GDT: WJC Pre-Tournament Games

[Czechboy]

Sale with a good look too.. that's 3 good looks. So we have some life in us at least.

 

[JackSlater]

The teams look open to trading chances early on.

Can't imagine that is by design.

The czechs are a pretty big team aren't they? I see some signs in them of being able to make this a game myself.

Forwards are a big group to be honest. Guys like Felcman, Jecho and Hradec are all a pain in the ass. D is smaller (Dvorak is a big boy who plays in AHL but Galvas and Rocak are not exactly scary to play against physically). Goalie belongs in the WWE.

 

[Czechboy]

Simek is every bit as small as I thought he was... if we are gong small, can we call up Benak please?

 

[Czechboy]

On the contrary.. one of my fav undrafted Czechs, Dominik Petr is looking pretty big!

 

[Czechboy]

Canada tap dancing again... nice pressure. Czechs seem very happy to let them skate right down the middle and shoot. I'm no Craig Button but it seems like a bad idea.lol

 

[jj cale]

There you go!!

And they had almost tied it just moments before.

 

[Czechboy]

Told you Petr was big.lol

For backstory.. he was rigth there with Sale as 'next gen' for CZechs. Got totally derailed by injuries, never got drafted and stalled. however, he seems to score for us internationally. I'm a big fan. Tie game!

 

[JackSlater]

Czechs take advantage of the open ice. Too loose. Nice shot too.

We've had several high danger scoring chances.. surprised by how many to be honest. Jecho got in there... sale got in there, felcman got in there and now Petr. It looks like an all star game out here. Not very physical and lots of chances.

can tell from one period you guys have the tools there as a team to medal once again, and it doesn't matter if it's an exhibition game.

 

[EK47]

Well Sweden hurt Germany almost as bad as Die Grüne hurt their energy system..

 

[jj cale]

Cmon Dickinson, pick your game up.

Nice defensive work by Schaefer

 

[Erikfromfin]

Finland - Usa 2-5 FT

 

[Czechboy]

Nice poke by George. Great pass by Fibigr.

 

[jj cale]

Hmmm.

I think this will be a game, an entertaining one too.

 

[kudla]

any update on Swiss - Latvia game ?

 

[Czechboy]

Period 1 looked relatively even.

Czechs had a lot of chances.
Canada had a lot of chances.

I'd say both coaches aren't enjoying the defending at all.

Czechs seem to not mind Canada shooting from the box.. I really do! Shut this are down please.lol

 

[jj cale]

I'm sure Hagens is going to impress and have a great tournament but I think the cats out of the bag that it's officially a two horse race now for the top spot this draft as Schaefer is his equal as a prospect, you just can't help but be continually impressed with his abilities.

I have zero doubt scouts have them neck and neck now.


Hard to take your eyes off him when he plays.

 

[Czechboy]

Thank god.. 3 on 1 and no shot.

Here comes the shoving

 

[Czechboy]

Rocak got turnstyled.. I do think Hrabal was in position to at least attempt to make a save.

 

[JackSlater]

Rehkopf probably should have had that one.

 

[Czechboy]

My Petr fandom is still very high. They have him on line 4 for both exhibition games so I'm worried he may get cut. My logical cut is Simek. I think Petr wil move his way up. I also said the world will now Galvas and I haven't noticed him at all.lol

 

[jj cale]

Nice work by Cowan there on that shift.
