blocker Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 As some of you know, Petr Klima brought some kids over from the Czech Republic to the US. I'm going to watch them play this weekend. Should be interesting and fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blocker Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Klima's team had kids from the Czech Republic, Slovakia and two or three Michiganders. Some things never change. North American players look for a chance to hit somebody, while the kids from Europe try to finise. It's not a matter of courage, it's just a different way hockey is played. Another constant is that the Europeans are more reserved. There is a lot less chatter from their bench. These styles of play are not as distinct as in the past. But, even if I couldn't see the logos on the jerseys, I could tell which group came from which side of the ocean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
