czechs in North America

[Czechboy]

Yeah thats a bit silly thing to say from Sabres fans. Buffalo is shit for so long I really think the need a breath of fresh air. More importantly, they havent give Kulich a single chance here yet. I mean 1 game in 2 years for a guys who dominates AHL as a U20 player. Surely such a player deserves more then 1 game and no one can convince me other way. This preseason also, he killed it the prospects camp, and then he got 1 single game in preseason and was sidelined lol. Like what the hell? I know we czech may idolize him, and maybe he has gaps in his game yet and so on, but how the hell can you even tell that if he is ready for NHL or not if he hadnt got a single chance yet lol.

I know he got what it takes to be a good NHL player, but I worry he is in a wrong team which will eventually kill him off.

I kinda bashed on him earlier here today and yesterday, but that rant was more oriented to Jiricek who is starting to scare the shit out of me for not developing as he should.

Kulich not in NHL this season will be much more problem of the idiotic coaching of Buffalo, then his lack of skill, and Sabres fans can say what they want lol.

Kulich is most likely a winger which I'd call the easiest NHL position to crack.

Jiricek is a D which I'd call the second hardest spot (behind G) so I'm not as worried.. yet.

Glad y'all can assassinate an entire franchise and its fanbase through stat-watching. Well done.

Did you want to quote the 'assisination of an entire franchise and fanbase for us'?

 

[Chainshot]

I've argued with Sabres fans about this on here.lol

They tell me the top 6 is set. But I see a team that was bottom 10 in scoring last year so how can that be set? Top guy last year was barely in top 100 in scoring. They look like they need some goals to me.

That's you up the page. It's ridiculous to rehash this again.

Yeah stat watching. He is so shit that he lead czech team to back to back medals at WJC, was best player at U18 WCH, played ELH with men at 17, and has over 100 AHL points at the age of 20, while being praised all around.

Surely he is so shit, and was so bad in all those NHL chances he got till now. Oh wait

Great hyperbole. No one said he was shit, but you are one who keeps talking about how he tore up the AHL when he had a nearly 2-month stretch where he didn't score. We're talked about why and that they are trying to get him to the point that he doesn't come up for a look and then get re-assigned, that they want him to graduate and never go back. He's close to that. Which for a 20-year old is certainly an accomplishment.

But man, the over-reactions and hyperbolic stuff is just over the top.

I would agree if he got like 15-20 games already and didnt look ready yet. But from one game in two years you really cant tell if he is good enough to stay permanently or not. Even in the preseason he got nothing. Why they didnt leave him in USA then and let him play the preseason with the other squad? Surely better for him then to go sightseeing around europe.

AHL will not give him anything at this point, there will be a breaking point where he will start to fade out cause he has nowhere to develop further, and I fear Sabres will miss that point and let him out of the NHL for way too long, and in 5 years he will be signing in Pardubice as yet another flop.

Happy sale made AHL! Sad about patera.. especially with Demko out...rest is as expected

And... Lauko Is Injured.
f*** Minnesota

 

[Goodman68]

f*** Minnesota

I don't know exactly what happened to him, but he came back into the game in the third period. Hope he'll be okay. After all, everything can't be completely messed up

I hope he ok for long term

Zboril with a goal and an assist last night... I doubt he gets the PTO but good for him for not giving up! Enjoy Kometa in a month.

Lauko with a goal and an assist as well (I think)... gotta give him credit too! HIs bar will always be Jenik to me. And he's winning.

 

[57special]

Lauko has looked really good. Fast, physical, non stop energy, and a bit of skill mixed in.

I was watching the game VS Chicago yesterday. You definitely noticed him when he on the ice.
He looks good when he plays then 10 minutes a game on Boston lol

Patera claimed by the B's. I was hoping, with Demko injury, that he'd get to 1B in Vancouver to be honest.

No idea how this ends for him. My guess is a 3rd time gets him when he goes on waivers from the Bruin's. I do think he has NHL abiliity and he's hitting a great age. I'll cheer to the end but I have no idea what his finish line looks like.lol

Our goalie pipeline will always be top 5 in international hockey.
I think it is our genetics or something

The dream is

Doatal starter and 50 games
Mrazek starter and 50 games
Vladar gets 40
Vejmelka gets 40
Vanecek with 40
Dobes gets 1 to 5
Patera gets 10 or so
Rittich around 30
One of Stezka, Cajan or skarek makes their NHL debut after injuries.

Do I think this will all happen.. f*** no but that is the dream.

Pipeline looks great too.. auchanek, hrabal, Malek, Milota...

So I agree. But we need a vokoun level starter and a few guys to have great seasons

We already have our Vokoun.
His name is Lukas nedostal

Kral in waivers.. he was injured for preseason. I'm a big fan and keep hoping he makes it. Shame.

Buffalo with 1 goal today in a 4-1 loss in Prague Feel like they could use a goal scorer from the area.lol

I don't care if Buffalo scratches Rousek/Kulich back in NA, but not playing them in their home country in front of all their family relatives and friends is such a dick move by the coach. Buffalo losing and struggling to score sure brought a smile to my face though

There was an injury so maybe we see one of them next game. But, yes, feels like a great way to piss off your first rounder.

Well they sure wouldn't have done any worse with either of them in the line-up. I don't get it, season is 82 games long, what's the harm to give local guys a bit of slack and play them in a couple games? Especially when both are nearly NHL quality, not like we are asking some borderline AHLer to get in. Both got robbed, even though I suspect they will be in tomorrow. If not, Buffalo coach should straight up not be allowed in the arena. lol

I have this crazy theory that svozil will make the blue jackets and jiricek won't.

Jiricek continues his amazing zero point ride lol. Not watching the games, is he getting even PP time and not getting anything?

I was so sure once he gets a PP spot the points will just keep coming thanks to that crazy shot of his.
