Gords really good.Glad Gord Miller is calling games. And not some Schlep from NHL Networks studio.
If he mentions the Hasek years one more f***en time...Gords really good.
You don't seem to be in the camp that regards him quite highly, lolIf he mentions the Hasek years one more f***en time...
We won 8 gold's in 4 years from 1998 to 2002. Juniors, skodas and best on best olympics. He keeps calling those the Hasek years. Then fans start believing that Czechs rode a hit goalie to the gold 8x.
Hasek played in one of those 8 tournaments.
Those were the hniclicka and cechmanek years.lol
Also .. him and Johnson never look at euro stats. Every player is identified by there CHL or AHL stats. Even if they are 30 and came to CHL when they were 18 and left back to Europe at 19.
And that is my annual Hasek years rant.
Yeah, but what about that Hasek? He was great.If he mentions the Hasek years one more f***en time...

Why don't you like Hasek? Best I ever saw.If he mentions the Hasek years one more f***en time...

He was amazing in 1998!Yeah, but what about that Hasek? He was great.
Literally just referenced the Hasek years...You don't seem to be in the camp that regards him quite highly, lol
That Hasek thing is your equivalent of My " Canada sucks on big ice" personal hair pullers.
Don't like the Czechia has 12 tbh .. Slovakia gets credit for half of those.
Again, best I've ever seen.He was amazing in 1998!
Me too... But I'm bias. My issues with calling it the Hasek years is that he didn't play in those tournaments. It'd be like if Canada won back to back U20 gold's, the world cup, the next two skodas and the best on best Olympics in 2026 and me calling it the Brodeur years.Again, best I've ever seen.
Re-introduced, as playoff rounds existed already in the past, including the very first editions.Gold Medals since a playoffs was introduced to the tournament in 1992:
Canada: 9
Sweden & Czechia: 6
Russia: 5
Finland: 4
Slovakia: 1
Fun facts:
Sweden won the first tournament in this format.
Czechoslovakia got a bronze in their only outing, beat Switzerland in the BMG.
Finland has only won gold medals in this format.
So Russia with 5 golds.List of IIHF World Championship medalists - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
So Russia with 5 golds.
Soviet Union with 22 golds. Is the Soviet Union taking part in the Worlds this year? I must have missed that
Czechia is taking part, as is Slovakia.Why don't you look at Czechia then? Is Czechoslovakia taking part in the worlds this year?
Czechia is taking part, as is Slovakia.
The Soviet Union hasn't been a part of the tournament for over 30 years now. Still a way to go for Russia, but both not there in 2024.
If your point is against Czechia getting all the credit for 12 golds, I agree with you. There's nothing funny about it though.
