#goczechs!

 

[DrunkElkCZ]

The crowd will be noisy!... but I am afraid that Czech D is just not good enough

 

[Pominville Knows]

Good luck Czech Republic! You're gonna need it.

 

[m4tt145]

I think we got this. Going to be a great game with an amazing crowd so you never know though.

 

[Wulfgar]

3-2 SO Czech Republic...also expect the special teams to be the key factor

 

[KurtSloan]

Too bad Czech team is far away from optimal squad for home championship. But we will see how this team can handle pressure from Czech fans. Tommorow I will be cheering from the stands for them. It will be huge!! 2:1 Czech win.

 

[Pgust]

Czech will win in overtime.

 

[aphyro]

 

[ulvvf]

Nice to see Jagr maybe for the last time at international stage. Such a great hockey player.

Sweden probably better d-men, czech probably better offensive. Should be a intresting game

 

[EK47]

Forsberg and Ekholm won't play tomorrow per hockeysverige ****

 

[Falling Snow]

Salák starter ???

 

[joe89]

"Expected" Swedish lines:
Lindström-Ericsson-Möller
Eriksson-Lander-Danielsson
Hjalmarsson-Rask-Lindholm
Josefson-Lundqvist-Sjögren

Kronwall-Klingberg
OEL-Klefbom
Ahnelöv-Rahimi

Enroth

If Ekholm and Forsberg make it in time I expect them to take Ahnelöv's and Danielsson's spot respectively, assuming they go with the practice lines.

 

[m4tt145]

"Expected" Swedish lines:
Lindström-Ericsson-Möller
Eriksson-Lander-Danielsson
Hjalmarsson-Rask-Lindholm
Josefson-Lundqvist-Sjögren

Eww. This would look so much better with Forsberg. I don't really think there is any big offensive threats here. We are lucky if we score 3 or 4. I think our defence can handle the Czechs quite well though.

 

[Mestaruus]

Nice to see Jagr maybe for the last time at international stage. Such a great hockey player.

I think Jagr will play couple more tournaments. He'll play 2 more seasons to become 2nd most points ever made in NHL behind Gretzky, but yeah maybe Florida mill make the playoffs next season or the one after and we may not see Jagr there.

Hard to say who wins this match. Czech should have a nice PP unit with Jagr and Voracek and with the home crowd Czech wins 3-2 via OT/SO.

 

[SlovanHC]

Imo, I'm pretty sure he won't play another WC. Ending his career at home will be perfect for him whatever the result for the Czechs.

Haha ****... i really want Sweden to win GOLD but at the same time a ****ing legend like Jagr also deserv to win gold in his home countery

 

[Jakk123]

I dunno, I wouldn´t be that sure with Jagr

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Czechs 4-1. Jagr with a hatty.

 

[joe89]

Danielsson is not added to the roster yet so I guess it's either Forsberg or 11 forwards tomorrow.

 

[Nordic*]

André should've made the team.. Wasn't Nyquist invited?

Edler?

Adam Larsson?

 

[Coudyno1]

Hope for a good start to the championship. Can´t wait.

 

[SlovanHC]

Hope for a good start to the championship. Can´t wait.

Hope our czech brothers win

 

[m4tt145]

Forsberg and Ekholm will be playing.

 

[EK47]

Forsberg and Ekholm will be playing.

Nice to hear
