I think posters from smaller countries just try to keep it civil, why spread hate here or something

I've always felt hate has been a wonderful motivator to get me out of bed in the morning. But then again, I'm in that immature group I just mentioned.

Exactly. Fun, right?

Very, I live for these games.

lol...........really?

Any hockey message board i;ve been on it's been the exact opposite and they tend to support each other.

Could it really be possible that perhaps for the first time in history hockey fans are more mature then the general public?

There's really no need to make a big drama out of fb posts. The Czechs and Slovaks parted peacefully, and to this day there is an above-standard, absolutely unusually good relationship between them. Of course, those types of people who try to stir up emotions appear on the discussions. But it's nothing major.

Took one off the head there.

It's a goal, 1-0 Slovaks

 

[Bounces R Way]

Unfortunate for the German goalie there.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Another idiotic IIHF rule. If the goalie is hit in the mask it shouldn't matter where the puck goes from there (unless it goes into the net).

 

[PanniniClaus]

Didn't realize there were placement games.

The last timbit.........coming soon on crave.

Splendid play 2-0 Slovaks

Splendid play 2-0 Slovaks

Beauty goal but I don't think the penalty was justified.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Great puck movement on the PP by the Slovaks. Snapping it around.

cpl NHL teams could take some notes on that one

Can't help but have my mind on the Swe-CZE game now, that should be a good one.

In fairness... it will be 5 out of 5 for us as we get this match and the bronze match tomorrow! Or, things going exceedlingly well, and gold match.

Was hoping they wouldn't use a 'friendly' against Finland to determine the lineup but they did.. Poletin off line 1. I don't like it to be honest. Does give us a nice second line but I would've kept Poletin on line 1 for the familiarity.

Not the end of the world and maybe this helps Pekar score or Zahesky takes the opportunity and goes with it.

Pavlik on line 3 is a nice luxury.

Right goalie.

Anyone know what the Czech p.p % has been?

Sweden played hellish physical against us but it can boomerang on you and get you into penalty trouble too depending on the day.

Between 0 and 10.lol

For several decades now.. they always play us beautifully!

No controversies
Just beat us clean with beautiful and tactical hockey.
Usually a few PP goals too

I do feel this matchup is closer than our usual matchups. I think they are better but I do feel we have a chance.

I think you've got a decent chance today, definitely will be a tight win if it happens though.

Very much looking forward to it and I hope the game lives up to my hopes....because I am being torn away from womens beach volleyball here for this one.
