There was this game. To my knowledge it's the only Czech win and was a total fluke. We lost to the soon to be relegated German's the next day and Canada finished 4th.
That team actually produced some good players for us as 6 are still in the NHL today... Pastrnak, Vrana, Zacha, O. Kase, Sulak got a cup of coffee for the Wing's, Kampf and Simon. Langhammer and Hracovina are both good goalies in Europe.
If 6 guys on this current team are NHL regulars I'll be pretty surprised.
Your prediction is off by a period probably. Eg. it'll be 5-1 after 2 periods for Canada. Then it'll get ugly.lol
Ah yes, there you go. I did not remember that at all. For some reason the 2014 tournament in general is the most forgettable to me since... maybe ever. I can't quite explain it. The only things that I remember about Canada are the team being too slow, Sutter looking like he regretted returning, Drouin holding onto the puck, and Mantha and Pouliot being good. I don't think that the Czechs have beaten Canada since the early 2000s outside of that game.
