Ill like it for you

Zegras' ice-time has been going up every game. He's a great playmaker but he also takes lazy penalties, which coaches hate.

Considering his production, I think his handling has been fine so far.

The fact that he's still not on PP1 is mind-boggling.

 

[letsgrowcactus]

This also mean we have 10 forwards going into the 3rd period...

UGH didn't even think of that. Yeah that sounds fun... NOT.

 

[HanSolo]

The fact that he's still not on PP1 is mind-boggling.

Yeah there's no excuse for this. His playmaking talent stands out above his peers in the tournament even when the passes don't lead to goals.

This could get tedious!

 

[Deuce17]

Pivonka with an after 'end of period buzzer' hit

Lol

 

[NyQuil]

Jenik is not returning.

 

[letsgrowcactus]

Great, no Jenik this game and tomorrow he's going to the hospital for an MRI... /o\

 

[Poiquets]

The Czechs are going to be in trouble tomorrow against Canada if they have to play without Dostal, Sir and Jenik. Any info about Dostal’s and Sir’s condition?

I'll like his post for you.

Early on he made passes where I was thinking "wtf are you dong making a stupid hope pass like that?". Then it's in the net.

I've learned my lesson.

Could be there replacing Brink, but that would weaken the other PP unit. The PP has been producing goals and scoring opportunities consistently since the start of the tournament.

 

[NyQuil]

Time to sneak Jagr into the lineup.

Just give him a nose ring and a hipster moustache.

 

[TopC0rner]

Czech without their best two centers now (Jenik and Lauko). Bad luck for them.

 

[letsgrowcactus]

So tomorrow against Canada no Lauko, no Jenik, no Dostal and no Sir...
We're screwed.

Yup.. we're down our top 3 Centres (not that I"m saying Sir is great but he's our 2), our top winger (Lauko) and our starting goalie with one period against the US and a game against Canada coming up.

Somewhere.. a Kazakh is smiling right now.lol

To me you're rationalizing poor player usage. We can disagree.

I'd be fine with Varada and Elias putting their stuff on too!

 

[Il Stugotz]

Damn that sucked to see Jenik in so much pain. I bet he caught a rut or something unlucky.

 

[Czechboy]

Another US powerplay... something tells me this period is going to be a slow motion car crash for the Czechs.

 

[NyQuil]

Miller on the Czechs taking so many penalties:

“They probably know the words to that penalty song by now.”

Ferraro: “Do you think there are words to that song?”

Miller: “I hope not.”

LOL.

Playing our best offensive player on the fourth line for two entire games is not "fine" lol. With Zegras playing top 6 minutes, there's a good chance we beat Canada.

 

[Swipes]

I don't think our strategy of taking a penalty every period in the first 2-3 minutes is working......

 

[AmericanDream]

Wall-e needs to do more of that...go to the net kid!

 

[NyQuil]

I'd be fine with Varada and Elias putting their stuff on too!

I always liked Varada with the Sens.

Gritty, annoying player with a little skill too.
