yeah, I saw during the Extraliga final they've taken the bad attitude of the Italian networks to put announcements on the screen...they already have the countdown to the Worlds since a few days...

and since I can watch Czech, Slovak, German, Austrian and Swiss TV, I guess I won't miss any match I want not to miss...

 

p.s. about the online streaming, here in Italy we don't have almost any tv coverage (probably only the semis and the final, but it's not official yet), but at least we have all the 64 games working on the IIHF Youtube channels...so, I'm OK also with that...

 

p.p.s. earlier today I watched Zdeno Chara's Boston Bruins in the amazing game #7 of the NHL playoffs round #1 against Toronto...one of the best matches of the playoffs so far...

We lost yesterday the last test match before the WCh after a let say some 40% effort from the team, players clearly trying to not get injured and key guys only on the bench after 1st period to France.

but well, in overall quite well preparation from our guys, after two debacles in Sweden in the first week came then in the next weeks 6 winning matches streak in a row (2x in Germany, 2x against Latvia at home, win against S. Korea and win in the first match against France with clearly the best performance of all preparation periods, then as said the lost 2-3 yesterday, so the guys showed that we can have hopes for a successful fight for the quarterfinals this year, which remains our main goal.

 

The final roster flying to Denmark will be known in the next few hours

 

The teams agreed also yesterday to trains after the match (however the result will be) the penalty shoot-outs, and we had the possibility to see thisbeautiful jewel from Bakoš
