Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2019

[Czechboy]

3-0 Finland. Either Suni or #12 who pointed at himself.

Camera angles aren't the best... much like our tying goal yesterday.. I have no idea how that went in.

Räty and Lambert seem to play quite well together.

Beautiful vision from Räty there!

 

[JJTT]

Amazing play by Räty again

 

[Jussi]

Hirvonen 4-0.

 

[Czechboy]

Finns are flying now! Goalie change for momentum I suppose. Bednar might be the next Skarek... great goalie who struggles at International games (most likely due to our D).

Seemed to me like #12 tipped it in, he clearly tried to.

Slovakia tied with USA 2:2 after Jan Lasak jr. scored his first.

It's Globetrotters vs Generals now.lol

Ok I never revelaized this part. All our hope in Lukas Dostal.

I feel like the Slovaks have done a much better job of competing this tourney... hope it's a sign of things to come.

It's a solid generation. If they work on their special teams, they'll have a chance of winning a few against the top teams ranked 3-6.

What the hell is that Czech jersey? Looks cheap as hell. Is it because this isn't an official IIHF tournament?

Czech goalie hopes are quite high... but not sure if any will break through to NHL... several are very close and some are highly rated:

Vladar, Vanecek, Dostal, Skarek and Korenar could all become NHL goalies. Francouz is guaranteed to be backup in Colorado so he's now an NHL goalie. Rittich will be given every chance to be 1. So will Mrazek.

However, nothing is guaranteed with any of those goalies.

No, that's our new official jersey. I love international jerseys (Blue Finnish is a fav, so is Blue Slovak and German) but, for some reason, someone changed our jersey to this. Makes losing that much worse.lol

 

[Zub]

I can definetally see why people are saying Raty is the frontrunner for 1st OA eventhough it's too early to say consensus but damn he looks good!

 

[Rusty7550]

What the hell are you doing Česko?

 

[Czechboy]

Camera showed 2 Czech guys crying on bench before heading to locker room. I'm honestly not sure who to blame for all this... obviously, Finland is better and deserve their lead (and potential victory). This years draft was poor for Czechs, this group isn't showing much to make me think they'll be much higher. I'd love to say Svozil, Mysak, Bednar have shown me a lot but I'm not sure if anyone has really stood out?

Thats sad.. they probably know the game is televised

Which is really good btw. pretty sure that slovak sport TV channels have no idea about this tournament

Yeah i kinda feel bad for the czhech team:/ i know how it feels like from back in the day when Finland was a pushover team almost every junior tournament over 10 years ago..

It's cheap as f*** looking. And there's only one team of Lions allowed on international hockey.

 

[tobu]

USA goalie won't like today's game. Slovaks haven't put much on him, although they were pretty good shots, he should have possibly had them as they were from behind the circle and he had all the vision he needed.

You and the designer's mother are the only 2 that do.lol
