That doesn't make much sence, Sykora is a wing, and Lang is a center.

Lang's reason was familiar problems.
Question mark is also on Jagr, who don't wants to represent Czech republic.

he didn't say he doesn't want to...he's just not sure yet...as i know he's gonna talk to hlinka and then he'll decide. :teach:

What I heard was that Hlinka had to coax him to even represent. But I'm sure, that he'll be set on roster soon.

Jagr was easily the Czech's most dominant player at the World Championships. Sykora swapped in for Lang isn't too bad...but losing Jagr would be a blow.

I think this is a pretty big blow for the Czech team. Perhaps Finland can now challenge them for #1 in the European Division?

Not until Jagr is out...

Press today: Jagr didn't come to meeting with Hlinka, therefore is very unlikely, he would play for Czechs

Free Press was reporting Lang's hand wasn't fully healed.
