GDT: Sweden vs Cesko

[unkempt]

Feel happy for Kulich. Well deserved!
btw why they call him "Kulda"?

The -da is a typical Czech ending - like calling him Kully in English.

Wow incredible game!

Congratulations Czechia first Gold Medal game since 2001!

Best of luck!

We sent 10 players born in 2004 and 1 born in 2005. It was truly a B team. And it stood up well against other teams who sent their best. Lots of respect to the boys.

You were missing 3 players. It wasn't your B team.

 

[Czechboy]

And with that... All 4 monkeys are dead.

Beat Canada after 30 years
Beat Germany after 3 straight losses to 2014
Beat Sweden after 20 years of anhilations
First medal in 17 years

Due monkeys die!lol

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

don’t worry bro, next cup we will send our best. Missing your entire blue line and still being this good. Wow. Swedish hockey have lots of depth.

I feel like you’re related to eye of ra and have created the monster we’ve all come to know and love

 

[Czechboy]

Suchanek saved us and Kulich and jiricek picked great times to step up.

It felt like we'd never get a shot again and, if we did, Lindblom would stop it.

Great game Sweden.. good luck tomorrow.

Thank you, this question has confused me for a while.

I think my joke was poorly framed since salt is an insult on here.lol

At the Fifa world Cup this dude that drops sale on steaks got on the field and pissed off everybody whole.getting selfies. They call.him salt.bae. apologies.. not directed at you!

Oops I should've gotten that, but yeah that post was readable in two ways

 

[tabness]

damn just caught the highlights this seemed like a great game

We will beat you to a pulp in the WHC! Just you wait!

How dare you!

Ummm... There's another game in this building... in an hour.

Not really... We asked for the silver medals and are drinking in Halifax till Sunday. It's a forfeit.lol

Let me ask you, are you honestly serious with your comments? Or do you even want anyone, besides yourself that is, too take you seriously?
Because now everyone thinks you are a troll and if you really aren't? I'm sad for you.

Silver has a weight of gold for us, these guys are already champs. Today it was not only always superb SWE team, but also blind refs.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Huh? I legitimately do root for the Czech Republic after Germany in hockey, but this ceremony bullshit has been getting on my nerves for a while. Just play the damn anthem for the winners and let the losers lick their wounds in the dressing room

I feel like this rant would have made more sense 40 years ago when they started doing it.

 

[Pieck]

Well that was great to watch.

I've had a soft spot for the Czechs ever since I started closely watching this tourney in 2017. They always seemed decent but just a step below the big 5. They pulled off some upsets here and there, but even in the years with Zadina, Necas, and Chytil, it just felt like it would never be enough to medal. They were always the underdog, and it's hard for an underdog to win 2 in a row. So it's fitting that when they finally clinched a medal, they weren't even the underdog. Even if they played like one in overtime

I was a little surprised to see Spacek named one of the 3 players of the tournament, and that's just a testament to how well this team played as a whole because Spacek was pretty good. It could've really gone to any of Svozil, Suchanek, Jiricek, Sapovaliv, Kulich, and Spacek. And that's not even taking into account players like Tichacek, Brabenec, Chlemar, Sale, Marcel, etc who did very well.

It's been a blast watching Czechia in this tournament. I really hope Canada wins this semifinal of course, but if we don't at least there's a silver lining - I get to support this Czech team one more time

I mean... If you have to ask?lol

One PP in the first... That's it! Not sure if Sweden was flawless, czechs were embellishing or the refs were blind.

However.. I always assume refs make mistakes and never blame them for a win or loss. Tough job... I wouldn't want it.lol

Great game Sweden.. good luck tomorrow.

The dissapointment never seems to let go enough for me to watch bronze games. I know that sounds kinda entitled, but it is what it is. I’m choosing to focus on the next tournament.

If one team has to eliminate Sweden I’m glad it was Czechia/Cesko (seriously please tell me what it is I am legitimately confused)

The top 3 surprised me but

After that OT... Suchanek is now a Czech god. He has allowed 2 against Canada and 3 (in two games) against Sweden. So his stats against the big boys are exceptional.

Spacek is not high end offence like svozil and he's not jiricek BUT he had been solid for 5 games and by solid I mean sensational.

Sapo leads the team in minutes.. he takes all the draws and does all the hard work. He's a beast and because of him... The other guys can fly a little. He is the perfect NHL 3C. Glad.hengot recognized tbh. All our forwards have been up and down but you can count ons sapo to do everything but score goals. Not an insult.

Cesko is how czechs say it and is on the jersey.

Czechia is how czechs want English speakers to call us (despite removing it from the jersey)... Most Czechs hate czechia and don't call it that. I can't type it without getting pissed off so I go with the jersey name!

Not entitled at all... Swedes have a higher standard.

If we had lost and won bronze tomorrow I would've ran naked in the mountains of Quebec!

 

[GreenLine]

That was a little tough to watch. The final 5 minutes Czechia looked exhausted and didn't get any decent scoring chances. Sweden did a great job of clogging the shooting lanes but Czechia should've been able to cycle around the outside a lot better than that.

Then the OT looked like both teams were hoping it'd go to a shootout.

I suspect the Canada-USA game will be the best game of the tournament.

 

[canswetoxic]

if you can't score 5vs3 you can't be in final.
