    I saw him play last year against Streatham, I am not sure it’s translated that well to Ice Hockey I think he let in about 8 goals!

    Oh fuck I live in Oxford and meant to go see a Stars game with Cech playing. Hope I haven’t missed the chance.

      sheffield is a bit far, but coventry are in the same league, I live in northamptonshire and go there to watch the giants play. MK may get promoted potentially but dropped out of the league, but I went there too, so I’d like them to get promoted again just so I can watch giants play in more than one place

        There isn’t promotion and relegation in the EIHL. It’s a franchise league.

    Think Cech is severely underrated and left out when it comes to all time goalkeeper lists(in football lol).

    I think pre-helmet Cech at Chelsea was arguably the best stretch of goal-keeping the world has ever seen. Even post helmet he pulled out games like the CL final against Bayern at Bayern where he was an absolute colossus between the sticks.

    Is is just because Chelsea of that period is so hated that he doesn’t seem to get his due?

      A disproportionate amount of the praise for that Chelsea team goes to Terry. Even though he wasn’t even the best defender on that team.

      His near post was basically a wide open door at Arsenal, and he was atrocious at penalties. His reflexes were pretty poor, so it genuinely boggles my mind he would be employed as an ice hockey goalie!? His ass ain’t no fine wine, and those reflexes won’t have improved.

        he was atrocious at penalties.

        For one thing who judges a GK on pens anyway? For another, Cech is literally famous for being great at penalties.

        Go re-watch that CL final I talked about. He saves one in normal time and a couple in the shootout, as well as diving the right way every. single. time.

    I don’t know why, but I expected him to wear the goal keeping headgear in the picture.
