If we don't completely outplay Slovenia we have no business in QF. Norway has some good players and played well defensively, our team also didn't show up as they should have considering the roster. But Slovenia doesn't have anything that should cause us trouble, so anything but completely outplaying them would be disappointing.

 

[kaner88slo]

Dont worry guys, we have no chance today. Our heads are in tomorrow's game against Belarus. Also our goalie won't be as hot as Haugen was, just don't destroy us please

 

[tade]

Sykora and Antos finally saying something good... I think Antos improved a lot over the years while doing WHC.

Creating shutdown line against Norway and Slovenia, lol.

Jeglic definitely deserved more games for that incredibly stupid and dangerous act.

He should be out for the tournament.

I'm a actually not worried about your team at all, I'm worried about our team. No offense, but an upset here would say a lot more about our team (and their dedication) than about yours...

Also BTW I'm looking forward to the SLOvsBLR game, the games where both teams are fighting for everything are always the best, even if they are not the best teams in terms of individual players skill.

 

[tade]

Repik 1-0, PP goal.

 

[kary]

Kovar did great.

 

[kaner88slo]

WHat is with Vrbata and Hanzal? They had some issues with previous coach, but what is their deal now? Is Krejci coming?

Sobotka is coming, so no more room for forwards.

 

[kary]

wtf? .. that was a goal!

Krejci is injured, he wanted to go, but could not heal up enough for the tournament. Hanzal & Vrbata are both UFAs. I dont think any important player have problem with current coaching staff, outside of maybe Hudler.

 

[Hemsky001]

We've just scored two goals during one 2 min PP. lol

 

[kary]

funny stuff

 

[tade]

2-0 Horak PP goal. Horak is solid in front of the net on PP.

 

[Belizarius]

So that was the 1st pass accross the slot and 1st shot that will officially count ? I understood correctly ?

ofc the first goal is the one that counts since you have to move the time back - the goal when he hit the camera.

 

[tade]

Horak 3-0. 4th line is good today, they have a lot of jump.

 

[kary]

Slovenia is really passive in front of their net

ok so the Horak shot, not Cervenka.
Thanks !

Yeah, we have the worst defensive core on this championships. Forwards don't help much defensively either.

 

[tade]

Shots on goal are 17-3 in favor of Czech Rep. through the 1st period.

 

[Wooren]

Yeah, we have the worst defensive core on this championships. Forwards don't help much defensively either.

It's interesting Slovenia managed to produce a decent number of very skilled forwards (Kopitar, Sabolic, Mursak especially), but no defensemen.
