GDT: Game 20: Canada Vs Czech Republic | 1PM EST 7PM CET | CAN 7 - 2 CZE

[Swipes]

Man, if I was a Czech fan, I’d be PISSED at Varada. Guy is a total idiot, why’d he challenge there? It wasn’t even close, just handing out goals to Canada.

Agreed. Completely stupid. Perhaps he didn't read the rulebook? I certainly hope that's not the case....

 

[Swipes]

I think our players have lost it today.

Last year I wanted him fired. I'm happy with him and Elias this year.

I just think him and Patrik need to go for a beer and have a talk about coaches challenges. Something like 'don't ****en do it anymore, let me handle them Vaclav'.lol

Yeah, wasn’t commenting on the job he’s doing in general, just the challenges. Elias seems much more cool headed, should probably be the one handling them.

Rest up for Sweden.... our bench has no players on it and we don't have another goalie. I noticed Sir/Jenik sitting together.. where is Dostal?

I think our players have lost it today.

The team had suffered a lot of injuries, and has been playing some really close, emotional games. They’re probably tired, good thing there’s a small break before the next round.

 

[czechcanadian]

We look just fine... it's the Parik injury that is upsetting. Before Thursday I need Dostal and Sir to get healthy. I'm assuming Sik is getting a game and won't be available.

Isn’t Dostal ok for quarters tho?

 

[Czechboy]

Isn’t Dostal ok for quarters tho?

Not sure... I've never found out what is wrong with him? Is it the flu?

I definitely would like to see him in the net on Thursday! Nothing against Malik. Sir would be a big help as well.

 

[Czechboy]

The triple fisted Canucks in onesies is brilliant!

 

[czechcanadian]

Like Czechs outshot Canada in that period. Been an unlucky game mostly.
Canada is obviously superior but you gotta give Czechs credit for continuing to battle here.
They’re looking good just have to stay out of the box.
Sweden will have a handful

 

[Czechboy]

Forgot it was a 5 on 3...

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Byram is a one man stop of entries...for Canada on the PP. Do they not have another forward?

Edit: I'm sorry If I am picking on him but he is the prototypical 00's defensmen drafted and he keeps making bonehead plays.

I know this sounds insane.. but I'm actually enjoying the game. I really enjoy this Czech team. I do think Canada is being very merciful though.

 

[CupInSIX]

Byram with another turnover, and another. This is Jack Johnson all over again. Tremendous raw skill but no toolbox.

It's too bad Dach didn't fall to the Avalanche.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

This is why you don't show mercy, anything can happen in today's game.

As a Leafs fan, I agree with this message

 

[Czechboy]

Anyone notice nothing but Canadian fans behind the Czech bench? Impressive fanning!

 

[Czechboy]

What Czech was that? Great rush...

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

McIsaac finally dropped to 3rd pair..or Smith dropped to third pair.

 

[Czechboy]

Raska's really stepped up... I didn't think we'd have many guys drafted this year but we might have more than I thought...

 

[Alerion]

Honestly looked like Raska just fell on his ass there, not sure about that one

 

[Czechboy]

Fans still hopping!

 

[Wings4Life]

Barrett Hayton is dominating the Czechs.

Barrett Hayton is dominating the Czechs.

I can't think of a single Canadian that hasn't looked really good.

 

[Czechboy]

US Finland quarter now... Russia gets Switzerland...

feasting on the pp

As much as I love when the tournament is in Canada and the entire crowd is Canadian, these European crowds are sure fun to watch. Most passionate fans in the world imo.
