Finland - Czech Republic

[Czechboy]

Fun fact... the pool of death and the 'stronger pool' has lost both their matches so far.

Wait why is Spacek out of lineup? He's got third most points among Czechs. He was quite productive in Tappara as well, but was still benched and released early into the season. Weird stuff.

Also from what I've seen so far Smejkal suddenly feels like maybe skating a little in Czech uniform, which he didn't seem to feel like doing in the playoffs.

 

[Pandaman11]

Remember when we said you have a coaching advantage? This is it.lol

No Spacek is f***en madness! He was an outscorer for us and a nice counter punch.

What about Sekac? Injured?

our coach is spoiled with options and made poor ones

OR

He's a real asshole because Tampara booted him and so did the Jet's.

I'm leaning towards a stupid coach.

I'm not a fan of that one either but he was snakebitten but he was on PP1 at times and had good chemistry in top 6. I think the Finns must be dying to see Flek in our Top 6. Zadina must be sad.

I get what Pesan is doing.. he took out more skill guys and replaced them with vets and grinders who don't make many mistakes. If that was the plan, he should've been doing it the whole time.

Pesan had too much time on his hands.

Gotto pay em potatoes back to czechs! Lundell trick coming

It baffles me, cause he's so good on the puck and has a lethal one timer. He just looks so disinterested a lot of the time. Not someone I would leave out of an elimination game.

 

[Czechboy]

Run on sight

LOL... he sounds like a folk hero. Reminds me of Koller for our soccer team back in the day!

 

[king89]

Let's go SUOMI

 

[mattihp]

Määttä looks up for the game. Maybe another gear from him?

 

[Zub]

I hope the Czhechs win, we don't deserve being in the elimination rounds with the way this team has played and is playing.

 

[mattihp]

Cheeky try from Zads

 

[mattihp]

Määttä has already done more in this game than all of the earlier games put together

 

[Zub]

A team of 80 year old's would even skate circles around this Finnish team.

 

[mattihp]

What is Björninen's faceoff percentage?

 

[mattihp]

Swedish commentator having huge problems with Mäenalanen, settling for Men, Alanen

 

[Gereth]

Poor Hronek with an elbow in his face.

I like Czechs 5v5. I just really hope they stay out of the box. Otherwise they are doomed as usual on this Championship.

 

[mattihp]

Pokka must have the record for most Logos hit with shot.

 

[Zub]

Good hit

 

[mattihp]

Zadina's retaliation was borderline dirty

 

[mattihp]

Klok with the best chance of the game

 

[mattihp]

Czechs a bit sloppy with the puck, finns were going for it and czechs took a penalty. Power play!

 

[Gereth]

Oh, oh. Czechs had quite some momentum going for them, but PK is very worrying given their tournament record.

 

[dryz]

Klok and his stupid plays...

 

[mattihp]

Goaaaaal seconds into the PP. Pakarinen!
