If you told me before the game that

A. Hrabal was playing great
B. Tied going into third

Then I'd be very happy.

Need to regroup, shorten our bench and go all in.. we are better than that second period.
 
Canada stepped up beautifully and did what they had to do. It's been impressive.

I hear you on switching tactics... Czexhs teams are noticeably more aggressive now and I actually prefer it.

Well, not.in that second period.haha

I didn't see them play this aggressive so far in this tournament. I'm not even against aggressive neutral zone play but Czechia gambled.

Alright man. In the last 10 minutes hes sprung Dumais on a partial break. Sent a cross ice pass to Wood for a shot from the slot. And blocked a shot.

Savoies line been in the Ozone the entire period and just scored to tie it.
Lol sure, Dumais was far from a partial break... Get over it, Minten is among the worst player on this team while having the most time.

He should be the 13th forward.
 
Time to shorten the benches. Just run these three lines in the 3rd imfo

Minten-Celebrini-Minten
Cowan-Minten-Wood
Minten-Beck-Yager
Good idea! Let's give the Czech a chance to advance by playing our superstar as much as we can 😁
 
Czechs were trying to win 2-0 or 2-1 IMO.

They basically turtled in their own zone.

They will regroup during the intermission.

Sets up a good 3rd.

They did the opposite. Which is why Canada was able to dominate the period.

They should have sat back and defended their line to deny Canada quality zone entries. Had they done that it would have forced Canada to dump and chase or into lots of turnovers on zone entries.

Instead, Czechia kept on gambling in the neutral zone. They always stepped up trying to force turnovers. Up against an opponent trying to fly your zone that's a dangerous thing to do.
 
Despite a better period in the second, not exactly impressed with Canada's effort so far. Hope for the best but expectations are not high.
