Feb 15 2014 Sochi RUSSIA Czech Republic forward Tomas Plekanec 14 controls the puck as Switzerland goalie Jonas Hiller 1 looks on in a mens preliminary round ice hockey game during the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games at Bolshoy Ice Dome Jayne Kamin Oncea USA TODAY Sports
Welcome to the live blog for the men’s Olympic qualification game between the Czech Republic and Slovakia!
We already found out Slovenia will be face Sweden and Finland will be facing Russia in the quarter-finals and the winner of this game gets the United States in the next round.
The Czechs looked to have a problem generating offense in their round robin games while Slovakia looked like a team on a serious downswing through their games.
So come join myself and Chris Wassel as we discuss line combinations, big plays, and other observations from this game.
