Czechs were undermanned, but I'm glad Germany can come in here and win games against better developed nations. They're structured well, they're getting good goaltending, they have skill guys.

Kulich was the best Czech forward today, looked more motivated than any other guy up front. Novak is so frustrating to watch, because he can be so much better. He pops here and there but than goes quiet, than boom one timer goal. Reminds me of Chromiak. Are both suspended Dman back for the next game?
Tough for the Czechs without Jiricek. They could have still won with better defensive structure. Obviously it is juniors so very exciting, but Czechs strategy was helpful to the Germans.
Germany appears to be better than Austria. I am impressed at Germany’s depth, but the struggle for new hockey countries is consistently creating good teams that can make QF

Yeah he definitely didn't play it correctly..he stopped hugging the post and dropped down.I think he might have been expecting a wraparound attempt

Doubt we would have won if Jiricek didn’t get injured. Suspension’s to two other blueliners for Czechia didn’t help them much either.
Perfect storm for Germany to pull off the win.
Great game, was a toss of a coin.

Despite what the Czech TV commentators are saying, it was quite a good hockey game. Bednar made a terrible mistake on the GWG but I would not blame him for the result. When you have 40 shots, you simply must score more than just one goal on a lucky deflection. I was missing creativity from Czech defensemen tonight, they were too passive on the offensive blue. It is difficult for the forwards when they have to play everything down low by themselves. Hopefully Krutil can bring some confidence to the D core.
The Germans have proven once again they are not bad at all. Both teams had equal chances to win at the end. It was a very close game, all about one lucky shot / goalie mistake.

I'd like to believe our guy checked out HFBoards during the intermission, my sad jokes boosted him and he went on to score the winner.

Well, back then we could barely keep up with Canada and others in terms of skating and stickhandling at speed. I've been watching since 2008. Those things have definitely improved since then but the end result is still the same. We need to produce more game breaking players if we want to medal again.

Jiricek back would help but so would reichel, peterka and stutzl. German was missing more than we were.
Deserved win... Very clean game. Zero complaints.
Next year the Czechs still have Svozil and Jiricek. If they each take another step it will be a harder team to match up with. I don't know the forward prospects but I'm sure it won't be any loss giving up this group of 19 year old forwards.
Yeah, 2009-2012 (cca) were much worse years. Also, we shouldn't forget that hockey in Germany is on rise. This team Germany is definitely no underdog, they have shown vs. Finland already that they are capable of playing good hockey.
It's a rather weak roster even by German standards. But also the oldest team in the tournament which seems to pay off trying to avoid relegation.
It's a huge difference from top teams. With all due respect to the German team, we just have to beat such a strong team. But we didn't even have a permanent advantage when our forging waned, we were suddenly unable to stay in the offensive third. For me, all the attackers, from Myšák and Novák, are a huge disappointment. What does the renumbering look like in our submission? Yesterday with Canada, Malát made such a pass that he set up a counterattack by his opponent, who equalized to 3: 3, today Chlubna leaves the puck behind, the poor quality is striking. I knew that we would have two bad attacks, but that they were not able to show something extra in the first two is a huge disappointment.
I don't want to think if the Germans had a complete team, a loss of three goals would be absolutely real.
What now? Pray that the two defenders will give us at least a little confidence when we lost him after Jiříček's injury. But it just would happen here that a miracle would happen for us to play something.

Was his usual borderline elite defensively self. Had an assist on the first goal and probably played close to 25mins, felt like he was out every other shift.

This forward group really isn't that strong. I did like kulich though and ivan ivan wasn't bad. But there's just a lack of finish compared to when we had players like Zadina, Vrana or even Frk.

All I ask for next year is that Marcel Marcel makes the team.
Tsn will have a field day with that.

He’s such a good player at this level.
Won’t make the All Tournament team with Edvinsson and Power taking those spots most likely, but Munzenberger is an awesome player.
I loved his game last game I’m assuming it was much of the same this game.
Spacek on defence looked good. If all the Czechs played like him, they may have won. He was strong, played at his own pace and a good skater with size.
...And it's any different now?
Czech prospects might be objectively better than they were in the past, but that applies to every other nation. The results are godawful, I refuse to believe there has been a worse season than this one when it comes to the Czech national teams, all age groups combined. The sport is borderline unwatchable for a Czech fan at this point.

Our last 3 teams should produce at least 3 NHL Dmen.. minimum. That's basically more than the last decade!
Svozil, Jiricek, Krutil, Kral, Has, Kubicek, Spacek, Moravec, Zabransky, Galvas
Good chance 3 of these guys make it..
