It’s 7 - 3 now Per. I just tuned in. Was the goaltending shitty for Sweden or did the Czechs just beat the wheels off of the Swedes?

The goaltending wasn’t great, but I don’t blame the goalies for this.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Sat May 25, 2024 7:46 am It’s 7 - 3 now Per. I just tuned in. Was the goaltending shitty for Sweden or did the Czechs just beat the wheels off of the Swedes?
Not sure what we could have done differently. We have more possession, more shots (40-23), win the puck battles, the game is mostly in the Czech zone… But they are extremely effective and capitalize on their chances while we hit the posts or miss the goal.
The Czechs have always been good at this type of counterpunch hockey. They have great D and speedy snipers. You make a mistake in their zone and they storm ahead on a breakaway. If you get an early lead they can seldom turn it around, but when they defend a lead they are lethal.
The Czechs are good. As I said before, they beat Finland and the USA and took Canada to overtime. No excuses. You can’t give them an inch. And we did.
Very disappointed, but fun for the Czechs to get to play a final in front of their home crowd.

Necas is a beaut, are we trading for him? Hronek for Necas. RFA for RFA. Getterdun

As mentioned, Fiala, Niederreiter and Josi are not bad players.

Bartschi looks ok.

Pastrnak won gold for Czechia and most likely celebrated with some premiun Czech lager!
