Yeah, its kind of hard to defend with 1 in enthusiasm :D I am afraid friendlies are not very useful except for choosing a roster. It seems like Hudgins>Gaudreault according to game engine

Ok guys, the schedule is out. I think we are in a harder of the two groups. Schedule is favorable though. We are not a favorites to make it into top 4 of our group and the first game will be most important one by a mile.

Thats why we will need perfect game shape. We start from same enthusiasm so thats where we can win/lose a game.
I would love for everyone with current NT player (and no NT prospect) to train GS this week.

And please go to the off-site and tell me how would you plan out the first stage of World Cup and why

Ok, a convincing win. Not bad, but cant judge whether PD was good since we have no comparison.

All games in our group were with equal effort so cant deduct anything from it.

Denny Hall has been playing shitload of minutes last couple of weeks. I messaged his manager to get an explanation.

And why the hell am I leading a monologue here? Nobody is pitching in their thoughts about monday's game, were our defense ratings so high only because of GDP or we are really that strong on this side of the court, nobody trying to figure out how to beat Czechs and working on keeping GS advantage we currently have over them (if that dissapears we are screwed).

Denny was/is also for sale recently. Someone in the mix should pick him up.

Our ratings are pretty solid, higher than expected to be honest. I am pretty sure that it is related to GDP but don't have an explanation otherwise.

I don't understand this one bit, but we might have the best defensive ratings in BB. Last season our defensive and overall ratings (neutral court, non-OT, 0/0 GDP or 1/1 GDP correct) were better than #1 ranked China, #2 ranked Poland, # 3 ranked Slovakia, #4 ranked Czech. Seriously. In no way do I think we're actually better than China and Poland, or more than equal to almost a dozen other teams, but for some reason our ratings were the absolute best. GS probably.

GDP helps a lot though. Our GS this week (especially on defensive players) was much better than in our earlier scrims too IIRC.

I'll wait for GS update to comment on Czech game. I'll have no better idea than you or others, though. Czech is really good. We're also good, but maybe not as good. I dunno.

We are not as good. Lets not kid ourselves. We can win though with good preparations and some luck. If that happens then we can do something big this season. Yeah, we do good on defense. But last seasons' rating by France were out of this world and we cant come close to that so I wonder what the hell happened there? What I am afraid is that we have no room for error. We need 12x proficient in order to try beating those teams and them having bad GS. With equal GS/enth they have more quality although perfect GDP can negate that.

France had home court all last season. We'd have had better pure ratings than every country on neutral.

Agreed. There's no separation between many teams. There's no room for error and we essentially need a bunch of luck to win a bunch of (hypothetical) 50/50 games.

We need 12x proficient in order to try beating those teams and them having bad GS.
A bit extreme.

With equal GS/enth they have more quality
This is the question. We probably have 10-11 elite guys and must rely on GS for the extra oomph.

Point 1: True, I was still impressed, especially with their offense for which home court isnt big of a factor.
Point 2: Yeah, on top level room for error is extremely small. We will have to be really smart to achieve something
Point 3: I am not sure if thats extreme. Take Czechs-France as an example, and take a look at their GS. Its not very good. Now take a look at our GS. Even at current state (this weeks GS) it would be a 50/50 game, especially if that game was mutual TIE. If they have same preparation as we do....... we are not the favorites at all. Getting anything more than 2 wins with teams who qualified for next round will be incredible success. 2 wins I will be satisfied with. Anything less, I will be dissapointed.
Point 4: Well, I think Stronks, Hudgins (questionable), Sammons are elite (as in getting into top 15 of almost every country out there). Rest are fine for bordeline top 10-15 team in the world. Can we win some games with that roster? Sure, but I would advise against trying to chase me with pitchforks if we dont make it into the semis.
