FUn for Marian to play with his brother... Czech republic look better than slovakia on paper i'd say, Gaborik and Satan will perhaps be back soon though..

[RusDRW]

where is Gaborik? He could singlehandedly change 0-3 to 5-3 for Slovaks.

[Andrew]

All of the information has been edited in to the first post.

Yeah anybody know why he isn't on the team? He's at a PPG in the KHL.

[mindfly]

He played bad in the tournament just before christmas... challenge one cup or whatever it's called.. played in russia i think.

[jeff48109]

if Czechoslovakia didn't split up they would have a very good team

[dropkickshanahans]

if Czechoslovakia didn't split up they would have a very good team

Agreed. They'd be up there in the talks with Canada and Russia.

[Lidstromboli]

Czech lineup doesn't look too bad

why is Michalek on the fourth line though?

[titanium2]

If the Soviet Union didn't split up then... I'm not sure if Team Russia would be any better actually.

[RusDRW]

))) Who would you add? Antropov?

[GMRwings1983]

I forgot Kopecky was on their team. f****** unbelievable.


It'll be nice seeing Jagr and Pallfy play, though. It's been a while.

[titanium2]

))) Who would you add? Antropov?

Uhh... Maybe.

Or Yevgeniy Pupkov. Best player in the world... at having an interesting sounding name. I don't even know if he's even playing this year.

Or Sergei Kolosov. The Russians would own with him on the back end. That's right.

No but maybe countries like Latvia and Belarus would produce better players if they had the kind of access and training that the Russian do. Who knows?

[RusDRW]

Or Sergei Kolosov. The Russians would own with him on the back end. That's right.

that would be the ultimate answer to "who would contain Ryan Malone in the crease when playing against Russia".

[seeinred]

I, for one, am looking forward to a good game. This is probably the most even first game matchup, on paper at least.

[Andrew]

Updated lines for Slovakia. Gaborik is in, Satan is out.

[titanium2]

Wow. Hope he doesn't get injured again.

[Z and D for the C]

lol Kopecky
