GDT: SF - SWE vs CZE May 25, 2024

Necas dominant out there. Pastrnak on the other hand pretty invisible so far.

Thrilled tbh. Sweden was a bit better but it's a tie game, we've scored 2x which I doubt has happened to them often. A lot of our players look dangerous. We're not sustaing pressure but we are getting chances on counters.

I gotta try one of of these Asahi Dry's.lol

 

[Brunkmeister]

Well that was something else. I’m so hot you probably could lay a steak on my belly and it would be well done.

 

[Yenn 22]

I am just worried refs will ruin this game. They already tried in the first

Otherwise fantastic game so far

 

[Czechboy]

Phew… gotta take the blood pressure after that period.


Is it a banana under the skirt?

The banana is extra CZK.lol

Even the host team can't get calls against Sweden.

I wonder if you cry as much when teams get penalized versus Canada.

I know exactly how you feel.

He's gotta get gong for sure but he's still the guy you can see winning it if it's close late in the 3rd or O.T

I think the game evened up a fair bit after our second goal. We don’t look like we could not score again. Sweden look better and perhaps more likely to score, but they were a lot more dominant in the opening half of the period than in the second half.

Pasternak was useless in the NHL playoffs and useless here.

He still has time here to tell a story.. I maintain he's due for a big moment. Of course, I have a big bias.lol

He is probably not healthy at all unfortunately. We'll know after the tournament.

Yup.. does feel like we could score. Their goalie looks beatable today. Our PP did look great. PK was good. So lots of things going well. Hoping we are just adjusting because that was 6 periods against North American Gold teams... Swedes play a different (and beautiful) brand of hockey.

 

[Old Man Jags]

We lost the last 6 semifinals we were in. On one hand, that is quite a damning sequence of games, but in the other hand surely at some point every trend reverses?

In fairness.. we've also been weak for 15 years.lol

He won't shoot and doesn't seem to get much on it when he does. I assumed he was hurt.

 

[Czechboy]

Intermission panel was about Reichel and Nagano.. barely mentioned the game happening right now.lol

Pastrnak is the best forward on ice.

On the second goal swedish forwards kept looking at the puck instead of looking where the Czechs forwards were . They could easily have prevented that shot. If they play like that Czechs will win ...

And our goalie let a relatively easy one in from what I could see.

 

[Czechboy]

I now have Lindsay Hamilton in a wider shot.. thank you TSN. Always zoom out when Lindsay interviews.. her number 1 Stan.

 

[Old Man Jags]

Is it just me or is Dostal generally looking less rock-solid than he did against the US? Not at fault for the goals conceded though.

 

[martygod12]

We need to calm ourselves it's 2:2 but Sweden is killing us in our third. Also first line needs to pressure more.

On the other hand the second line is on fire so far and Necas is flying on the ice

 

[Old Man Jags]

I wish I didn't have to give your post a like, but it's true. Then again, for a weak team to make the semifinals six times in 13 years does not sound that terrible. Maybe we are less completely bad than we always make out to be? Every year, we Czech fans usually sound like we barely expect the team to make the quarterfinals.

 

[Pentothal]

I wish this was the final matchup. Entertaining game so far, both teams going for it and the atmosphere seems amazing.

 

[Hierso]

Just hope the giant crowd outside remembers to drink properly. Blazing sun + Beer with little to no water is never a good idea.
