Dreaded Czech U18 Thread

The degradation of our quality of play is really astonishing. Just a reminder, that this is more or less the team that play toe to toe with far better Canadian team in the Hlinka´s final in August. Now, we cant even get out of our zone and Canadians are skating around us like if we were practice dummies

Truly astonishing what Cermak did with this team lol

Well look at that Mrtka actually did a top level prospect play lol

Changes nothing in my statement, we still getting wrecked lol
 
So f***en close. I think we played great. Sucks we lost. But I thought we played very well. Poletin was a very nice surprise. Shame mrtka didn't score on his breakaway.

Did anyone expect anything else? We've been talking about it for so long that it had to come.
Otherwise, Poletín mainly kept us in the game, without him the decision would have been made much earlier.
 
It turned out exactly as it should have. Canada was the better team and we absolutely did not deserve to play in the semi-finals throughout the tournament. I write this knowing that we really fought as a team today, but we deserved to be eliminated from the tournament.
Overall it was a huge disappointment.

Good game yesterday, I really didnt expect to watch till the end and cheer like crazy lol. Shame we couldnt bring it home. But I dont think Canadians were that much better yesterday. We finally played on the level which was expected from this team and the difference was crazy. Canadians were better in 2nd period, but 1st and 3rd were pretty even. In the OT then it was pretty one sided, cause going 3 on 3 with Canada is just brutal, but still we could have won this, that Mrtka solo and shot which went over the shoulder of Canadian goalie almost went in lol.

But overall I agree that this was another disastrous tournament, and for the whole tournament we didnt deserve to win yesterday. It all goes on the shoulders of Cermak, who is just not a real coach. With such a team he should have achieved just much more, then one lousy 4:2 over relegated Switzerland.

Poor choice of GKs, Katolicky completely sidelined and misused, absolutely 0 mental preparation for the tournament, besided of Katolicky he barely touched the lines eventhough it clearly wasnt working, and yesterday idk but I think he f***ed up the OT too to a degree. I mean against Canada with 3 on 3 you just want to put your best players in there and try to end it quickly ... yet no Benak and Novotny for the opening faceoff. I am so glad that he is ending, didnt thought someone could be worse then Petr lol. Lets see how Tomajko does, but the bar is not set very high.

Hopefully it will be better next year, with Poletin in net from the start. But overall we probably wont have that strong team as this year ... Novotny wont be eligible if I am correct since he is born in November ... so that will suck big time .. there will still be Poletin, Dravecky, Katolicky (hopefully used properly) and Novak ... and from the younger group Kachlir, Byrtus, Hartl, Tomek and there is still that Taliga kid, although I am not that convinced about him, he dominated but as a 16yrs old in a U16 league, so thats not really that impressive. Some guys will hopefully pop out during next season, and with better coach and proper GK, we can actually make bigger success than this last two years.

Damn two years in a row now we had a team which was legit medal contender ... we won 3 games with those teams ... just let that sink in lol
