Is it my monitor or is Sweden wearing prussian blue jerseys? Looking cool AF.

I might be in the minority here but I kind of like these Slovakian whites better then their usual ones.

Less is more.

I was thinking the same thing! So nice!

Slovaks ring one off the iron.

I like how it makes the red crest stand out.

Elite jersey match up here

Pruss

Prussian blue, there's a term you don't hear much anymore.

9-5 in shots favouring Sweden that period.

I am worried about Benák, he is clearly a centerman and tremendously skilled at that, but it seems like NHL is getting bigger. He is clearly biggest czech talent since Jaromír Jágr and does not seemed weak against pros in Extraliga, but 176cm is really tiny in NHL, hope he proves us wrong, expecting nothing but total domination in this tournament. If he, Tichacek and Galvas who weren´t drafted aren´t in NHL in future, we will have easily strongest euro team out of big 6 and tons of gold medals.

Benak would probably die to ever grow this tall

This tournament ruined putting Gretzky name and placing it in Canada. No streams unlike in Europe. Should be held in Czechia/Slovakia every year.

They pop

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Sweden is a few years away from being completely black and yellow.

 

[jj cale]

Dubas in the crowd doing his due diligence. You've got to get up pretty early in the morning if you want to beat that guy!!

We won't be able to tell them from the Michigan wolverines pretty soon.

HOLY FUC HE IS 171! Poor thing, i hope he pulls Kulich who grew alot after his draft.

 

[jj cale]

Slovak p.p, man do they need that.

And they score!!

 

[Antiillafire]

Swedish refs ?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Swedish refs ?

Yes. The first penalty on the 5 on 3 was bs.

[Sens of Anarchy]

Slovakia seemed to get a bit of momentum for a short time after they scored.. now in penalty trouble they can't afford to be in

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

An obvious deliberate elbow by Sweden ignored.

 

[jj cale]

If only that guy had been a left hand shot Slovakia might have got their second goal there.

 

[macbowes]

Even if that elbow is probably mostly an accident, but it was at least a little reckless, you need to control your body, and that includes not chicken winging guys in the mouth.

 

[Czechboy]

While a great player he is no Jagr or Hasek.

That's like saying Crosby is no Gretzky or Lemieux!

 

[jj cale]

How didn't he score there.

Not quite, Pasta isn't Crosby either.

All about scales.. Jagr isn't gretzky or lemieux.lol

 

[jj cale]

true, I think you know what I mean though.

No disrespect to pasta at all..........I am just talking about a different level player in that original post.

As for Jagr, along with McD........................... he is the 3rd best offensive player I've ever seen.


He was special and special is what I was talking about.
