Marian Hossa is going to play in WCH!

[Mirinho]

lol Hossa played absolutely nothing in PLF and we all thought, that he had some serious injury (so nobody didn't criticise his poor achievement in PLF) and PLF is over and he is going to play in WCH

I thought, ATL should have priority.

watch out who is he going to play with
Gaborik, Demitra .. Chara on defense
he is not that stupid to miss that opportunity and win some medal
it can be sole opportunity in national team if Atlanta will go deeper into playoffs to come

what so funny about that? they want to play for their country there's nothing wrong with it.

i'm glad that they are willing to after tough season.

[State of Hockey]

Good to hear that Hossa will join Gaborik and Demitra to reunite the deadly top line for Slovakia. Playing for their country means a lot to those guys.

[Morandi11]

its good, he shouldn't end this season with those playoff games ...

and somehow i cant get rid of the feeling, this thread was meant as a cheap provocation form a czech in order to spoil hossa's standing in atlanta

[un_lavalois*]

Gaborik - Demitra - Hossa?

When is the tournement starting!?

[Lux Aurumque*]

I guess Bondra won't be on the team. He'll probably retire

yes. but my favorite goal from olympics is hossa's - from salt lake
http://slovakfan.wz.cz/Hossa.mpg it was on 7:1 for slovakia against france...
we played preliminary round with 13 players and we wasn't able to get over germany... because we hoped that we can beat them with few players to get reinforcement from NHL for olympic tournament(there was not NHL break for preliminary games in this year)
slovak had tactics nothing or everything. nothing happend but anyway. who was able to came to fight for honour of their country came and beat everything who came to the way. i remember players like palffy bondra hossa satan visnovsky etc. in that game...
in this same year there was also world championship and every avaliable slovak from NHL came to prove slovakia belong to the top hockey nations
there is gold medal GWG scored by player u will recognize for sure

[slovakfan*]

oh... what a GOAL by "Super Marian Brothers"

gaborik made look foolish defenceman sprint over whole rink and TIC TAC TOE Passing between Hossa and Gaborik
gaborik scored...

[slovakfan*]

he thought play off
but his post is just ridiculous effort to make fans unhappy with hossa - best thrashers player because he lost form. it is typical ill rivality between czechs and slovaks. he tried to hide his smallness behind hossa's format...

Right right.
Thanks.
I figured it might be playoffs, but I couldnt be sure.

And yeah.I agree that, Hossa was just cooling down after a great first half of a season.

[pld459666]

Not to throw fuel on the fire at all, but there was a report after the Rangers swept the Thrashers that Hossa was going to have shoulder surgery

did he postpone that for the honor of representing his country?

[Lux Aurumque*]

Turns out that the report was false.

[Heatley4Hart*]

There was nothing wrong with the guy. It was just that time of the year again when the Stanley Cup playoffs approach.
