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.

You think the Canucks would've picked him though? Hell no. When's the last time we drafted anyone from Czechia? Jasek in 2015? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Can't wait for the final today! Grew up in Halifax and played in that building many times. Ice was always s*** there though. Was also there in April of last year to see Judas Priest. Have had a lot of friends going to the games in the tourney. Home crowd was awesome yesterday! Go Canada go! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorvatToBaertschi Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Czechia is the more balanced and better TEAM. The thing is, Canada's got the most devastating weapon it's had in maybe decades. Connor freaking Bedard. The guy is single handedly (yeah I said it) carrying this team to gold. Not knocking the other Canada players because to be fair, some of them will have good NHL careers, but it's easy to tell that without Bedard, the podium would have been a long shot. Heck, they haven't even buried 50% of the caviars Bedard has set up all tournament long. Wright is also.... not a bust but clearly not someone worth using a top pick for. This tournament has also made me more ok with not having Guenther. He's nothing special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thee’s only a couple Czech beer available here that I like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Drunken Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Can only hope and imagine the boys will be extra fiery tonight hell bent on avenging that ugly loss. There's no reason they shouldn't win, they've beaten more talented teams in this tournament. Czech's are good and play a good system but Canada is deeper with more talent.

This tournament has also made me more ok with not having Guenther. He's nothing special. Guenther is 19 lol. Don't read too much into these tournament point totals.....Guenther has the same amount or more points as Toews, Heatley, Point, Makar, Marchand Kadri, Batherson, Cirelli did in less or equal games played. These are teenagers on a huge stage, this isn't a direct comparison or projection for their pro career in any way. I personally would rather have Guenther than 6 goal Garland and OEL until he's 40....but that's just me. Guenther by the way in on a better PPG pace than Garland...just saying. He has 3 less goals in 15 less games played so it's odd you'd rather have Garland and OEL. Guys in front of him? Daigle, Hayton, Petan, Lazar, Dawes, Drouin, Lundmark...not a surefire projection. A 19 year old in the NHL is indeed special. That's not debatable. Edited January 5, 2023 by Harold Drunken 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
