BEST CZECH PLAYER is TEARING UP the AHL! Jiri Kulich is a SAVAGE! | NHL | IIHF Hockey | Judd’z Budz

Last like preliminary thing I want to bring uh to your attention three guys who we might not talk about too much because they’re not necessarily like prospects about to be drafted um and we’ll dive into a lot of those but there’s three players to start this tournament that have absolutely just

Impressed me and I say impressed me in the sense that like I didn’t I wasn’t expecting to be impressed by them this early and starting with well two slovo in Adam uh gun gajon the goal tender who plays uh out of the Green Bay gamblers I’m pretty sure in the USHL golender for

Slovakia um and Samuel hzc dude they have been absolutely insane to start uh this tournament and I have one more name on czechia but let’s start with those two I mean thought thoughts on both of those guys obviously the goenda been up two nothing or 2-1 if he

Didn’t make those two saves in the third yeah I mean those are two players on two very fun players on a very fun team like the last couple years lak’s had a major like push just in terms of like the type of prospects they’re generating um Samuel

Hanzik Nashville or was it Calgary I can’t remember who we got drafted Calgary I think it was Calgary right yeah Calgary uh just came onto the scene last year the WHL for Vancouver and tore it up then he got hurt I think right after the world juniors um maybe right

Before I can’t remember but he is a he’s huge he moves really well he can play set he can play wig he’s got a phenomenal shot tons of skill so no surprise really that he’s kind of popping off here and again that Slovakia team is just so fun to watch they’ve got

Our boy cervac Petroski is playing well but Adam gion was the story of Slovakia last year I mean he almost single-handedly won them that game against Canada he’s just come up with save after save when they needed him um so not all that surprised that they’ve

Played as well as they have they really took a czechia in game one um and those two really stepped up big time obviously another kid for Slovakia that I’ve Loved for them uh Philip masar the Canadians draft pick uh last first round two years ago he’s been phenomenal he

Was legitimately unbelievable in the first game against jaia um the best of the tournament so far like that that that started off with a bang dude and honestly I was up the whole night before watching boxing at 2 a.m. cuz it was in ja so I didn’t even sleep I was like I

Hope this game’s not boring I’m going to fall asleep and I was like holy yeah nope I’m up and I ain’t going to bed I ain’t going to bed till later today because this game was unbelievable yeah I mean and with um with just because I mentioned him I

Know he wasn’t one of these three but Philip masar that pass he made to uh Petroski on the first petrovsky goal both goals in that game were slapshot one timers my God he’s nasty but like perfectly weighted SAU pass over two sticks right on petros’s tape

Pki just hammers at home um he’s been unbelievable Slovakia is so fun like they’ve got this mix of like you’ve got a couple undersized guys who absolutely fly high motor but like skill the match and they play hard then you’ve got the big boys like hanzik like that’s such a

Fun hockey team um and again I was wondering what they would do this tournament you know they’ve lost a couple of the big dogs that now playing either in the NHL or um or like yeah they are playing in the NHL at this point but Adam gion huge for them Sam

Hanek Beast um and they’ve got a couple I think rep six’s been playing really well um the whole team is nasty yeah they’ve just got a really fun high octane offense team um and they are kind of like the team you don’t want to end up playing in like the the first metal

Round or whatever like just because they can play with any team here they’re not necessarily one of the favorites or whatever but um they are miserable to play against and they can again they can like maybe not match up completely to like teams like USA and Canada but

They’re more than they’re more than capable of showing up on the day and beating you so um just another just a really fun fun team like I think last year they’re probably coming to the tournament like the tournament sweetheart everyone wants to see Slovakia do well anytime like of country

Has a push like a smaller country has a push where like they’re generating all these prospects and they’re playing really fun hockey like I think that’s always exciting just so the world juniors especially now that Russia can’t take part um the more teams that really like can play outside of like Canada USA

Sweden that’s always good so I love Slovakia they’ve got a ton of players who I have a lot of time for so no surprise that they’ve uh started the turnup as well although I don’t know if I actually would have seen them kicking the out of czechia coming no I

Thought it be way Clos of a game but second period on they were just in total control um and again I doged uncheck you a little bit day one cuz I was just getting so pumped and I was like all right here we go Slovakia and then obviously supporting our boy patosi but

Another player who today and who didn’t look that like he didn’t look terrible in the in the loss to Slovakia but today really just was like I’m just going to lead the charge and absolutely dummy Norway was uh the New York Rangers Prospect Yuri kulich man he is nasty and

He looks like a man amongst boys Sab Prospect yeah he sorry sorry Sab Prospect oh right he’s playing in Rochester right and he’s lighting he lit up the AHL last year he’s doing it again this year like he was a guy who I definitely would have qualified as like

One of the Steals on draft day because he was playing he was a little bit I mean he was pretty well known but he was playing in the slovan league for n or Not N who is he PR for oh can’t remember maybe it wasn’t whatever um but he has an absolute

Cannon he is a prick to play against he’s come a long way just in terms of like a 200 foot game but like for me he was one of the guys that I had kind of like on that pre-tournament like All-Star team or whatever like I

Was like that’s one of the guys that if czechia does anything he’s going to be one of the leading scorers just because of all the ice time he gets I mean he plays like 24 25 minutes a game as a forward already um played really well

Last year no surprise that he’s got that was it hattrick today along with Edward Shala who looked unb he was five points today yeah um so they desperately needed that win today obviously but like those big dogs showed up especially unbelievable game one pretty much right in

The beginning of the game uh Adam URC he’s out for the tournament with an injury last year his brother same thing game one had that major injury that ended his tourament and then missed a lot of time leading up to a draft day or uh not draft day because he got draft

The year before but um just a bummer it’s crazy it’s like the two brothers got hurt on day one like one after the other so that’s n they’re gonna need a couple guys to step up and uh kulich and uh shal definitely uh definitely did today for them
