NHL & other Ice Hockey

Dunno if Dado is still checkin in here, but Flyers had another good win 5-1 and are 10-4-1 at the moment.

Ducks are currently playing 2-2 end of 2nd.. F***ing hope they get the win, valuable for us any win is at the moment.

F***ing shootout

NHL sucks, Slovan Bratislava rullez

What has happen to Slovak hockey?

You guys use to produce good forwards who were very skillful and had a eye for goal but it seems your talent has dried up in the last 5 years

it is not about dried up, our hockey federetaion management are just fu**ing communists...same as footbal btw , but we still has lot of players with big potential espetially young generation between 18-20 is showing nice progress...also money is problem, we are little country  our goverment sucks in helping and our federation is just bunch of idiots...and our trainers are not much better...we need international trainers desperately...but still right now our hockey is going to sh***s....but still I think there is some light in the end of tunnel(or better I hope)

Well you guys had a very good showing at the u-20 last year in Ottawa, I remember Tatar really having an impressive tournament. I also like to ask why do so many Slovaks from 16-20 come over to Canada to play in the CHL?

well, because junior leagues in canada are much better than ours...our good young player can play in our senior league and those who are not good enough often going to try play in Canada.
And yes last year under 20 Team performed very well but this year they are stronger, because there are some very talented outstanding ones like Gasparovic or Hudacek + core of last year team can play as well and  2 or 3 defencemen  are playing senior league...the biggest problem seems to be in goalie this year since Janus was beast last year, but we expect  that we should make it to quaterfinals without problems, unlike last year

I see, I know many people believe that it is a issue in the Czech Rep that too many of their good u20 players come over to Canada which hurts the quality of their youth/senior league which hurt the development of those players who decide to stay in the Czech Rep rather than come across the Atlantic to play in the CHL.

Well that is good to hear you expect to have a good competitive team for the U20 which are being held in Canada once again.

What are your views on the Olympics coming up and the quality of the Slovak team your going to ice? 

LA Kings can suck a dick.

I better dont have any expectation....Fact is we do no have many players in NHL now and another is that i didnt see our national team play with heart for couple of last years...It seem to me like they come to national team like tourist for a trip....hate it...Trully i would rather see on the Olympics  players from our league that dont have quality of NHL o KHL players but they will fight with everything they have, even if we loose every match than players i know wont push themeselves to the limit and it is cleare those will be there since they play better leagues....well butlast olympics we won every match in main group but lost quater finals so now maybe we loose every match in main group and pass through quater finals 

My sister is in New York for the week and is going to see New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden tonight - lucky buggar !!  would love to see that

Good on her! I'm seeing 1 or 2 games here on the west coast in my Christmas break, can't wait.

The no goal call against Detroit tonight was the worst Ive seen for a few seasons. Cost us the game.

We got every thing here mate We got an NFL/College Football thread, there was a thread for the MLB playoffs, and just had an NBA thread started. Even have a College Quidditch thread

Ducks won a closey tonight, led 2-1 with 18 seconds to go, when they let in a tying goal. Had to take it to shoot-out where they finally got the points. Flyers had a loss, were losing 5-2 but almost made a miraculous comeback only to lose 5-4 in the end.

FFS!

Detroit are 4th in their division, and 12th in the conference. How about that...

Isn't it fantastic?

Losing Hossa, Samulsson, Hudler and a hurt Franzen was going to hurt the team no matter what though I am surprised they are doing "out of the playoff bad"
