GDT: USA vs Czech (U18 Semis)

[Czechboy]

Nice shot! 1-1.

 

[Czechboy]

Shots are 19-8 US and we've had a few PP's... they are dominating and I expect them to use their rush a bit more as those are their goal and best chances.

What does it say about Czech program when our coach has his son in Finland? Or our former national team coach (Spacek)with his son in the Q? National team coaches sending their sons away is pretty telling.

You're absolutely right.

As always, we'll defeat ourselves by stupid errors. That's the main difference here.

 

[Czechboy]

What a goal! Cooley with the setup. US taking advantage of their superior 5 on 5 play. They are flying now.

 

[Hemsky001]

This is so unlucky, he slipped because of the stick lying there.

 

[Czechboy]

Another mistake and another gorgeous goal. Poor Czech goalie.. no chance on theses.. Cech trips on a broken stick. That's awful luck but nice work by US to score on these. In tight dangles and passes. I think that's game.

Real bad bounce for us. Good D too.

Terrible luck for sure but I’ll take it

The plays after the stick fall were elite. It was a nice goal for sure.

 

[Czechboy]

That was a penalty? Meh... not that reffing is our issue.

 

[Hemsky001]

Game over. Deservedly I gotta say.

Hey you know we’re looking decent regardless. Been very impressed overall with Czechs. bad turnovers and luck but USA is absolutely ridiculously skilled.
Now it’s over.

 

[Czechboy]

Another beaut of the rush... these are all high skilled highlight reel goals. Weak turnover and US is gone! I don't even think we're playing that bad. Just 1 line vs 4.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Getting a bit out of hand now. 4-1 USA

If we win bronze I'll be thrilled... we will be playing a very sad nation after losing their derby.

As I type this.. another gorgeous goal.lol

Starts to stink of shame, there's no excuse.

Turn out the lights the fat lady is singing. 5-1 USA

US looking awesome. Game is over. I'm not even sure which goal was their prettiest. Pure skill display.

It's all about saving the energy for the next game for both teams now. Hope we'll prepare for the bronze medal game the best we can.
