A real fair play match

I wanna a discussion about goaltenders. Quite many in NHL. Who would you guys choose or who do you think Czech coach will choose for the Olympic tournament? 

 

Lukáš Dostal - Anaheim (already chosen) 

 

Karel Vejmelka - Utah

Vítek Vaněček - Utah

Jakub Dobeš - Montreal

Daniel Vladař - Philadelphia 

David Rittich - NY Islanders 

Petr Mrázek - Anaheim 

 

Plus some other possibilities, such as Michal Postava (AHL) or Simon Hrubec (Swiss League). I think the goaltenders competition is quite high. 

 

As next 2 goalkeepers, I would choose Karel Vejmelka and Jakub Dobeš. How about you guys?

Quite a guest landed today in Slovakia

 

The great one visited the country for the first time

 

 

🇨🇦 Wayne Gretzky prvýkrát na Slovensku

👀 Prirodzene budí obdiv a veľký záujem. Na stretnutie s ním prišli aj kapitán a tréner HC Slovan Bratislava, ale aj Marián Gaborík pic.twitter.com/fIgScADb6Y

Dostal, Vejmelka and Vladar (if he plays enough in the nhl, otherwise it might be better someone like Hrubec)

2 more Slovaks scored their first carrers NHL goals last days.

 

DD became the 77th  to score an NHL goal.

Dalibor Dvorský with his trademark one timer scored his first NHL goal in his 5th NHL careers game

 

 

Congratulations Dalibor Dvorsky on your first career NHL goal. Many more to come. #stlblues pic.twitter.com/QqXd3cOk4J
