Potential hopefuls based on nhl playoffs:

I would spread Tatar and Panik on two seperate lines. I think Marian Studenic should make the team. He was among the last cuts from the Devils training camp in September. Speedy two-way winger who plays a north-south game. with some skill as well. Can move up and down the lineup and play both wing. Plenty versatile. Also, since your team is including Cehlarik shouldn't it include Chara and Halak as well? There's no chance Boston lets Cehlarik leave Providence for the WC's. They're a playoff contender and he's one of their first call-ups in case of injury.

Tatar - Kristof - Bakos
Panik - Marcinko - Hudacek
Nagy - Sukel - Bucek
Studenic - Kytnar - Hascak

Daloga - Sekera
Fehervary - Jaros
Cajkovsky - Ceresnak

Hudacek
Janus


Possible additons depending on NHL/AHL playoffs:

F:
Peter Cehlarik
Tomas Jurco
Marko Dano

D:
Zdeno Chara
Erik Cernak
Martin Marincin

G:
Jaroslav Halak
Patrik Rybar


Hopefully I didn't forget anyone. As usual, the center position continues to be Slovakia's glaring weakness. Every year there seems to be one or two wingers who have to play center, which I'm not a fan of. Good news is Boston and Toronto are facing eachother in the first round. But regardless, with how late the WC is this year, it's likely most of those 'possible additions' will end up on the final roster. Slovakia should see a decent roster this year. The goal should be to make the semi-finals. If they miss the quarter-finals yet again, and on home ice, it will a fiasco.

 

[smitty10]

Any word on Tatar, Panik, Jaros and Sekera joining?

It’s likely we will miss it... I have zero faith in this team. Hopefully crowd sees on ice product and does something... highly unlikely. Nagy playing erghhhh. And no chance Studenic makes the team, even if he had good season.

 

[lostinwarsaw]

Tatar and seeker and Jaros I’m pretty sure are. I doubt Panik

 

[slovakiasnextone]

Panik depends on whether they figure out the insurance somehow.

As for Studenic, they said that they might invite him to camp once his season is done depending on what the roster will look like at that point and whether there will be room for trying out players then. He had a disappointing second half of the season compared to the first one, so not sure what kind of impact he would have.

 

[mirec04]

The best team we could have right now if all circumstances would go for us

Tatar-Kristof-Panik
Nagy-Jurco-Bucek
Bakos-Dano-Cehlarik
Bondra (Lamper)-Marcinko-Studenic (Lantosi)

Fehervary-Chara
Cernak-Sekera
Jaros-Ceresnak
Cajkovsky -Marincin
(Daloga)

Halak
Hudacek
Rybar

Good roster but Jurco doesnt play on center position.

 

[Goodman68]

Semifinal is science fiction..

 

[Elvs]

Semifinal is science fiction..

Why? Quarter finals is realistic, so it makes sense to aim for the next level. Especially on home ice. They've beaten the bigger nations several times with weak rosters. They fell in OT against both the Czechs and Swedes last year. And that roster was the weakest Slovakia has ever had. With a stronger team this year, there's no reason why they couldn't be capable of an upset in just one elimination game.

 

[mirec04]

Good roster but Jurco doesnt play on center position.

My mistake, I don't know why I thought that Nagy was playing with Jurco and Bakos during last Championship.. but also in case of such line Nagy would be the center probably and not Jurco...

Nagy, Jurco and Bakos played together only in last game against Belarus and Nagy was a center. Before that, the first line was Nagy-Kristof-Jurco

 

[Elvs]

Any chance Robin Kovacs could join? Really exciting to watch him play for Luleå but I don't know if hes a consideration for Slovakia.

Probably not in consideration for team Slovakia since he's Swedish

 

[teravaineSAROS]

Ah **** my bad.

I don't know why I thought he was from Slovakia.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Ah **** my bad.

I don't know why I thought he was from Slovakia.

well kovacs is not a swedish name, its a hungarian name.

 

[lostinwarsaw]

Ah **** my bad.

I don't know why I thought he was from Slovakia.

I’ve known some people with name Kovacs from southern Slovakia. But no this one represents Sweden although his parents could be from Slovakia or Hungary

 

[Elvs]

Ah **** my bad.

I don't know why I thought he was from Slovakia.

In your defence Luleå has had many Slovaks in the past and have been sucessful with them. Lubos Bartecko, Tomas Surovy, Vladimir Orszagh, Jaroslav Obsut off the top of my head. Christian Jaros and Peter Cehlarik developed there as juniors as well

Ah I might've thought of Jaros because I remember us having a young promising Slovak on the team.

The connection is interesting. Luleå's U20/J20 team has 3 Slovaks on it (including the captain).

By the way what's the rivalry with the Czech Republic like? is beating them a big deal over there?

Rivalry with Czechs is still big although it is not such as it used to be 20 years ago.. for some people beating CZ is more than to win medal and lose against our "big brother"

 

[tobu]

Honestly, I'd be surprised if Lantosi doesn't make the roster, he's had a breakout season together with Bucek, is in form, and I definitely rate him over Bondra, Chovan, or Hascak at the moment.

My expectations for the roster assuming Boston and Tampa Bay go through to 2nd round.

Tatar-Kristof-Jurco
Nagy-Hudacek-Panik
Bucek-Dano-Bakos
Lantosi-(?*)-Studenic (Bondra, Liska) ?* not sure on the last center, our usual roster issue, options for me are Kytnar, A.Stastny, Surovy, Zigo

Sekera-Jaros
Feherevary-Ceresnak
Marincin-Cajkovsky
Koch-Rosandic - I don't want Sersen here, he's had an awful year and is out of form.

Overall, I think this would be our best squad in past few years.

 

[tobu]

Šatan confirmed Sekera, Tatar, Jaros as well as Panik - all will join the team in the last week of April. Studenic is also joining the team in the coming week, but he isn't a lock yet, will need to convince in pre games.

Great news. And now Cernak is just one game away from elimination, would be a huge addition.

 

[alko]

You can include also Cernak now.

 

[tobu]

You can include also Cernak now.

Yeah, one game away from elimination. Who would have thought so coming in to the playoffs.
