what was czech republics record for the tournament? How did usa do?

[diamond]

Pls google I know czech was behind in every match almost, very typical tournament winner. Against Sweden in the semis, they were down 1-2 with 10 sec to go. Won a drop and got the 2-2, then won on penalties. But they had to beat Canada as well, which they did. WHat made their performance so impressive, was that several players from the NHL turned down to play for them and Jagr critisized this a lot. Jagr is btw linked to the NHL again.

question? why do they schedule the world tournament in the midst of the nhl playoffs, it just means the best players are unavailable, what kind of shit tournament is that

[cankid]

World Championship is always that time of year, those available or knocked out of the playoffs can go......even some of the best players choose to pass sometimes like Crosby did this year
