Czech teammates Vladar and Klapka reunite at world championship
Czech Republic teammates Dan Vladar and Adam Klapka are reunited at the IIHF World Championship, but their usual trash-talking in English is now understood by everyone. This changes their locker room dynamic. The Calgary Flames players are representing their home country, enjoying the camaraderie and the ability to speak Czech freely. Vladar expressed excitement about playing for the Czech Republic after missing previous opportunities. Vladar and Klapka are happy to be playing together, having spent much of the past season as teammates. The IIHF World Championship provides a chance for them to represent their country after the Flames did not make the playoffs.
