DownUndaCanuck Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Big rematch, Czechia are probably favourites but they struggled to score against stingy Sweden. This will be an interesting matchup, top offence vs an almost NHL ready top 4 defence. Goaltending might decide this game like the last one. Giving it to Czechia 4-3 in regulation.

Ur a Towel Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Revenge game for Canada, but it won't be easy. Czechs have looked really good this tourny. Biggest difference though is Canada has Bedard and if he decides to take over the game, then Canada should win. Go Canada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBatch Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) Czechs...don't have Hasek. That said they sure are playing a good team game. Canada just has too much firepower. Feel the only way Canada doesn't come out on top, is if they also don't commit to a team game and too many players try and be the hero. Leave that to Bedard, the rest, roll the lines and play it smart. Fatigue might also be a factor. Hard to imagine Canada losing at this point.

chon derry Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 They bought into the plan with game1 now it’s time to go all 1972 on them…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 The way I see it is if Czechia wins, they deserve gold. They would clearly be the best TEAM of the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyone Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 revenge game........Canada takes over early in the 2nd period and steamrolls them. 6-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 We had crappy goaltending the first game. Milic will be the difference this game and won't allow more than 2 goals I think. Fantilli needs to step it up as well. If he is going as well as Bedard and Milic is on form again then I think Canada takes this no problem. Oh, and Connor is getting another 5 points...

Canada controlled the first game handedly and had some weaker goals against while their goalie was top notch. I am not reading too much into that game.

KFan Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I always love the WJC, but this year has been pretty special hockey with the likes of Bedard, Milic, Stankoven, Roy, Zellweger, etc. So much more entertaining than Canucks hockey right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best Czech forward has been their 6’4 power forward Shapavoliv. Unfortunately he was picked in the second round last year by Vegas. Just after where Vancouver would have picked if they had kept their second rounder. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
