If Czech can control their nerves againts lumberjacks this one will be something like 6-1 / 8-1.

I think this game will be close. 3- 2 Czech Republic

so far the game looks pretty even.

Kazakhstan just hit the post :eek:

I'm surprised. 0-0 after 16mins play :eek:

End of the first. Kazakhs are really good! Not inferior at all. I think they even outshoot the czechs. Nice game so far. :handclap:

Interesting, I never thought that Kazakhstan would be a serious opposition to the Czech Republic. Then again, I thought the same about Denmark against Finland :cry:

jagr's out eh?

I think this is only mental thing. If Czechs stop dreaming about goals instead of doing them they will win the game.

jagr's out eh?

He's not playing today, but he may play again later in the tournament

I think Levitate's comment was only sarcastic.

My bad :innocent:

nah i wasn't being sarcastic, just making sure he was out of todays game.

hopefully he'll be back soon

Czech rep finally scores, Ales Hemsky off the face off

Yeah, I need Czech goals for my betting list.

Game over, Czech win 1-0. The first period was good, but the second and third were quite boring.

Sounds like Kazakhstan played a good game or the Czech simply sucked?

1-0 wow :eek:

The Czechs didn't do much...

Kazakhstan looked good in the first two periods, but I don't think they even had a shot in the third period, at least not until the very end.

The worst possible result for Germany, somehow I knew the game would end like this :shakehead

The goalie Vitaliy Kolesnik was superb again, definately a big reason to their success so far.

Terrible game. Kazakhstan deserved to win that match.

Yep. A truly tragic preformace. They better get their act together fast because this was horrific and they are gonna get their ***** kicked on saturday :madfire:
And that pass in the third period that found the Kazach forward alone on the blueline was NOT an offside :eek:

I suspect Kolesnik to use an oversized equipment. I mean, that guy makes Garth Snow look like an old timer, his butterfly covers the whole bottom of the net !
