Game over. hats off Swiss friends. Aebi best man on ice. Good for Avs PO hopes. Habs Mark Streit with a GWG today. Most tragical PP-performance by our side since 1996 World Cup :(! Lang invisible, Spacek in own zone tragical . God save the Czech Soul .

2-2 at least now. Great co-work by Hemsky and goalscorer (-another ex-Kladno D-man) Marek Zidlicky . ... but Streit (!) strikes back -> 3-2 Helvetia! ((

Yes!!! Finally Jagr! What a 12ft. wrist in top left corner. Beuatiful pass by Marty Straka after his good forchecking :).

... I am here and waiting for some fair-minded comment . We are too weak in central zone, too much bad passes and alibi-individual attempts. Much more giveaways as usual, than a lot of 2on1 or breakaway situations for Suisse team . Our play can be only better after this period. A time lag problems is the reason maybe . We'll see after second.

... Hi and full agreement with your words. A little unlucky loss for Russians. And about our game, Germans plays man-to-man hockey against our both first lines. I was satisfied with our 4th "checking" line ... Erat-Cajánek-Bulis ... pretty well tempo and good timing in attacking zone . We'll see in Saturday versus Suomi, Jagr&Co will get more space for their play. For sure. .

Gaborík is a new Bure for Slovak people after this game! Till next match at least :D!!

By me predicted 3-3 result came a little soon as expected . No matter. Good coast to coast hockey now. Win for Hossa's guys would be nice .

What a goal from Pavol Demitra :). 1-0 Slovaks. Kovalev's 3-metres wrist hit the post few minutes ago. ... wait .... 1-1 now. Pavel Datsyuk's backhand for 1-1 at the moment! Up&down ice-hockey now . Wonderful 3-steps co-work -> Datsyuk-Kovalchuk-Kovalev -> 2-1 Russia! Kovy looks great tonite !

Slovakia-Russia clash is already started. Avs Budaj in goal for our "brothers" nation in goal. My prediction 3-3 draw . With some Satan or Svatos goals.

Latest news from team's medical crew. Not a groin or knee problems by Dom, but a stretched muscle injury on his right leg . He will visit Torino's Hospital for a magnetic resonance checkup during this evening. Another problem is with our left winger Patrik Elias - intercostals injury! He will miss tomorrow's game with Switzerland . Rusty Olesz will replace him in 3rd line.

... thanks! But a little "Diet Coke" performance today. No matter. Important 2 points at beginning and obligatory goal for Jaromir . Germans playing pretty well, agressive today. And what about referee - no comment !!

2-1. Who else than another Kladno player Tomas Kaberle with both goals!!! :) His 1st was a nice individual action and his PPG , 2nd a great Kabby's timing by 3on2 situation .

1st Period Summary: ... 1-0 for Germany ... 2 of 9 czech shots hited a post (Rucinsky,Cajanek) :( ... two consecutive penalty for today's honoree Jaromir Jagr. ... Dominator stayed in goal just first 10 minutes. He left the ice due to groin injury. Last confirmation tells that he will be OK in few days .

Ohh, Ohh, Ohh!!! Hasek is injured! Looks bad for him. Left knee problem or groins again, I think. Vokoun is ready to play. For the rest of tournament maybe!!! Bad news for Sens too. Emery is bad replacement for post-season games .

Jaromir turn 34 years today. Congrats from his native Kladno :)! ... and pair of points against the German friends now, Jardo! Game will start in 2-3 minutes. My prediction (like in Can-Ita match) will be 6-1 for us . Rucinsky & Lang with PPG tonite.

... yes! Finally came Air Canada speed . Nice 2nd Italian goal by Parco, BTW ...

2-1 Canada so far, but ... :mellow: Guys need time to put on together. Good PK by the Italians . We'll see, my prediction 6-1 Can today.

... Dominator be going to be a first goalie in our Team. For the match against Germany on Wednesday at least ! For the Switzerland game will be Tomas Vokoun between the pipes. Final decision will come after this duel. ... and three members of our 1st PP-line . ... Kabby,Jagi & Kubi ... and last news : Captain of Czech Team in Torino will be Detroit's center Robert Lang.

Hi everyone, Torino calling! ... three most important players arrived! and some news from our crew cab -> this is Czech mascot for upcoming tournament .... ... pink pig named Karel (Charles) . Nobody knows why this name, but maybe Charles Bronson and his Death Wishes endless story was the reason! Like in his movie - "working hard" till sweet golden end!

...

Night guys! Don’t be sad . ... see you in some "Olympic thread" lately ! GO GO

Sens wins, BTW!

CJAD - boys in Ectase! Time for puck-magicians now!

OHH Cris! Bravo!

... I agree! Would be nice and important for our Play-Off dreams! :)
