Jan Hrdina. Holy Czechs.

Yep, Milan Kraft and Pistol Pete Sykora too.

I think the greatest forum username I ever saw was a guy who had the handle Don'tCryforMeJanHrdina...

back in the day, I can remember fights breaking out amongst kids on how to say his name (while playing topsies) ... usually because the correct pronounciation involved spitting in the other kids faces

Wait...how is Michael Neuvirth off the roster? He's better than Pavelec, let alone the two KHL guys.

 

[Cobiemonster]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Czech's can make a deep run - I really like their team, especially up front - their issue might be Pavelec in net though

No Hasek?

He's too ol-


ummmm



weird.

Last I saw of him he was playing forward and not goalie

 

[jstewismybastardson]

lol at the idea that Petr Nedved is going to the Olympics to get signed sticks of every canadian hockey player

Any chance of a Veronika Varekova sighting?

/Nedved's ex-wife so unlikely
//Just one more thing he screwed up

Vrbata was a major snub too

Maybe Hudler can't spell intense?

Terry Jones ‏@sunterryjones

How about a Jiri Hudler for Ales Hemsky trade. Hemsky on Czech Olympic team Hudler not so Flames would have to throw in a draft pick.

You know when Oilers shill Terry Jones is mocking taking Hemsky over Hudler that it was a major snub.

Also, no Jakub Kindl? That guy reads the play like a 10 year veteran.

Maybe he fell through one of the Nooks and crannies.

I figure if a 42 year old Petr Nedved can be on the Czech Republic team, Canada should make room for a 48 year old Mario Lemieux.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Wow, Hudler should be on this roster? Nedved at 42 years old? Lol seriously.

Chelios for the Yanks? I hear that Sochi has a few hotel rooms that are brand new.
