Does Sale or Masta score the next one? Or Sykora?

I think you spelled Ziemer wrong

 

[SI90]

Leonard gotta bury that.

We’re going on the PP. Need a goal here.

After the Czech goal I feel like Czech was the better team

 

[c9gunner]

That was close. Nice save

 

[Luolis]

Makeup call for the first penalty i guess. USA really wants to score on this.

 

[chaser17]

Oh wow another weak penalty call!

 

[MichaelFarrell]

Oh wow another weak penalty call!

Clearly a makeup call.

 

[The Expert]

How was that not matching minors or nothing lol

 

[thefutures]

Classy Canadian fans booing a teenager in a game their team isn't even playing in lol


He skated over because the Czech was in Augastines face.

Diving isn't classy either

 

[hockey20000]

Canadian Fans are so embarrassing(Sikora). How stupid you can be?

hee deserves it

 

[Chainshot]

I do not care for Leonard flopping around and looking for the ref again.

 

[noncents]

Gabe is close. feeding breakaways, hitting posts. he'll come thru

 

[sadpanda]

I like this Perreault kid

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Fast pace so far, gonna be a close game

 

[Svedu]

Agreed. White buckets was the American look. Their retro jerseys are fine, but they should bring them in for game maybe two in this tournament and stick to their primary look. Until recently they were rocking the old school thick socks too.

Additionally every team minus Canada, Germany, and Switzerland wears blue buckets…

Yep. But I like the navy touch as well, that lifts those white buckets even more. Contrasts I guess.
Those, Canadas black, both Finnish kits (of course biased), Swedish yellow, Russias all red with that big blue touch only in their socks and their big eagle. Czechias old logo with their blue helmets is a classic look as well. Czechias old logo was quite fire, this one is straight up meh at best.
Latvias maroon kind of color is pretty darn fire as well. Best with the us navy for me. If they would try an even darker nuance sometime, white buckets would suit them as well. God, I'm such a nerd lol.

Czech crest is an OG look. That weird cat thing sucked.

Good game so far. The US team is so skilled, especially their top line. They can take advantage of any slightest puck mishandling, each just a bit sloppy pass, everything. The Czech team has been countering with a very good skating and positioning. I would say a deserved 1-1 score after the first period.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

I like this Perreault kid

Rangers and Caps have a couple of good ones in Perreault and Leonard. They really stand out.

 

[OilersFanatics505]

Oh wow another weak penalty call!

At least it was consistent with the earlier weak call... if its called once then call it every time.

Yea Czechs look like a very cohesive and positionally sound team. It's no fluke they're here.

 

[HBAASM]

This booing is so embarrassing. It was a bad hit, nice that he didn't break anything.

 

[Czechboy]

Felt the period was even. Surprised by that. Was expecting a Canada style onslaught.

Stancl with another big goal.

Now czechs were ahead of Canada after one and got buried in second period. Czechs had an even period with Swedes and got buried in second. Hopefully they've figured out the 2nd period by now.lol

Very happy with everything.. go Czechs go.

 

[NyQuil]

He certainly wanted the refs to think he did.

We don’t tolerate that kind of crap in Canada. It’s not in our sporting culture.

leonard has a gear of will/physicality that i feel like you don't often see.

perreault is just an uncanny puck magnet.

fun players to watch.

Is the Czech team full of sons of former NHlers or are there just not that many surnames to pick from?

 

[hockey20000]

lol dont score on your own net cze
