Plekanec to strengthen MS Bohemia. Rose wants to play with Jágr

Prague - Czech hockey national team in Saturday's semifinal World Cup against Canada strengthens striker Tomas Plekanec . Support Montreal is on the way to Prague.

"He's a player with whom I was waiting. He will arrive this afternoon and I want him to go into the game tomorrow," said coach Vladimir Ruzicka national selection after Friday's practice.

Do touchline to Jagr

Montreal attacker waits after arriving in the Czech Republic only a short acclimatization as a team before tomorrow's semi Today's Czech training is planned and misses tomorrow's skate team already canceled. "It will be hard for him, but it's a player who can help us," said Ruzicka.

Czech coach said he Plekanec ranks second in formation to Jaromir Jagr. At this point he still played Jan Smith, who with Jagr in a duel with Finland arranged for four of the five Czech goals.

"I'm thinking about it, he will play center with Jagr, but still discuss it. They touchline must be balanced," Ruzicka said. Who with this pair will play on the left wing is not yet clear.

Plekanec waiting for Quarterfinal

The possibility that the Plekanec connected to representation, it was speculated ever since Montreal lost in the second round playoff NHL with Tampa. That's why coach Vladimir Ruzicka become full last vacancy on the Czech roster.

Given that the players brought in Kladno club ended the season on Wednesday night European time, could Plekanec to Prague arrive earlier. In Montreal, he is waiting to see if Czech hockey players manage quarterfinal duel against Finland.

Sorry Thajec.Too strong.

Sorry Thajec.Too strong.

Semifinal result CZECH - CANADA  0:2

Honestly Canadian team was a little better in this match. Especially in the second part of the first period and 2nd. periods. Especially combinatorial game, skating and effort put goal. 

 We were a bit annoyed unrecognized force a regular goal, but honestly Canadian team had more chances sighting bars and more of the game.

Good luck for Canada team in finals and for our guys in battle for bronze medal.

[gimmesum]

Fucking Jagr is amazing.He has been good for 3 decades.lol

 

Yeah vastly underrated player too with Pittsburgh I used to think he was more dominant than Mario when he wanted to be.

2nd semifinal result:

 

USA- RUSSIA  0:4

 

Nice hockey with fast skating and playing style. With regard to the development of the game until quite harsh result for the USA.

[THAJEC]

CZECH-USA 0:3

 

The US team was the better in match for 3rd place. Players had better movement, a combination of greater pressure on the opponent's goal and the greater efficiency of shooting.

USA takes bronze medals.

CZECH potato medal.
Without shooting a goal  team can not win.

Sorry buddy.

It was a very poor performance of our team last game. For this performance, without shooting   goals in the last two matches it is not possible to take medals. Is it a realistic look.

J.Holeček about the scandal Russians buckle when someone is better

 

Prague - shame and scandal ended with performances of the Russian national team at the World Championships in Prague. Sborno lost in the finals of the ice hockey players in Canada clearly 1: 6, and most players could not bear the cruel slaughter.

Most likely, at the suggestion of Captain Ilya Koval Russians left in cabs before the O2 arena was heard O Canada. According to former Czechoslovak representative George Hole none would such gamesmanship not afford.

"It's just not done. We also lost many times, finished without a medal, but we did not stay on the ice and appreciate opponent, who was just better, it never happened. It's incomprehensible," said the famous goalie 

Similarly, while the Russians kept five years ago in Cologne, Germany. After the final defeat of the Czech Republic removed all players except the Star Alexander Ovechkin silver medal from his neck.

"I guess it is kind of a national trait that can not bear the defeat, that buckle when someone better. Maybe it has to do with their politics. They are the biggest, the best, they want to control everything. And if this fails, they can give here frustration like this show, "said Holecek.

Ovechkin while yesterday was among those on the ice after losing a match they wanted to stay.

That was the main actor in the scandal just Kovalchuk, Hole "He is such a controversy. What is she, has already proven during the championship. When he was reclassified because of a tragic game of the fourth formation, completely sabotaged it. I condemn such behavior, the captain has to lead by example and drag the team," assessed the performance leader Sborno.

"The Soviets did not behave like that"

Although Hole

"At that time, the Soviets also used to winning, they kind of team that they were not the NHL could not measure it. Yet when they lost, never did no such thing. form other day of mourning simply never choose, "he reminisced Hole

"Perhaps such Jaku

Gold medals are, according to him absolutely in good hands. Crosby et al. in the Czech Republic showed an amazing ride. "From the first match showed that they're going after the title. It was no problem. They were strong in personal duels, skated well, which at the Canadian withdrawals in the past, it was not a common thing. In fact they nor the Russians could not compete," said J.Holeček
