"The last two years I’ve been the only Czech here by myself so it’s good to have two guys. I’m very excited to be able to talk every once in a while in Czech to someone. Sometimes it was hard when I called home and I tried to talk Czech with my mom. She would ask me if I was sleeping because I talked like I couldn’t speak Czech anymore."

From Jakub Voracek's catching up with the Flyers. He's very excited about Michal Neuvirth and Radko Gudas being part of the team.

And while we're talking Czechs, Dave Hakstol did fly out to the Czech Republic to meet Voracek, something the forward was very grateful for.

Also: he compared captaining the Czech team at the Worlds in Prague to that awesome Flyers/Penguins 2012 playoff series, if that says anything about his level of dedication not just to his home country, but Philly, too.
