They had 6 guys all playing like normal as far back as when they started breaking the puck out of their end. 2/6 of the guys after the breakout did a lazy change and they actually had 8 skaters on the ice when the puck went in, haha. Lol, nice one refs. That would have been nightmare fuel if we didn't come back and win. Crazy. I don't know how everyone misses that - not just refs, but Team Canada should have been screaming for the whole shift and even the Czechs should have been desperately trying to sneak someone off. The defence usage is a little troubling. Seems like the coaching staff has even realized that they may have made some errors in how they built this back-end. Bouchard and Schaefer would have improved things considerably over Parayko and Sanheim.

yeah, seems like our side was flustered and panicking and didn't clue in at all too.

Funny quote from the Czech coach, complaining it felt like his team was playing against 6 men (including the refs), after his team literally got to do a 6 man rush, with their goalie still in, to score and almost win the game
