Well, this is some suprise. Vokoun was shaky, that is for sure, but he used to play good in big matches as far as I remember. Risky move by Czech coach, I would say. Hnilicka had 2 solid periods during the match against team Canada, but that does not say much as offensive activity was obviosly on Czech side and Czechs significantly outshot the opponent by 26-8 SOG during 2nd a 3d period!!! So 8 shots stopped by Hnilicka.

It's very risky to put Hnilicka to net today, because of fact that he stopped big two chances from only 8 shots.
But problem with Vokoun is that his confidence is really low right now, and he seems quite unstable mentally right now. I would put Vokoun to net anyway....i think he should come up big today, but Czech coach is crap

i say 5-3 for Czechs...Slovaks are usually overmotivated vs czechs, and this drags them down. Plus last two periods against Canada looked very promising. Cesi do toho!

To si pis! Kdo neskace neni Cech!
Should be a fun game but Hnilicka starting in goal scares me quite a bit. I expect a high scoring game. My prediction:
Czechs: 6
Slovaks: 5
Should be a great game, I wish I could watch it live. We need Jagr to dominate and for Hemsky to finally do something more then just skate in circles around the net. I thought Hnilicka should of gotten the start yesterday so that Vokoun could rest. Now we have a nice little goalie controversy 
. But in the end I have to go with my heart and say 3-2 Czech's.

they were good vs finns. they would have won if not for spacek.
they were good vs canada. they would have won if not for vokoun.
both teams are now playing well, should be a great game.

The Czechs have been most dissapointing so far. Vokoun has been very shaky and cost them the game vs Canada. Czechs going down to Slovakia I think.

How could Blake have known?
Slovakia 4
Czech 2
Too much firepower working as a team for the Slovaks. There defense has been really good so far too, granted they have two of the best d-man in the NHL this season, but wow is Meszaros good. He'll be at the Chara and Visnovsky star level very soon.
Czechs have now resorted to playing Milan Hnilicka, obviously not what they expected going into this tourney with Vokoun and Hasek.

I am lizard king
I don't think it's a terrible move to bench Vokoun, he was clueless on the first two Canadian goals yesterday. I think they are going with the goalie that probably won't lose the game singlehandedly, which is what Vokoun did yesterday. Perhaps Vokoun is just tired, but he looked awful yesterday. I'll take 8 saves on 8 shots (if only 2-3 good chances) over 3 goals allowed on 8 shots (and just as few or fewer "real" chances).
Also should put pressure on Czechs to take the game to Slovakia and try to spend most of the game in Slovakia's zone, as they did the last two periods vs. Canada.
GO CZECHS!!
