U20: Five Nations Tournament in Chomutov, Czech Republic (7-12 November)


Team has only 3-4 players who will be on the actual WJC team
 

Majority of our WJC guys are in NA, but I can still se some who will go or can go.

The D still looks decent.

I highlighted guys that I think have a chance of making Xmas. I don't expect this team to do well at this tourney. I, in fact, expect them to get smoked. However, that is a nice D core with a very poor forward core. I know nothing about Holinka but he got a B rating last week from CSS. Curious how he is deployed and how he does.

Completely missed Tomas Volevecky got snubbed lol. Like what the hell, 6'4" goaltender who singlehandedly brought Slavia back to life in the Chance league, but let's take all these sub 6'0" goalies who are playing in the crap junior league instead. He is the only goalie who should have an outside shot to make the WJC squad, but apparently he isn't good enough for this terrible Euro-only squad in the first place. :laugh:

I agree with you about the players you highlighted. But I would also pay attention to Matej Mastalirsky, who has already scored 3 points in 5 games in the Extraliga.

I really dont like how czechs look so far. So many stupid and naive plays. We gonna get smashed by Finns and Swedes with if we play like this.
 
Sure you are, it's a pointless tournament for Czechia and Slovakia this year
I'd say it's just about how well or poorly a few players who have hopes of playing in the WJC. No one can really expect good results. We were weak in this tournament last year as well.
 
Linguistic question to our czech friends:
CZE vs Slovakia is Česko vs Slovensko, every well-educated international hockey fan should know that ;)

But when CZE has to play Slovenia: Česko vs ??
 
So, after some research - correct me if I'm wrong!:

in Czech:
CZE-SVK Česko vs Slovensko
CZE-SLOČesko vs Slovinsko
SVK-SLOSlovensko vs Slovinsko
in Slovakian:
SVK-CZESlovensko vs Česká
SVK-SLOSlovensko vs Slovinsko
SLO-CZESlovinsko vs Česká
in Slovenian:
SLO-SVKSlovenija vs Slovaška
SLO-CZESlovenija vs Češka
SVK-CZESlovaška vs Češka

You may say Česko also in Slovakian language. Fun fact: Slovaks called Czechia "Česko" long before Czechs did, in fact since the split in 1992. At that time Czechs considered "Česko" as stylistically incorrect arguing that Czech Republic was composed of Bohemian (Czech) and Moravian part.

Slovakia beats Switzerland 7-4. So looks like Czech game could decide who finished 3rd?

Slovak goaltending hasn’t been great this tournament. I expect Urban to have the edge over others for backup behind Gajan
