GDT: Gold Medal game - Swiss vs Česko

[jcbio11]

3rd final lost in a row is tough

But yeah, the context of this one playing against Czechia at home wasn't good anyway lol

You guys hung in there and made the Czechs fight for it. Great stuff. Big props.

Plus your players were very gracious and respectful, none of that taking the silver medal off.

Your team's going to be deadly next year at home and will definitely do some damage.

 

[Goose The Cat]

At least he is the MVP lol

That is true. He's really good.

 

[BruinLVGA]

You guys were amazing! I said from the start, I would've been happy if you won.

Same here. I was probably the first to congratulate the Czech Republic on these forums and I did mean it. I am glad that if it wasn‘t us, it was you guys to win gold.

 

[JoVel]

Anything is better than Oh Canada and song about Jose that he can't see,lol

Based on my sports watching history, the top 3 national anthems are from France, Germany and Italy.

 

[Edenjung]

Congrats to the czech republic.
You guys deserve this so much.

Have fun.
And drink some Pilsner Urquell more ^^

Also good job Switzerland. You did your best.
And kept it close. You won silver today.

Pasta makes the difference. Best player there.

Impressive trophy case for Palat:

2 x Stanley Cup
1 x Calder Cup
1 x WHC Gold Medal

We lost Staropramen

So Pilzner Urqell, Kozel, Czechvar, Czechvar dark and they also have Stone house which is brewed in Ontario but 100% authentic. Kozel Dark is good but low in ABV.

I'd throw in Radegast czerny and Radegast Ratan as well as Zlaty Bazant, though I'm not sure if the latter is Slovakian.

Can any Swiss fans say if Ambühl is continuing his career or not, where these his last international games? I don't know anything about him except that he must've played in this tournament for like the last 20 years straight.

19 years straight. 140 games at the worlds. He can still play, and he‘s a legend (at least in Switzerland).

 

[Lauro]

Congrats to Czechia, always my third favourite team behind Canada and my home country Germany since the 80s, love it.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

This is 5 times better hockey than any game in the NHL conference finals so far and I've watched them all.

In what sense?

Zlatý Bažant is Slovak indeed. Can you buy it in Germany?

There's a few Finnish players like him that are legends in the national team without either ever playing in the NHL, or having very short NHL careers so I can relate.

 

[GermanRocket7]

Zlatý Bažant is Slovak indeed. Can you buy it in Germany?

Yeah, there's a website that offers Czech and Slovak delicacies (mostly beer, but also meat etc.) for a somewhat reasonable price. I remember drinking Zlaty Bazant in Bratislava last year, but you can always also get it through this website. I think it's www.hopfenkurier.com or something like that.

 

[SwissLeaf]

Of course it's Pastrnak with the GWG, like a few weeks ago...

Oh well, I'm proud of the boys. Great tournament!

 

[FinPanda]

Czechs have been in the final 8 times and won 7 times. Absolutely insane record. And not talking about Czechoslovakia here

 

[Three On Zero]

Who threadbans his ass @Summer Rose ????

Do it at the same time?

 

[WayTooCold]

Great game.
Congrats to Czechia for gold.
And Switzerland for silver!

 

[BruinLVGA]

By the way, can any Czech fan see if I can get a discount on the CZ (Česká zbrojovka) I just bought? Maybe they‘ll take pity on a Swiss fan and shave off a few hundreds on what I already paid!

Oh, cool. But not like in Kaufland or Lidl, right?

I know Zlaty Bažant used to be sold in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and maybe other Easter Euro countries too, where it was marketed as premium Slovak beer. That's a thing of the past in Russia and Belarus at this point I guess.

Pretty disappointed in losing the final again but what can I say, best team won, enjoy your party and congratz.
Pasta saving his goal for when it counted the most is very fitting.

I can't really complain about anything, the effort was there, the PK was finally excellent, Genoni basically spotless, the battle between two airtight defenses was decided by an absolute monster of a goal scorer, not much more you could do when the Czechs has been super disciplined and stayed out of the penalty box.

Ahahahah!!! At least I was on the right side of history on that one!

 

[Saablic]

13th Czech(oslovak) title, let´s go baby. I hope now, that NHL will take us more seriously, look e.g. at Kubalík, put him on 1st or 2nd line and he will unleash his potential. They put him into 3rd or 4th line and they are amazed he didn´t sit on 80 pts after the regular season...

 

[Summer Rose]

Do it at the same time?

Decline.

 

[Fatass]

Great game.
Congrats to Czechia for gold.

Congratulations for Silver? The Swiss had all their best players. This was their best shot at Gold.
