Czechs are the 2nd best team...that is why they got the 2nd biggest trophy, nothing to sneeze at
Not sure that’s true.

Goal difference was pretty equal coming in, and Canada had a lot more success on the PP (14 GF vs 5 GF on PP). I think Czechia had the best even strength numbers in the tournament, both GF and GA.

Both team would have been deserved winners, and can’t help but feel a little bad for Czechia, when it comes down to it it’s 1:1 in the series for these two teams this tournament.
