On the paper we would be (even though Kopitar is pretty far ahead of the 2nd best player in the qual (I guess that would be Frans Nielsen))

We have a huge advantage in Frederik Andersen who I believe is by pretty far the best goalie in the tournament, but it will still be tough. Both Slovenia and Belarus have good teams and sadly I never feel sure when our teams are the favourites.

only 1 chinese was in the roster today tough..Rudi Ying in the 4th line played 5 minutes and 18 seconds

[hckošice 15,811]

some changes from last few days in the rosters..

 

Corey Perry replaced Jeff Carter in Team

 

In team after the Radko Gudas injury the team selected Tomáš Kundrátek from Slovan Bratislava. In SVK nowadays you can read only how The coach of Slovan wasn´t very happy by the fact the club will miss during the whole september their best defencemen, especially with all injuries the team has actually, at least Jeglič returned from Slovenian NT after succesful olympic qualification back to the team...meanwhile but for Kundrátek it´s a incredible moment of his career to be selected for such event. I´m very happy for him

...also in the czech team we have 2 other changes also among the forwards Roman Červenka and Michal Birner replaced injured duo Tomáš Hertl and David Krejčí.

 

In the 3rd Goalie Robin Lehner is replaced by Jhonas Enroth, Defencer Niklas Kronwall was replaced by Hampus Lindholm and forwards Henrik Zetterberg and Alexander Steen by Mickael Backlund and Rickard Rakell because of injury as well.

 

In team North America Vincent Trocheck replaced the injured forward Sean Monahan.
