Sorry, guys I jinxed it. Literally 10sec before the goal I said: We're playing good, that means Czechs are going to score out of nowhere. :D

Also dont like how "invisible" the first line look since they lost Chytil. Even in the Kazakhs game, after Chytil had they didnt had almost anything at 5on5

Chytil should be back.. 2 days off. He's key for us. Not sure about Chlapik.. he may be walking around a bit dizzy still.
 
He's no Bouch but the combo of Kostalek and Kubalik firing shots is nice. They can't block them all. Well, maybe they can.lol
 
Why are we still playing that pass on Kubalik ... its so predictable. He shooted it like 15 times so far and 13 times it got blocked
 
Well, the good all problem of Latvia being unable to score continues. I did also feel like they rushed with their shots a bit too much.

I said it. This is gonna be extremely hard match to win. I would be okay with even two points from this.

Latvia at home and need to win. They will fly like crazy there tonight

Sorry, I don’t agree. Yes, Latvia are playing at home and they are a good side. But despite all the injuries and Kari’s selection idiosyncrasies, we should win this in regulation. I think the statistics are 18 games played, 18 Czech victories (including one draw, but we won either in OT or in a penalty shootout). Might we lose tonight? Of course, definitely possible. But it feels almost cowardly as a Czech not to be confident here. Like we don’t want to say we are confident of winning in case we lose and look stupid afterwards. So I say it: I think we will win, even if it is close and we don’t look great. Because we are the Czech Republic, they are Latvia and this is ice hockey. (And btw, the basic position will remain true even if we happen to lose tonight. Czech fans so often lack confidence, I don’t get it.)

After first I wanted to say this reminds me USA - Germany game (shots were 4-12 there and 4-13 here) and the scenario is exactly the same so far.. potential Czech comeback the only thing remaining in question.

Doesn’t matter - I still think we’ll win. Often the more experienced team wins even if their opponents are having a good day.

lets hope. but I hate when we get outplayed like that by weaker team ...

But often then you think stronger team must destroy you in that case, and you then play great against the strong ones and win lol
