Will Czechs be champs?
I’m not Czech or anything, but since there seems to be a few posts about possible lineups for the World Cup, I thought I might take a chance at speculating who could possibly be on the Czech Republic’s rosterCenters
Radek Bonk
Robert Reichel
Martin Straka
Robert Lang
Left Wing
Patrick Elias
Petr Sykora ( Anaheim)
Martin Rucinsky
Vaclav Varada
Right Wing
Jaromir Jagr
Milan Hejduk
Martin Havlat
Ales Hemsky
others: Josef Vacicek, Jan Bulis, Radek Dvorak, Jan Hrdina
Defense
Jiri Fischer
Tomas Kaberle
Roman Hamrlik
Pavel Kubina
Karel Rachunek
Rostislav Kesla
Martin Skoula
Goalies
Martin Prusek
Tomas Vokoun
Roman Turek
* Hasek could be the starter, but it’s not sure what he will do after this season. HE might play, but in case he doesn’t there should be the three goalies*
As usual the Czechs will be a formidable adversary to teams like Canada and the US. If Hasek plays and plays like he can, then the Czechs could cause an upset and possibly win the World Cup. Otherwise, some bright spots on defense ( Kesla, Fischer, Kaberle) but not as strong as Canada or the US.
