The Czechs and the Swiss are two teams that play fundamentally ridiculous hockey. One side plays balls-out, no half-measures cocaine and octane flowing kind of hockey, and the other is no-frills, fundamentals only kind of hockey that requires a good command of system rather than individual brilliance, though some does exist on Switzerland’s roster. What resulted?
A kinda slow, but ultimately fast and kinda fun game where both sides’ stars got a chance to do all sorts of crazy stuff for their national team.
Game Notes:
- International Dostal (in which Czech Republic’s starting goaltender, Lukas Dostal, becomes inexplicably and impossibly terrible at goaltending) stayed home today and man wasn’t that a sight.
