Marcel Barinka? What happened?
Marcel Barinka? What happened?
Yeah, it should be a competetive team. I think the biggest question mark is Prikryl, who was a key player for this team for years and he should be available, since his team is not going anywhere, but you can't ignore his very weak season. I very much doubt Barinka is available since Halifax is going far this year. And also I wonder if Novak gets back on track is good enough to compete for a spot as an underager. He is having a weak season.
As of today I see like this:
Raska - Pytlik - Muzik
Mysak - Najman - Teply
Lang - Prikryl - Psenicka
Beranek - Peterek - Toman
Cermak(?), Novak
Zurek - Has
Mlcak - Kubicek
Poizl - Blaha
Kucerik, Suhrada
Malik
Parik
Bednar/Skorpik
Král wants 16 teams in the junior league.Well, the conclusions seem pretty reasonable. I miss something about the defense problem though. Let's see what the real implementations will look like.
I also wonder how many teams we are talking with the narrowing. I fear we're talking something like 2-4.
Watched the whole game, I would add the goalie Parik as a standout too. Made good saves in the 2nd period when Finland pushed us a lot (especially before our 4th goal) and then right at the end. Honestly the last 4-5 minutes were pretty scary, you would think with a 4 goal lead they will just easily close it out, but Finland scored their third and then had some pressure (actually scored a quick 4th as well, but it was ruled high stick)So a 6-3 win against Finland today at the 5-nations tournament. I managed to watch bits of it. Teply got a couple of goals, he really stood out for me today. Raska also had two with Muzik and Najman the other two. Our top 6 is pretty good. Not sure about Barinka though if he's been a healthy scratch for Halifax recently.
Watched both Finland and Sweden games, don't share the optimism.We did great at the U20 tourney in Perm a couple of days ago. I watched the Finland game and it was the best junior national team performance I've seen in a long time. Honestly getting my hopes up for the World Championships in December.
Why not? We held our own for most of the game against Finland.Watched both Finland and Sweden games, don't share the optimism.
Czech team will rely heavily on goalies, the defensive core is very bad. Not to mention the opponents at the actual WJC will be far better than what Finland or Sweden brought to this friendly tournament.Why not? We held our own for most of the game against Finland.
I feel bad for the players, but otherwise it's a good thing. Reminder to Kral and co. they can't do whatever they want. No matter the result, it hurts Czech hockey and shows how incompetent people run the Czech hockey association.Our junior league is stopped for a while. GOOD JOB KRAL, GOOD JOB!

Considering we will have home ice advantage, who knows, but Czech junior teams underwhelm at major tournamets year after year. You are setting yourself up for a rude awakening if you think Czechs will play noteworthy role at the WJC. In fact, I would say it's not out of question Czechs end up in the relegation group.
