Voracek needs to take him to the zoo.

Columbus media are such masochists when it comes to the question of the city. Why put doubt in these guys' minds?

One part of my family tree traces back to Plzen, its on my near-future travel plans for genealogical research. And I am a fan of a good Pilsner.

The Jackets have now drafted Pilsners in back to back years!

Jiricek and Svozil are good friends, their families have long been friends.

I am so excited for this player! He is going to be perfect replacement of Seth Jones!

Actually, Svozil was drafted out of Kometa Brno and is originally from Prerov i guess, but both cities are exactly at opposite end of country and far away from Pilsen

Ah my mistake. We heard that bit about their families being friends and maybe someone (myself?) assumed they were both from Pilsen.

Yep Svozil is Moravian and Jiricek is Czech. Svozil is drinking wine and talking with funny accent and Jiricek is drinking beer.

Saw somewhere on here that they weren’t sure if he spoke English. He can, just needs some work

In an interview with Allan Walsh he said he took 30 minute phone call lessons for a year and a half. Seems like a hard way to learn but hes done well with it

Long time listener.

I am very interested in Jiricek as a player and I’m hoping for some info about how he is playing in the AHL. 5 points in 6 games appears great when stat-reading.

But how is he playing? Is he on the first PP? Does he already eat lots of minutes? How is his foot speed in the A?

Thanks beforehand!

He is looking great! Like Seider with higher offensive ceiling, great defensively.

Wow I can only hope you are correct... Got the guy in my fantasy pool. They DID both go 6th overall! Thanks for the reply.

I saw on Twitter that they Called him up
sure hope so, let the young studs play and grow in the Show

 

[Tecmo]

I'm excited to see this kid on the ice!

 

[Rob Brown]

Is he expected to play tomorrow and/or Sunday?

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Have high hopes but don't want him developing the bad habits and systemic confusion that our current defensive corps possesses.

 

[Xoggz22]

My expectations will remain low for any member of this team. However, my standards remain high. Here's hoping expectations meet the level of standards I have for these players/team internally. I don't put much into an 18 year old having impact as a rookie in the NHL. I would have preferred they call up Christensen, however, I get the need for RHD with two currently out. NHL is not a league to develop players. Let's hope this doesn't result in Klesla part 2.

I don't think the intention was to call him up so he could grow and develop "in the Show". We have two injuries on the blue line and needed to promote a d-man. He was next man up.

 

[tunnelvision]

Is he expected to play tomorrow and/or Sunday?

Not sure if anyone knows yet. Today's practice lines could be an indication of some sort. Unless they have an off day of course.

Appears that way

 

[Finner]

Great to see him in the roster. Cant be worse than our defenders has been

Now why would you go and say that. I put a hex on you!

And in getting experience he will grow
