The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
I look forward seeing Dvorsky centering Slafkovsky on the same line with perhaps Mesar och Chromiak on the other wing. Not this year but in the future for sure.

Lång intervju med Dalibor Dvorsky

What ever happened to Cajkovic who got drafted by Tampa? He had some talent in him at the juniors.
You guys have some big and talented guys in Krivosik, Regenda, Ruzicka. Just wow, congrats!
Then Liska, Roman, Pospisil, Bucek, Kelemen etc.

Well, I´ve read many Swedish posters claiming that you guys would be the far superior nation from Europe and guess what? These last years shows that's false. Couldn't be more far from the truth. There you go.

No since we have fielded G teams while finns and ruskies have sent their best available the past three years says nothing. If you account NHL players most would agree its a fair fight between Sweden, Finland and Russia. Sweden have better defensemen while Finland and Russia usually have better forwards, at least when looking at the top lines. Goalies are pretty even. No country have amazing goalies in Europe.

I guess you forgot 2019 already. Half of your roster back then had your best players from the NHL? We didn't even have any KHL players? Guess how it went? :D
 
Warmest congratulations slovakia for the bronze I. One bounce the other way and you'd probably be waiting for the finals right now. What an entertaining team.

I think Slafko should be put to a top line in TPS. If he can dominate on international level, he can no doubt do it in Liiga. This should and most likely will be noticed with the team management and think about in from the perspective of his development. Juuso Pärssinen is at least a decent center, not sure about the others. Put Slafko at least on 1st PP.

Yeah. Only the fact how Sweden is now in the deep media-induced state of national mourning is enough to tell the hockey playing world about the depth of Swedish hockey.

If I'd be Swede, I wouldn't be concerned at all. As a Finn I consider top 4 placement as a minimum achievement in international tournaments for The Lions. I assume that for The Three Kronor the criteria of success is more tighter than that.

Yes, I know how it feels in a moment of loss, mostly thanks to The Big Brother in a past.

Slovakia is the best skating team in the tournament. Not sure if swedish nhl players would have even helped against this Slovakia.

You keep telling that to yourself.

What a beautiful surprise this tournament has been. Great props to Craig Ramsay and the work he has done over the years with Slovak hockey. I know he is not young, but I hope he stays for many years to come. An Olympic medal in ice-hockey for Slovakia, something even the golden generation did not achieve. Absolutely brilliant.
