The players were very sorry that they did not follow the care on the ice, with which they surprised the Russians and in the end they completely lost their own hockey face. “Before the match, we said to ourselves what we should do before the match, but we could not have a good movement all the time or apply a quick approach to our opponents,” said the defender Radek Kučeřík.
The tactics seemed to work only in the first part. “I have to admit the strength of the opponent, but I didn’t see a major game difference until the middle of the match. A few of our breaks also came, but we couldn’t use them. Then the opponent took over. I have an opinion as to why this happened, but before judging immediately under the impression of a high defeat, I will keep it until analysis, “coach Karel Mlejnek thought.

Kučeřík was sorry that the opponent did not manage to disturb the game. “Compared to the Russians, the Americans penetrated the offensive zone faster, formed more and pushed constantly into the gate, which caused us trouble. When we had to open the game more after the goals we received in the second period, we didn’t even want to play purely in our bodies. If we go to the fights late, it will be whistled right away, “regretted the Czech defender, who had the highest ice time, when he spent almost twenty minutes on the ice.

A more realistic picture of the level of the national team at this year’s championship thus probably offers seven-goal debacles from the Swedes and the Americans more than a surprising scalp from Russia. At the same time, the Czechia also had a defensive strategy in the USA, and again hoped for goals from breaks or overtime. However, with his discipline, the opponent offered only one game in numerical advantage, but he mercilessly punished unnecessary fouls in the last third.
The weakening did not go to the Czech youth at the premiere, and also on Tuesday at noon local time, they both scored for three goals. “We said a tactic to stop the United States, but unfortunately it didn’t work. We can’t do so many fouls and we have to try to play more on the puck, “said forward Adam Raška. In five goals of the Americans, Zegras (2 + 3), drafted by Anaheim, who already dominates the Canadian scoring with a 5 + 5 balance, had his fingers.
