WC: Slovakia 2024 roster talk.

[Dofs]

Everyone in the world, except Czechs, understand that is not a high bar.lol

But that's Slovakia we are talking about. They don't have that many players above a guy playing really well in Czechia.

 

[Takurcitee]

No worries, by the time Slovakia plays Sweden Dano will be already a healthy scratch with a game suspension under his belt after a 5 min major and a game misconduct.

PP1 unit most likely will end up
Pospisil (blue paint)
Cehlarik (left wall) Hrivik (bumper) Slafkovsky (right wall)
Nemec (blue line)

PP2 unit
Regenda
Hudacek Kelemen Tatar
Fehervary

It might be too late when we play sweden

I think they want both Cehlo and Slaf on the right wall, because they are lefties. That's why they are split up.

They just cut 2 PPG players from czech league

 

[vlady]

Pánik would be extremely useful, i dont understand not taking him, Kudrna over Lantoši is also wtf.

Panik is a lazy player who takes stupid penalties. I don't miss him that much.

Kudrna over Lantosi, I am not a fan of that decision either. Lantosi just had his best season in his career. It is true he didn't do much against the US, but neither did Kudrna.

 

[vlady]

I also don't understand the coaches' love affair with Cacho, btw

 

[SoundAndFury]

Isn't dano actually playing really well on the Czech league ?

He is but so is Lantosi or Okuliar. It comes down to smaller details than that and that's where people have a difference of opinion.

 

[jcbio11]

Perhaps Ramsay just wants a clearly defined top 6 and bottom 6. Top 2 lines score goals, play the PP, bottom six grinds and hustle plus PK.

 

[Dofs]

I mean, given the amount of players in the current roster who are less than PPG from Czech league, it doesn't seem like my comment was exactly wrong.

And ur own Latvia has? Are u Namejs brother?

I see Namejs appears in your nightmares now?

You can’t have a roster only built on points… Lantosi can’t play in the bottom 6. Okuliar got buried consistently last year in that same role. It’s just a shame as I’d have different players to fill the bottom 6, but alas this is the team.

 

[Eye of Ra]

since 2011

 

[montreal]

it's all Slaf or Caufield but some might enjoy the vid anyway.

 

[RKBoy]

lineup againts Germany.

Cehlárik - Hrivík - Slafkovský
Tatar - Cingel - Hudáček
Kelemen - Pospíšil - Regenda
Daňo - Sukeľ - Kudrna

Nemec - Fehérváry
Čerešňák - Ivan
Grman - Koch
Gajdoš - Golian

 

[jcbio11]

Based on today's practice, Dano is out, Fasko- Rudas is in.

That was even quicker than expected.

The NHL backs are also split up. Both Nemec and Fehervary get their own pairing now.

Smart move. Fehy and Nemec should be split up.
I would like a different 2C for that second line. Shame, could’ve been a younger guy like a Dvorsky

 

[RKBoy]

today a must win, pretty comfortable despite that mess in the second period.

tomorrow really big test, we will not be paper favourites for the first time, which might suits us.

even 1 point would be great, but we need to get rid of those cheap puck losses, USA will punish that instantly.

also not sure who will be in goal, Škorvánek doesnt look really reliable.. puck bounces of him too much for my taste.. and Hlavaj didnt look too good either againts US in that friendly.. defence needs to be in top form tomorrow, no nonsense, no pretty soucer passes just fast grinding hockey, againts opponent like this thats the way.

also i hope the first line really saved their form for US, because today they were our weakest link.

Hrivik and Cehlarik were not good but slaf was dominating i think they should split them up slaf needs to play with nhl players

 

[Antiillafire]

He should be playing with Pospisil and either tatar, Regenda or kelemen.

Yeah Tatar-Pospisil-Slaf would work well

 

[vlady]

after today's game I agree. It's not working, let's shuffle it a bit. Slaf didn't have a good game against the US either.

 

[RKBoy]

happy for the win but we really played with fire in that last period, we cant just defend the result, this team is not build fot that and honestly, mentality for something like this is not there either.

i said i would be happy for one point, we got two.. but after that 3 goal lead its still kind of sucks, because we let them jump on the horse and dropped that one point.. and i dont think that was us being tired, that clearly was tactical decision that didnt work and costed us win in regular time.

now 3 games where we are going to be favourites again and i expect full 9 points so that last game againts Sweden will be only for in which PO spot we are going to end up.

 

[jcbio11]

I am not in favor of shuffling the lines at this point. Yes, the big line has not been great but they might catch fire at any point. And Pospisil Regenda Kelemen have just been killing it, so let's not break that up.

 

[VILPERI]

Any idea what the lines are today?

And who is starting in net?
