Kempny is better than Kindl, that's obvious. Kindl played only about 30 games for Florida. Kempny played 50 games, but for Chicago. Difference.
8 goals against defense which was combined from Hedman, Stralman, Klingberg, Ekman-Larsson, Brodin and Rosen.![]()
World class defense.
*Gets dominated by KHL-forwards. Czechs win 8-4.
Beat Finland!
Dont want to be pessimistic but there were only 4 forwards from KHL in czech team.
This is all about team work imo. Not sure wheather its enough for medal but it would be nice. I ike Cervenka that much but I have to admit he is very consistent on this level. Kovar is ok, but his skating. I was very immpressed by forwards from czech league. But this ussually changes in WHC where they lack experiences so we therefore there still will be guys like Kaspar etc in team...Haha, true. Jan Kovar is one of the best forwards in Europe, just like Cervenka.
Birner is PPG player in NLA, and played on World Cup team.
They are not like your average KHL and Euro forwards.
And then there is Voracek, obviously, with 4 assists today.
I'm concerned about our goalies but I'm not concerned with how we play. Many of these situations happen because we're not playing 110%. Hockey is about mentality.
