GDT: May 4 • Canada vs. Czech Republic

[Jakk123]

Canada with another blowout win

No way.

 

[tony d]

Will be a tougher match today than the weekend's matches but I still think Canada wins. 4-2 is my prediction.

 

[londonHK]

Jagr & Voracek in front of a home crowd? I'm definitely a bit nervous about this game.

 

[Remotion]

When does Brayden Schenn get to play?

 

[Namejs]

No way.

I can definitely see something like that happening. 5-1 or 6-2 doesn't sound that far fetched.

 

[sobrien]

4-2 CAN w/ an empty netter

 

[Stats01]

I'm going with 5-2 Canada. Crosby, Giroux, Seguin, Hall, MacKinnon with the goals.

Nothing these guys haven't been through before either in the playoffs or Olympics. They should be fine. Canada gets scrutinized every game they play, they're always the hunted, teams get up to play them. It will be a raucous crowd but if we play the way we're capable of there isn't a single country that can stop us. This roster is just stupid good and deep.

Anyone know where a live feed will be?

Long time since Canada even went past the Quarter-finals. Just saying, even if I admit that this team seem stronger.

 

[Hemsky001]

Hertl is back and Klepis gets a rest.

 

[m4tt145]

6-4 Czechs.

 

[Bob Clarke Fan Club]

Empty netter and 6-4 Canada. If Czechs can keep it 5 on 5 and keep Canada off power play, 4-2 Canada. Not going to be an easy game.

 

[Babula]

Go Linden leaf !!!

For me, it does. Czechs just don´t get wrecked by Canada, definitely not in front of the home crowd.

 

[The Head Crusher]

Is Hemsky hurt or did he not want to go/get asked?

 

[MikeModano9]

5-3 Canada. Is my predication.

 

[Wulfgar]

Is Hemsky hurt or did he not want to go/get asked?

I think he will undergo a hip surgery.

 

[Wulfgar]

If Pavelec will be on his game, I could see a close game. My guess is 4:3 OT for Canada.

 

[Hemsky001]

3-2 Czechs (even though it's highly unlikely)
hope Pavelec will get us some chance

 

[m4tt145]

3-2 Czechs (even though it's highly unlikely)
hope Pavelec will get us some chance

I don't think a Czech win is unlikely, though I have a hard time seeing Canada only scoring two goals.

 

[Lemonlimey]

Who is a Czech player we may not know worth keeping an eye on?

 

[Jesus Christ Horburn]

Canada can score, but their D and goaltending is weak.

Predicting a 6-5 CAN win

 

[KurtSloan]

Who is a Czech player we may not know worth keeping an eye on?

I would say Simon from Czech league.. 4th liner, but he is young and has smart and quick hands.

 

[Wulfgar]

Who is a Czech player we may not know worth keeping an eye on?

Also Jan Kovar...plays center for Jagr and is on the 1st PP unit...last game he had 3 powerplay points.
