If Elias can play it would be a huge boast to the Czech team. He was clearly one of their better forwards in the World Cup. It would add good PK threat also.
If I'm the Czech manager I'd want to replace Hejduk and Elias with Erat and Hemsky. Skill for skill, youth for experience. Erat and Hemsky both lit it up in the Extraliga playoffs and should get a chance.
So no consideration for petr prucha? he was one of the czech republics best forwards last year and had an outstanding playoffs for pardubice...
i know the team is stacked but hey...

Does that mean he can't make the team now? Also, if he can make the team do you think he has a good shot?
Ok, so my Czech isn't great or anything, but I've been working on it all season while some of my favorite boys have been over there, and some of the things I've been picking up lately have been upsetting me. Please tell me that my Czech sucks and I'm totally wrong here, ok?
Hamrlik is not going to be playing. That much is pretty simple.
Havlat is not on the guarenteed list, and is, in fact, on the cusp of being cut?
Jagr is going to play center, with possibly Sykora and Straka as his wings?
There's some question about whether Vokoun or Hnilicka will be the starting goalie?
As of this moment (and there are still three more prepatory games to be played, blah blah), the lineup looks something like...
Goal:
Hnilicka, Svoboda, Vokoun
Defense:
Fischer, F. Kaberle, T. Kaberle, Kubina, Slegr, Spacek, Zidlicky (Pilar and Hejda likely cut)
Forward:
Cajanek, Dvorak, Hemsky, Jagr, Prospal, Prucha, Rucinsky, Straka, Sykora, Varada, Vasicek, Vrbata, Vyborny (Rucinsky questionable due to injury; Havlat, Hlavac, Kotalik likely cut)
C'mon, I know there are Czechs and Slovaks lurking out there who can help us stupid North Americans out.

Why the hell would they cut Havlat? Defense looks pretty good.joolzie said:Ok, so my Czech isn't great or anything, but I've been working on it all season while some of my favorite boys have been over there, and some of the things I've been picking up lately have been upsetting me.

Is Prucha really on the roster? Do you have any link? I know that he was great in the PO's but I would be really suprised if he made the team. He only played in one tournament this winter, in the Karjala Cup and had a terrible tournament, IMO. Still would love to see him in the WC again.
If Havlat& Hlavac are cut its because they aren't the type of players that will thrive on a limited role on a 4th line. Its like Markus Näslund and Mikael Nylander beeing cut several times from the Swedish team. If Ruziska(sp?) is high on having Hemsky on the team Hlavat could very well end up making the team! Straka is a lock with Jagr. Dvorak is a lock with Prospal. I belive Varada is a lock as the 4th line RW. So that leaves the 2nd line RW spot next to Vyborny open, end Hemsky have played there before and is on fire!
My bet is that the Chechz lineup will look something like this:
Sykora!-Jagr!-Straka!
Prucha?/Vrabata?/Hlavac-Vyborny!-Hemsky!
Rucinsky?-Prospal!-Dvorak!
Vrabata?-Vasicek?/Cajanek?-Varada! //Vrbata&Vasicek have played together in the national team and NHL before... But is Vasicek at LW with Cajanek in the middle a option, then Vrbata could be bumped, but Vrabata have played some with Vyborny before and could bump Prucha!
!=locks
?=questionmarks!
Maybe you are rind Prucha actually will make the team, they seems to have a shortage of LW's...

He's going to have an operation for his knee.
Guys , I'm really impressed.The team looks good , the defence isn't bad and Vokoun is a hell of a goalie.I think , with Hejduk they'd have been even more dangerous offensively but I think the offence will do fine with Jagr , anyways.
I don't think , they're the favourites but I expect them to win atleast a medal (bronze).
Nah , the most of the teams will have troubles to shutdown the Canadian team.They've a solid top six and their team is filled with checking specialists.So , we all again expect them to win the gold mdeal (doh!).I don't know who's gonna be the other favourites to win a medal , maybe Russia/Usa.
You guessed right.Bonde 007 said:Any updates on the Czech roster?
More work for 12# Peter Bondra i guess
Jagr at training today play as a center between Sykora and Straka. Rucinsky is healthy again.
This is how they trained today:
Brankáři:
Vokoun, Hnilička, Svoboda
Obránci:
Kubina, Hejda
Židlický, Fischer
Šlégr, T. Kaberle
F. Kaberle, Å paček
Pilař
ÚtočnÃci:
Sýkora, Jágr, Straka
Hemský, Prospal, Dvořák
Havlát, Výborný, Čajánek
Průcha, VaÅ¡Ãček, Varaďa
Vrbata, KotalÃk, Hlaváč
Ručinský
I'd still have a difficult time cutting him considering his speed and talent.Anyway,i don't know if the league was high scoring over there this year because his stats did'nt seem so God-awful to me.He started bad but finished o.k. His resume and that talent does'nt get you on the Czech Roster? I'm not sure what to make of that....it could be good and it could be bad.12# Peter Bondra said:

I dont understand why Bulis and Erat ane not on the team
Also the nomination of Hlaváč does not excite me either...
Also, why do you have Ruzicka coach? I think you have better coaches out there.Rogalo said:I dont understand why Bulis and Erat ane not on the team

World cup performance is why he's there.He had to come in for Hlinka and while they started slowly they ended real strong.He's getting another look for sure at this point.12# Peter Bondra said:
