That might be the strongest set of 3D we've had in over a decade. Not saying much given our D is very poor in general but kind of exciting. So frustrating as the U18's will be 2 hours from my home but I can't cross the border to go see these guys!

Incredibly naive games in defense (Pinkas a Cubo, lol), let's hope that with the addition of Svozil and Hamara, the defense will be much better.
The Slovaks have deservedly won, they have good players who can play a big role in the future.

A couple of those guys played their first game in like forever, so cut them some slack. That being said, I would say only Jiricek, Tichacek and Moravec should make the U18 WJC squad from today's line-up.

Czechs deserved to lose for that 1st period alone. Easily the worst hockey I have seen this season from a team. Overall it was obvious which team has been together for months and which for a few days, so many careless mistakes, mistimings and zero chemistry. I would hope that improves tomorrow and Czechs win, but either way it's good they get to play those games. They play like this against Russia or USA at the championship and the game is over after one period.

And who else is missing in defense? I thought it was just the two players.

Sedivy and Machu, neither dressed for today's game, I would imagine both play tomorrow. Obviously not the same level as Svozil and Hamara, but both should be a welcome addition to the team.

I'm not going to judge now that the team hasn't played for months. Ok. But what the players are doing here is the biggest sh.t I've ever seen from our national team. And that I've seen a lot.

They are not doing much I agree. I tried to count how long they managed to stay in the attacking zone in even strength and it was probably hardly a minute in total, zone entries were non existent, just a few rushes with a non threatening shot. Is this is just a bad birth year, or are they just out of shape?

I can't judge how much of an impact that the vast majority of a team doesn't have gaming experience. And how much the presence of Svozil, Jiricek and Hamara will raise the level. But this is absolutely crazy, and really, I'm ashamed of what I see. Obviously there is a lack of quality in everything, the defense makes school mistakes, there is a lack of starting an attack, players cannot pass normally.
Can anything change over time? I don't know, probably not.

Ok, I'm glad I was wrong. From the moment I complained, we started to play much better, with more effort, good forecheck, the combinations started to do much better, we kept the puck and probably finally deservedly won.
I'm really glad that the team is not nearly as bad as it looked until then.

Czechs showed up from the 2nd period and deservedly came back in the game to steal it. It was close in the end, but good lesson for the all the kids on the ice that a game is more than just a single period.

Don´t know anything about big 7. There is only big 5 and then everyone else.
