Confirmed line-up for the Czech Republic

Sobotka-Plekanec-Voracek
Cervenka-Kovar-Pastrnak
Birner-P.Vrana-Repik
Zohorna-Horak-Hanzl

Simek-Gudas
Kempny-Rutta
Jerabek-Krejcik
Sulak-Kundratek

Mrazek (starting goalie)
Francouz

Yes, we'll dress 8 defensemen against Switzerland, and 12 forwards.

Hopefully Sulak will see some decent ice-time. I am looking forward to see him play.

 

[Jon Riley]

Furrer is out, still injured.
That is a big loss on the blue line. Hope he's back for the quarterfinals

 

[Hinterland]

Seriously? Schlegel starting?

Which F's are out of roster. only Hyka and Radil ? What about d's like Kolar or Sulak ?. How many spots still open?

 

[kary]

This will be good.

 

[kary]

What a mess in our D...

 

[that is unfortunate]

This team is so prone to unlucky bounces

 

[joey16]

hahah classic against Switzerland.. now we aint be able to score for 55 minutes when it goes well.. when it does not then it we won't score at all

 

[kary]

The unlucky bounces wouldn't be nearly as deadly if our D was positioned right...

 

[kary]

lol our musketeers are at it again .. lucky the refs didn't see it

 

[chokei]

A matter of time until the Czechs will score IMO. Good start for Switzerland nonetheless.

 

[The Noot]

Seriously? Schlegel starting?

Not a bad idea tbh

We don't know if Hiller is feeling well and we better rest Genoni before the QFs.
This game should not mean much to either team.

That said both teams definitely would like to win, because they can stay in Paris then.

 

[czechmate]

what a disappointing 1st third, it is so sad to watch all those players play like ****... Im starting to think we have a coaching problem, similar to Finland. Czechs are just not consistent! Every second game they make the same mistakes from the game before...

 

[jonas2244]

How small Schlegel is ....

Solid game by Schlumpf, I'd choose him over Marti. And Malgin is by far the best skater of the tournament, such a pleasure to watch him skate.

Tell the Coaches. Wohlwend said before the Canada game that they sit Malgin and dress Suri because they want a better skater in the lineup vs Canada

Didn't think the Czechs played that bad this period. They had most of the posession and like 75% of the period were played in the Swiss end. They need to find ways to create dangerous chances though and the Swiss are making it hard for them.

Uhm. MacKinnon probably wants a word with you

Trust me, they are playing way below their potential. Hope they pick it up in the 2nd, finally.

 

[joey16]

Cervenka can't finish.. what else is new

 

[joey16]

Trust me, they are playing way below their potential. Hope they pick it up in the 2nd, finally.

It's not just this year. We almost always are.. until the play-off comes, then it's usually whole different story so I'm really curious how we will handle it Thursday.

 

[mosare]

The swiss with so many great chances. The defense of the czechs don't looks very good

 

[Martian]

our typical game against Switzerland, thank God it's not quarterfinal

 

[czechmate]

**** off. I'm done, this is so embarrassing.
