Wow Jakub Skarek is a late 99 goalie with Extraliga experience, interesting.

 

[snipes]

Should be a better Czech team than the one that we crushed 8-0 a week ago.

Play our game, the Canadian way. Relentless wave after wave attack and break their will. We need to stay out of the box this game. The offensive zone/stick penalties need to be cut out. Play fast, physical, and use our skill.

This game should be about working on our game and tightening things up.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

As a Wings fan, I'm excited to see Hronek play. I've heard a lot of good things. He sure seems to be doing well in the OHL so far.

And a .952 save%. Only 3 games mind you.

 

[czechcanadian]

Filip Chlapik and David Kase not playing. Should expect Necas to be in the top 6 then.

 

[Wooren]

Should be much closer than the first unofficial game.
Curious why Chlapik isn't playing though...

Probably a lock.. I also think that it's because we have a lot of centers

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Ottawa fans would have loved to see Chlapik in the lineup. Is that official?

Yup.

 

[leaflover]

Time to work on chemistry and compatibility. Don't want to bomb out like last year.

Honest question here but why didn't they give Barzal his normal #13, please tell me that Hockey Canada isn't superstitious

He had it last year in the tournament didn't he? Maybe he just decided to on his own lol

 

[SNMU]

I'm going to get my first look at team Canada tonight. Can't wait!

 

[FifthLine]

I'm going to get my first look at team Canada tonight. Can't wait!

Me too. Haven't had time to watch or follow yet much so I'm excited for tonight. Those top two forwards look really nice though.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Another quick one. Really liking what I've seen from the team so far.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Another quick goal to start the game.

 

[John Agar]

That was quick...

The Czech's don't seem very fleet of foot.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Barzal looks real good

 

[Cellee]

Team Canada has the best uniforms they have had in years.

Did not think I would like the extra black, but I do.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Slow thread tonight.

 

[John Agar]

Slow thread tonight.

Pre-Christmas. Lots on peoples' plates.

It will heat up by the 2nd after people get home and have a bev' or 2...

The extra black is o.k on the whites but not on the reds imo. I also like these versions a lot better with the Canada across the sweater ones then this one with the stiga hockey player on the front.

I wish they would get rid of the hockey game ****.
