When I look at the Czech roster it is not that good. Im not sure is Finland the favourite on paper or at ice or at both.

Finnish team looks like crap too. As does the US roster.

A year for the crappy rosters.

Well Finland's team looks pretty bad on paper.. but look at who is on the net?!

 

[that is unfortunate]

Rinne has a .911 SV% since January, .902 last year, and .910 the year before that, he's a good goalie but those are some mediocre stats.

Still a candidate for the best goalie in NHL this season

Not sure about the names on paper but you are definitely the favorites by performances so far (and by betting odds as well). The only thing going for the Czech Republic so far was the offense, but it was poor against Switzerland and I heard Rinne is a pretty good goalie Meh, we still have a chance but it will be tough, the key is not to lose the first period again. Don't like the decision of sitting Hertl and putting Klepiš in when he hasn't played in a week directly into the first line, especially after his bad first and only match on the tournament so far.

 

[Hemsky001]

No 2004 again. Semifinals here we go!

 

[DrunkPerrinFan]

Jagr's last international game, hope it's a good one

 

[Kharkov]

Czechs are playing quite good.
