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

[ffh]

Wisconsin should have released Caufield to play in this tournament

 

[Hagstrom]

If Teply was a lefty that woulda been golden

 

[bsu]

I like this

 

[ORRFForever]

Czechs doing really well. Wow! They are motivated and believe in themselves.

 

[McDrai]

First 5 minutes or so looked dominant from the US. Now the Czechs have settled down and are playing their game of tight checking and clogging up the neutral zone.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Czechs playing tight D

 

[Sonk]

Looks like US game to lose, but they’ve also given the Czechs a couple good looks/taken away some of their own of absolutely boneheaded plays. Could come back to bite them.

 

[ORRFForever]

He tried to bank it off the goalie. Wasn't a pass.

That's what I figured. I think he should have waited for reinforcements.

 

[VictorLustig]

US defensemen taking so many strides up the ice before making the outlet pass. Easy for the Czechs to defend.

 

[NJ DevLolz]

Don't see anything more than a second liner for Turcotte. Doesn't have high end skill

 

[KaseMeOutside]

not handling the Czech's style well.....start banging bodies or something, dont just skate around

That’s what you need to do when the defending team is playing 3 deep in the neutral zone

 

[Opak]

The US needs to figure out what happened to their early game momentum.

The Czechs need to keep grinding, hope that one of their counterattacks results in a quick goal.

 

[MaKarter]

Wisconsin should have released Caufield to play in this tournament

Maybe they sent the wrong Caufield?

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Interesting matchup, the Czechs clogging up the "swamp". The US seems to be ready for this and is trying to dump and chase, but it hasn't been too effective so far. The Czechs are looking sharper.

 

[Groo]

The color guy is pretty unbearable. Pierre has got nothing on this guy as far as name dropping goes and he repeatedly talks over the game.

 

[czechcanadian]

Hugo Has and Kucerik looking really bad out there. Zero creativity or ability. Svozil and Niricek need more minutes. Kubicek as well.

 

[Czechboy]

Really happy!

Tie game
We had more shots
A few good chances
Our pk continues to be good
Parik looked good and got real lucky on crossbar
We've had one awful period and another half period... Relatively solid in rest of tourney so far
3 goals in 7 periods is a little low and PP needs to score one
Keep it close as long as you can... When states start scoring they don't stop scoring!

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

So part way through the 3rd game it is obvious the lines don't work. Will the cardboard cutout behind the bench make any changes.

ffh is clever.

 

[VictorLustig]

No, that's how all your forwards get stuck on the offensive blueline.

 

[Gravity]

Maybe they sent the wrong Caufield?

Yes. They wanted 21 year Brock Caufield who had a whopping 1 goal and 3 points in 31 games last year instead.......

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Close game.. US came out on fire but its evening out

 

[ORRFForever]

US defensemen taking so many strides up the ice before making the outlet pass. Easy for the Czechs to defend.

As someone who is "faceblind", to me, everyone looks like your avatar.

 

[BondraTime]

No, that's how all your forwards get stuck on the offensive blueline.

If the other team is playing 3 deep man coverage, you need to skate the puck up the ice
