Yeah this D is definitely the best in a while and it must be said it's always been our Achilles heel so it's like a breath of a fresh air in the eyes of a Czech fan. That and skating.
Even against Canada, they keep pushing forward. We lost to Sweden but had a healthy dose of the play.
Best line at the World Juniors we've had I reckon.
it works great in the AHL... he's killing it down there with that shot.
Do you mean tonight?lol
I don't think he had a chance on the 3 goals. The first goal happens because of a bs call and Alge/Streule both standing next to Kulich without doing anything to stop him. They were 2vs1 in a 4vs4 situation yet failed to cover the only dangerous guy near them. The 2nd one I have no clue what Sidler did there but it looked very casual. Probably fell asleep. The 3rd one is also on Sidler. His actions caused his opponent to crash into Pasche so Pasche once again had no chance at all. Pasche is a poor goalie but I think even a NHL goalie can't prevent those 3 goals.@Hinterland If you want to mald about Pasche today I'm not going to say anything
I don't disagree but it seems every time the puck is passed towards Jiricek during a cycle in the offensive zone he's winding up for a big slap shot. He could try to walk the line or setup a teammate with a quick pass.
I don't know...but even if...if on in a 4vs4 you've gor two guys covering one the one guy shouldn't get to the puck first let alone be allowed to fire a shot from prime slot position.
There it is!
It's a very flattering comparison.. I've also heard Burns mentioned a lot.
I don't think he has the punishing physical nature to his game that Weber had. I have always kind of liked the Hedman comp.
