GDT: Switzerland Vs. Slovakia - 12/25 - 2PM ET - TSN/NHLN

[Odie Cleghorn]

Is he really better than Martin Chromiak?

Well he has already set Chromiak up 3 times that Chromiak screwed up.

 

[Kamzik]

Coach Petrovicky gives Chromiak and Slafkovsky a double shift on the PP.

 

[BigBadBoar]

Slafkovsky is looking really good.

 

[PanniniClaus]

That was a good PP> Generated momentum and looked really confident. That can get a team a win or two.

 

[tobu]

This was a great powerplay for Slovakia despite not scoring, great puck movement. Oh and I am so excited about those 16yr olds.

 

[ddlennon]

Lets go slafkovsky tps legend!!

 

[Hinterland]

Goodness me. The Slovaks are really bad

Their PP was fair though. Might not wanna take too many penalties. At least Fatton did look calm and sharp.

 

[Jabs102501]

My god Slafkovsky has to use his shot. One of the strongest areas of his game.

 

[Kamzik]

Oliver Turan two shifts in the first 8 minutes, not liking that so much.

Don't think he's made a single accurate pass so far

Why do these commentators refer to the Czech Republic as "Czech"

i noticed that too, i wonder if they're like, misunderstanding the grammar that you could refer to them as the "czech team" or something but they try and shorthand it in some weird way

like, "czechs" is a word right?

 

[Kamzik]

Becar got caught pinching, skated all the way back and made the play. Like the hustle from the youngster.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Why do these commentators refer to the Czech Republic as "Czech"

Because it is Czech?

Turan is so bad... Like the moment he hits the ice it's trouble.

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Coach Petrovicky gives Chromiak and Slafkovsky a double shift on the PP.

the 2nd unit looked good but it was smart to get them out there again.

 

[Kamzik]

Not sure if anyone noticed, but Coach Petrovicky used all three 16 year-olds on that PP, and it was a good one.

"Czechs" would be correct, just like "Americans" or "Canadians". "Czech" is like they would call the Swedish team just "Swedish" or "Swede".

 

[Jabs102501]

"Czechs" would be correct, just like "Americans" or "Canadians". "Czech" is like they would call the Swedish team just "Swedish" or "Swede".

Yeah really weird that they are using the singular form to describe a whole team

 

[hockey20000]

slovakia has offensive talent how the hell did they lose 6-0 vs the czech the gap shouldn't be that big its the Big 5 these days its no longer a big 6 in my opinion

 

[Kamzik]

Yikes, that 3 on 1 for Slovakia could have went better.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Pretty good pace so far

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

stupid penalties.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Isn't it the same as calling Switzerland Swiss that announcers also just did before commercial brake?

They were undisciplined and played a lot on the PK, that's why.

 

[Jabs102501]

What makes Slovakia think they are the 1970's Soviet team? Just shoot the puck

 

[BigBadBoar]

Yeah really weird that they are using the singular form to describe a whole team

I think they believe it to be like with "the French", but it is not so.
