WC: Slovakia 2023 Roster Talk

[Takurcitee]

It’s a shame Cernak got injured, I think this is the year Toronto finally wins a round. And maybe Cernak would have come. That would be such a massive ad. Also though he’s played a ton of hockey in the past 3 years and would understand why he needs/wants some rest

No way would he come after 3 finals

 

[jcbio11]

Fehervary make up your mind already.

 

[Faterson]

No way would he come after 3 finals

But he would play a 4th final without any problem, wouldn't he?

(The degradation of national teams to an optional off-season vacation... Someone like Peter Šťastný would puke.)

 

[Kibe]

Chromiak coming, Kelemen wants to come too. I haven't looked at other teams, but Slovakia is building a medal contender roster.

Not to be rude but what do you mean by this? So far only AHL players confirmed.

Both Chromiak and Kelemen are AHL players. Oh you mean how I think it's a medal contender? You don't need NHL stacked roster to be a medal contender at IIHF tournaments is what I mean and the Slovak roster is looking quite good relative to the roster that we've bronzed with at OGs.

We are getting some players that had played the NHL in the past or in the recent season nonetheless. Panik, Kelemen, Regenda, Knazko seem to be confirmed. Cernak or Feheravary are a possibility.

 

[jcbio11]

No Ruzicka. No Fehervary. Both officially confirmed. Fehy hurts especially, we really could have used an NHL defenseman of his quality.

Ružička has no excuse not to come this shows he fully deserves the treatment he gets in Calgary he really is a bitch

Whoa. Them's fighting words.

Anywho so who's in from the Czech extraliga finals?

Dano for sure IMHO but anybody else?

 

[Antiillafire]

How does Ruzicka decline lol he’s barely played this season and this would be a good opportunity for good ice time and large role

 

[jcbio11]

I don't mind Ruzicka not going, I guess I am just not as worried about our offense like you guys. Panik, Hrivik, Cehlarik should be enough firepower up front. Dano if he comes is also coming off of a dominant goal scoring season by the Czechs.

Fehervary missing is going to hurt though.

 

[Antiillafire]

The collection of forwards for this team will look solid, defense i am quite concerned about however. Still, I don’t think this team should have trouble getting to QF

 

[vlady]

hopefully we get the stupid losses out of the way pre-tournament. These 2 against Germany were exactly that.

Good to see Chromiak and Regenda with some chemistry. Also good to see Panik scoring goals. I thought he was done as a hockey player.

 

[jcbio11]

Hudacek is coming. Nice. That forward group is starting to look really solid. D is our biggest weakness at this point.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Hudacek is coming. Nice.

Libor or Julius ?

 

[jcbio11]

Libor or Julius ?

Libor the forward. Julius ended his national team career.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Libor the forward. Julius ended his national team career.

Alright.

What does the current roster look like?

Rosandic aka the Croat is a godsend honestly. That defense was looking mighty suspect before he joined.

 

[smitty10]

Is Marincin not going to play?

 

[jcbio11]

Is Marincin not going to play?

No. I believe he wasn't invited to the camp.

 

[Goodman68]

No. I believe he wasn't invited to the camp.

Wow. He is a dominant defender in the extraliga. The quality clearly belongs to the national team.

Slovakia should have taken Rendulic aswell. Just to piss off the croats even more

 

[vlady]

No. I believe he wasn't invited to the camp.

it's not that. He has a minor injury, there is still a chance he will come

 

[jaro]

Slovakia have to take Dvorsky, and put him to 2nd line, betwen Regenda and Kelemen

Give him some looks, sure. Maybe not quite 2nd line C though.
