WJC: GDT - Czechs vs Norway, Dec. 27, 2023

[Czechboy]

The Czechs looked awful yesterday. Norway looked pretty good against a great opponent. This could be close!

I didn't see the Norway game, but given the statistics and our performance, I honestly say that we will probably struggle. I'll take any win for three points. And maybe even in two..

If Norway does what they did to the US through the first half of the game, the Czechs are going to find this rough sledding as well. I'm very impressed by how the Norwegians played game 1. And I'm equally disappointed in how the Czechs played their first game. One period of work is no way to win a hockey game (no honor lost to the Slovaks, they pumped the Czechs for two periods because they put in the work).

 

[Skiiiiiiinerrr]

This is going to be a fun game to watch. I expect Czechia to rebound but Norway impressed..

Hell yeah! Let's see what happens.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Interesting game! I think czechs will bounce back.

 

[kudla]

This Norway team is legit good

i be cheering for norway

Really looking forward to this. Lets see how good the Czech coaches are. Result is irrelevant if we play bad again.

 

[czechcanadian]

I wonder if Czechs should break up line 1? Put an energy player on there like Bareš. I feel like they lack a bit of speed.

 

[Czechboy]

Kudos to @czechcanadian for calling line 1 switch. I don't like it but I may be the last Sale fan left.lol

 

[czechcanadian]

Also, hope Galvas gets some good minutes. Interested to see him play

 

[Joe Zanussi]

Will Hrabal play today?

 

[Goodman68]

Will Hrabal play today?

He will play. We will hope that, unlike yesterday, he will also catch.

 

[Czechboy]

Will Hrabal play today?

Yes, but we are trying to arrange a trade for Gajan.lol

 

[Czechboy]

Also, hope Galvas gets some good minutes. Interested to see him play

Is he on his wrong wing? Or does he normally play RD? Playing a 17 year old on the wrong wing could be a bad idea.

You’re asking the wrong guy lol

 

[Skiiiiiiinerrr]

Czechia will rebound massively. Should be a good game for them.

 

[Czechboy]

You’re asking the wrong guy lol

I was honestly wondering if we could add Badinka given he is a right hander.

However, am thrilled to see Galvas today.

Everything went wrong yesterday... everything.lol

Sale was awful
Kulich did squat
Jiricek out
Hrabal looked like bad

I did like second line but they broke that up.lol

Oh Badinka would have been a great option!! Oh well. What a shame they never brought him.

 

[Czechboy]

2-0 last time Czechs played Norway in this tourney.

Expect a long boring battle with an interesting third.

 

[Skiiiiiiinerrr]

This up next? Right on. Let's go!!!

Just tuned in, what is the change?

 

[vlady]

Yes, but we are trying to arrange a trade for Gajan.lol

You will have to offer Pasta

 

[Czechboy]

3 guys out... line blender in full affect after 24 hours. Not a fan... I would've given them a chance against Norway today for chemistry.

Rewarding hard working undrafted players instead of first rounders is never a great strategy IMO.

Fine but we get Nemec too!
