Happy to see Pekar get a point after taking 2 penalties. Teply almost tied it with a great rush. Also, I finally heard the name Pitlyk. I'm a big fan of his.. my fav prospect.
 
the del is what in Europe the 5th best league behind Khl shl finish league swiss league?

SHL and KHL are clearly ahead. Liiga has better top 3 teams but worse depth. Swiss is probably better but not that much. Talked to some finish people who told me that they consider the DEL to be better by now. Probably not that much of a difference IMO.

Peterka missing for 7 more minutes really hurts us
 
It's pretty difficult to figure out what is what between Czech, Finnish and German leagues. They are roughly the same at 4-6 spots IMO.
And then, for fun, where would you rank the AHL?

People hate my take on this but I have the AHL is number 2. Everyone says KHL then SEL and I totally get why but almost all the goalies and D in the NHL were in the AHL before hitting the NHL (including Seider). The only goalie in the last decade to make the NHL without AHL time is Koskinen and that is considered one of the worst contracts handed out in years.

1. NHL
2. AHL
3. KHL
4. SEL
5. Liiga
6. Swiss
7. Czech
8. DEL

Yes, I realize no one agrees with my take.

I won't even be remotely shocked if we don't start seeing more Czechs coming out of the German leagues soon...
 
We only have Seider and maybe Hüttl and Mik. But after them our d depth is brutal
Has will make the AHL and we'll see how it goes. Kubicek maybe gets drafted and AHL. That might be it for us. We do have a 16 year old who might be good in Svozil.
 
1st period takeaways,
Teply is very good and calm with the puck. love his game so far.
Mysak isnt playing enough minutes.
Raska living up to his scouting report, hardest working player on the ice.
Stutzle is just straight beast
Peterka will def raise his draft stock

Really impressed with German's. Peterka did us a solid with a silly penalty. Czechs were flying in the final 2 minutes. Germany needs to regroup and counter punch us to death. If they get the third goal all the air will go out of the building. If Czech's score it could get real interesting.
 
I hope we win but also would love to see the Germans in the play-offs.
Good intense game so far. Both teams are fighting hard.

Teply has really impressed me... I wasn't really talking that much about him before tourney but he's looked great.
Raska with a bar early too
Stutzl is the next Hischier
Peterka is great
Dostal needs to tighten up a little... made some great saves in second half.
 
I must not understand the rules.. Dajcar makes a great D play and gets a penalty. Has takes a German's head off and doesn't.
 
I wonder if we'll start the third with a penalty too... make sure we build no momentum.lol
