we (CZE) can finish 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th in group after today ... today matches are awesome battles for everything

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Were the Reklaw's really discovered in a Tim Horton's?

 

[Gold Standard]

Should be a rockin electric New Year's in Ostrava.

Canada for the W. 5-3.

Happy New Year.

The group is so confusing I am not sure what to cheer for in any game (for a positive outcome for us - CZE)


Edit - ah, I missed your post in the other GDT (GER-RUS). Thanks for that

 

[Poiquets]

I believe that the Czech team is a bit worn out after yesterday’s match and banged up with injuries so a 3-4 goal margin for Canadians.

 

[Jaska]

Go Czechs! A great opportunity for a big surprise in front of your home crowd!

 

[Joe Zanussi]

Czechs got their important point yesterday. I see a blowout for Canada today.

 

[Czechboy]

I can't even think about this till the final buzzer in Germany vs Russia goes.

Spengler spoiler below....

Congrats on Spengler win Canada!

 

[czechcanadian]

This will be a huge blow out. Czechs are really beaten up right now.
The only way it could be a fairly close game is if the GER-RUS game puts czechs in a relegation spot.

2nd is on the line... Imagine avoiding Finland and Sweden in a quarter!

 

[jj cale]

With the way this group has gone f*** knows what happens in this game today.

 

[NyQuil]

I'm not going to underestimate the Czechs. They have a lot of fighting spirit in front of their awesome fans.

Some tough breaks on the injury front though.

 

[Statsy]

With the way this group has gone **** knows what happens in this game today.

My prediction is.......... ”Piestany Punch-Up” style brawl that eliminates both teams from the tournament. I mean, really, can you rule that out at this point???

 

[Killahpunk]

Canada wins 5-2.

I can actually see a fight happening in the medal rounds, not a bench clearer but a single fight.

 

[novisor]

Wouldn't underestimate the Czech's. It will be interesting to see the crowd, Czechs are wild but the Canadians could outnumber them.

Prediction: 4-2 Canada (EN).

It's pretty rare. Someone would need to lose their mind. Probably could only happen in a medal game with a lopsided score, where the suspension might not mean much to the player (e.g. a 19 year old). I don't see a player on Canada likely to fight.

Go Czechs Go!

Tis the tournament of the unexpected.

 

[letsgrowcactus]

Still plenty of time left but unless Germans score four unanswered, there'll be little urgency for us to play well here...

Regulation win gives Czechs second place, avoiding Sweden and Finland. Seems like plenty to play for.

Edit:. They'd get the loser of Finland/Switzerland instead of Sweden.

 

[ViD]

If Czech wins in regulation
Sweden - Canada
USA - Slovakia
Russia - Finland
Czech - Switzerland

If Canada wins
Canada - Slovakia
USA - Switzerland
Russia - Finland
Czech - Sweden

I mean sure, but how likely that is against Canada with all the guys we have missing?
They needed the point against the US; now they just need to survive with as little injuries as possible since they've secured the quarterfinals spot.
Not saying they won't try, and if we get an early goal or two, things could get interesting... Guess we'll see how it goes, but they'll be less desperate than against the US (and playing without Jenik from the beginning).

 

[jj cale]

As a TC fan I would rather face Sweden the Slovakia, the team needs another hard game.
