VLADAR’S STRONG PLAY HELPS CZECH REPUBLIC DOWN WEST
by David Brien
NORTH SYDNEY, N.S. – West had a 34-18 advantage in shots on goal, but the Czech Republic had the advantage where it counts, scoring a 5-2 win over the Canadian side Tuesday at the 2014 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge.
Czech goaltender Daniel Vladar was the story, finishing with 32 saves. He was at his best over the final 40 minutes; West outshot the Czechs 26-9 in periods two and three.
The Europeans’ 3-1 lead after the first period turned out to be too much for West; the Czechs scored three times on their first seven shots for a two-goal lead they would not relinquish.
Daniel Krenzelok opened the scoring on the Czechs’ very first shot, converting on a power play just 52 seconds in, and Filip Dvorak and David Kase had the other goals in first 20 minutes.
Jayden Halbgewachs (Emerald Park, Sask./Regina, SMAAAHL) was the lone scorer for West in the opening period.
Halbgewachs’ goal was a memorable one, snapping a wrist shot over Vladar’s glove after taking a beautiful cross-ice pass from Lane Pederson (Saskatoon, Sask./Saskatoon Blazers, SMAAAHL).
Kase netted the lone goal of the second period, sending the Czechs to the intermission with their biggest lead of the game at 4-1, and Filip Chlapik scored with the man advantage just past the midway point of the third period to make it 5-1.
Keegan Kolesar (Winnipeg, Man./Seattle, WHL) scored a power play goal of his own a minute-and-a-half after Chlapik’s goal when a Czech defender couldn’t clear away an in-crease rebound.
Other than Kase, Simon Stransky was the only skater to record more than one point; he finished with two assists.
While the West offence struggled to set up in the offensive zone, its defense was solid, blocking countless shots and holding the talented Czechs under 20 shots on goal.
West will try again for its first win when it takes on unbeaten Sweden in a New Year’s Day matinee (2 p.m. AT) in North Sydney, while the Czech Republic tries to keep pace with the leaders atop Group A, taking on Sweden on Wednesday night (7 p.m. AT) at the Emera Centre Northside.
LE BRIO DE VLADAR PERMET AUX TCHÈQUES DE COULER L’OUEST
par David Brien
NORTH SYDNEY, N.-É. – L’Ouest a dominé 34-18 dans la colonne des tirs au but, mais la République tchèque a eu le dessus là où ça compte, l’emportant 5-2 au Défi mondial de hockey des moins de 17 ans 2014.
Le cerbère tchèque Daniel Vladar a été l’histoire du match, repoussant 32 rondelles. Il a été à son meilleur au cours des 40 dernières minutes, alors que l’Ouest a dominé les Tchèques de 26 tirs contre 9.
L’Ouest n’a pu combler la priorité de 3-1 de la formation européenne après le premier vingt. La République tchèque a inscrit trois filets sur les sept premiers tirs pour prendre une avance qu’elle n’a jamais laissé filer.
Daniel Krenzelok a ouvert la marque sur le tout premier tir des Tchèques lors d’un jeu de puissance après seulement 52 secondes et Filip Dvorak et David Kase ont inscrit les autres buts de leur équipe au cours du premier tiers.
Jayden Halbgewachs (Emerald Park, Sask./Regina, SMAAAHL) a été l’unique buteur de l’Ouest avant le premier entracte.
Ce but sera difficile à oublier. Il a décoché un tir des poignets par-dessus la mitaine de Vladar après avoir accepté une superbe passe latérale de Lane Pederson (Saskatoon, Sask./Blazers de Saskatoon, SMAAAHL).
Kase a inscrit l’unique filet de la deuxième période, permettant aux Tchèques de retraiter au vestiaire avec leur plus grande avance de la rencontre, menant 4-1. Filip Chlapik a ensuite enfilé l’aiguille sur un jeu de puissance tout juste après la moitié du troisième tiers, portant l’avance à 5-1.
Keegan Kolesar (Winnipeg, Man./Seattle, WHL) a fait vibrer les cordages sur un jeu de puissance une minute et demie après le but de Chlapik alors qu’un défenseur tchèque n’a pu dégager un retour dans l’enclave.
Outre Kase, Simon Stransky a été l’unique patineur à enregistrer plus d’un point, cumulant deux aides.
Même si l’Ouest a eu de la difficulté à s’organiser en zone offensive, sa défensive a brillé, bloquant un nombre incalculable de tirs et limitant les talentueux joueurs tchèques à moins de 20 tirs au but.
L’Ouest visera encore un premier gain face aux Suédois, invaincus jusqu’ici, en après-midi au jour de l’An (14 h HA) à North Sydney. La République tchèque tentera de garder le rythme avec les meneurs du groupe A dans un affrontement face à la Suède mercredi soir (19 h HA), à l’Emera Centre Northside.
