hckošice 13,127 Posted April 19, 2019 Author #62 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Also already 3 NHLers confirmed their participation at the Worlds for including the 23 years old German hockey super star Leon Draisaitl from Edmonton. The other 2 players that accepted the invitations are the defencer Korbinian Holzer from Anaheim and the forward Dominik Kahun from Chicago. The coaches are still waiting for the answers from forwards Nico Sturm from Minnesota and Tobias Rieder from Edmonton From SVK view Tomáš Tatár arrived today to Slovakia he, Jaroš, Pánik and Sekera will all join the team after the Easter weekend and the return of the team from the 2 test matches in Austria. We are still waiting for the answer from Erik Černák, the Tampa Bay defencer will have to pass in the next hours the exit medical tests, hopefully everything will be ok. The bad news is Marko Daňo was called by Winnipeg to help the Jets in the Stanley Cup play-offs after his Manitoba finished the season in AHL out of the Play-Offs.

phelps 6,527 Posted April 19, 2019 #63 Share Posted April 19, 2019 well, it looks that we're going to have a high caliber tournament, after all (which is not such good news for the poor Italian team, now risking more and more to be humiliated by the powerhouses of the game )... I can't wait for the worlds to start...I think this year I'm gonna watch more IIHF hockey than NHL's in the next few weeks (which is not always the case for me)...
