Třinec did not let Byrtus go. Again..

Really? Thats strange decision.

Yes. And because of that, there is a possibility that he will go overseas. I'm not saying it will turn out that way, but it's an option.

True but if we’re talking “on paper” than there was some similarly talented teams.

The 2011 and 2013 teams were the exceptions. Not loaded on paper but played very well. They would compete for sure.

2013 we lost to Finland(who won Gold) in QF. Up 3-1 in 2nd period and Libor Šulak made a bad pinch and allowed Finland breakaway to make it 3-2 right before end of period! That was the momentum swing Finland needed and we lost 5-3 I think.
I’ll never forget it! Heartbreaking at the time lol. Also haven’t forgiven Šulak to this day lol

That win against the US with Mrazek in goal was amazing. Can't remember the year though. 2011?

I believe so.
That was still when both 4th and 5th place teams from each group played relegation round lol. And we finally placed higher by beating US. It was such a fun tournament.
