GDT: USA Vs Czech Republic | 12/29 @ 2PM ET | TSN/NHLN

The Czechs with the identical line-up like vs Russia. Jaromir Pytlik still out (lower body), Parik in the net.

I probably won't be able to watch the game, but am definitely going to check the scoreboard from work.

Might be better not watching it!
Thanks for the info! Sucks not having Pytlik again!

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Faber has played the best of the three Gophers and is probably the best hockey player.

Johnson hasn’t been bad either.

 

[Nineteen67]

Best game of the day easily.

Should be a good one.

Should be. I have to be in and out some this afternoon. I wish it was the 5pm game.

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

is NHL Network not working for anyone else?

 

[king89]

Knight always looks nervous

 

[novisor]

Czechs have seemed to be beating expectations (minus second half of the game against Sweden) - hope they keep it up!

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Damn hit the net guys

 

[GibsonIsGod666]

Man, Kaliyev is a terrible skater

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

can we go live please

 

[McDrai]

Holy firedrill

 

[MysticLeviathan]

berard continuing to look good

 

[Czechboy]

Parik with a goaltending clinic there.lmao

 

[Bonin21]

A pass on the 2 on 1 would have been nice

 

[Opak]

No idea how the puck didn't end up in the Czech net

 

[MysticLeviathan]

crossbar ewww

Kaliyev needs to be removed from top line for teams that have speed and skill....

He can't keep up with Turcotte and Zegras. If they lose a faceoff they chase the entire shift it literally kills that line.

Wasn’t that clear cut of a 2 on 1, might’ve thought he didn’t have the time to make the pass without it being intercepted

 

[McDrai]

This doesn't look like it's going to be a close game

 

[MysticLeviathan]

A pass on the 2 on 1 would have been nice

don’t think that would’ve resulted in a better chance. there were chances in that flurry. they couldn’t finish.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Parik didn't cheat on that short 2-0.. Lots of goalies in this event won't play in the NHL but Parik has a shot.

 

[Czechboy]

That was a penalty but holy God was it a weak one

 

[bsu]

What a dumbass penalty.

I think Berard should replace him, he plays with so much energy and could cause havoc and create space for Turcotte & Zegras

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Czechs definitely backing to block a ton of shots.

Him or Brisson are best options for sure.
