Hard start to a season for czech and slovak prospects lol.

NHL is biased surely, thats only logical explanation ;)
I think Nemec is on a tremendous team with great D and can't get a foothold. However, I think not playing Nemec at NHL level is a stupid move.

I think Jiricek is on a shitshow of a team with a weaker D squad (after the big 3) and isn't doing enough. I don't like how Colubmus is run (Babcock comes to mind) or that they don't play him anywhere. He seems to constantly be watching the sport like you and I.lol

Last year, Nemec was winning. This year, Jiricek is in NHL and Nemec in AHL. It's all weird to me. I do get that D take longer and patience is needed. But if your opponent for ice time is Jack f***en Johnson and you're in the press box.. something is wrong.

Yeah he is great. I always said that he is capable of multiple ppg seasons if given enough space, hope he proves it. Its a huge shame though that Boston sucks so far this year and Pasta in not on top of his game. It would be amazing to watch those two battle for most productive czech in NHL. Well maybe next year lol.

I still think Pasta wins the Czech scoring race.

My dream was Necas to Bruin's. My god would that have been amazing.

Klapka got the call up.. back in NHL for at least 8 more minutes!

So what do you think about Tomasek and Kovarcik? I know they are both older 27-28 but they are having just a phenomenal season so far lol.

You think they will get a NHL contract this year and will try it in NA?

Someone was saying in another thread on this website yesterday that they've never seen a player that "gets blown up" more than Ryan Leonard. I'd actually disagree. Chytil is the worst I've seen. It's a shame because he's a very good hockey player, but he plays too reckless.

His on ice awareness causes a lot of these issues. He needs to adjust how he plays, if he ever gets back on the ice. He has a flaw in his skating stride. He's too crouched down, and susceptible to getting surprised by contact.

Kulich playing tonight! Ivan still in lineup despite some returning players.

Jenik, Klapka, Blumel and Kral continue to perish in AHL.lol

Jiricek situation is bad all around. It seems toxic at this point.lol

I think at least twice it was a really unfortunate injury. But otherwise you're probably right, you see him play much more often.
:facepalm:
