PGT: Game 1: Czech Republic 2 - Switzerland 1 (OT)

[kudymen]

Definitely not how I saw it at all. Not even close actually. Skarek in the pressbox? Lauko on line 3. Zadina alone on line 2? No Salda?

I am weirded out by it, not really the best they could build with that roster.. oh well

 

[BigBadBoar]

Wher

Where did you find this??

All the line-ups are published on the IIHF official website/tournament official website as soon as they are announced by the team managements. Usually 45 min - 1 hour before the puck drops.

 

[neksys]

What is going on with Radim Salda????

 

[Joe Zanussi]

Very excited! Let’s get started!!

 

[BigBadBoar]

What is going on with Radim Salda????

Probably simply didn't look very well during the camp? Or health issues? Nobody knows.

Dostál in net, Nečas with Kaut on the 1st line

Not something I would expect but I will definitely give Varada the benefit of the doubt. Let's see. I actually like that third line on paper. Could potentially be a difference making line imo. Seeing that defense though.....

 

[BowDownToVasilevskiy]

First game of the day.

Hopefully its a good one!

 

[Ezekial]

About damn time, been waiting months for this!

 

[Treb]

2 and a 10 for crosschecking, that's harsh.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Geisser injured?

 

[Pensionsraddare]

Chytil injured?

Edit: My bad. He's not in. Listed in the roster though.

Nah, gotta make sure nobody takes a bad hit from behind and gets injured and that will hopefully be deterrent.

 

[PG Canuck]

Chytil injured?

He’s in the NHL.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Nah, gotta make sure nobody takes a bad hit from behind and gets injured and that will hopefully be deterrent.

Yeah that’s a classic example setting for the tourney. Probably one that disappears in the medal round of course

 

[Siamese Dream]

Didn't take long for the first really really soft call

Last year that would've been a 2 for boarding, but boarding is a 2+10 now so there's literally no difference between that and a check from behind

 

[kudymen]

Last year I disliked our defensive play and it seems this year it wont get any better... still nervous with Czech play in the D zone.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Where has the Czech team found these defensemen? By the side of the road on the way to the game?

 

[Konnan511]

Zadina is beasting out there right now.

 

[Czechboy]

Someone needs to tell Necas, Kaut and Zadina that they're better when not in the penalty box.

We need to finish one of these glorious opportunities as we're playing great but not finishing.

 

[clydesdale line]

Zadina and Kurashev most noticeable players so far for each team.

 

[Czechboy]

Kondelik should have 2 by now

Zadina didn't do anything, though. They grabbed the wrong guy.

 

[Treb]

Nah, gotta make sure nobody takes a bad hit from behind and gets injured and that will hopefully be deterrent.

Not disaggreeing with it, just a bit surprising compared to the usual.

 

[Christien]

Zadina is gonna dominate this tournament

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Zadina is gonna dominate this tournament

He should. I mean he dominated it last year.
