Time 11:06 first powerplay of the match is for team yuesey. Jiří černoch send by the ref to the penalty box for interference, a bit dubious call if you ask me, czechs not happy at all

Time 09:33 Karlson Kuhlman scored his very first goal in the tournament. USA 1-0 up (Meyers and Peeke with the assists)

and it started. USA in white, Czechs in red. Czechs chasing their first edal since 2012, during that period the US earned 4 bronze medals.

Bronze Medal Match to start in less than half hour Line-ups Vejmelka - Kampný, Hronek, Ščotka, Kundrátek, Šimek, Sklenička, Jordán - Červenka, Krejčí, Pastrňák - Blumel, Hertl, Zohorna - Smejkal, Kämpf, Vrána - Špaček, Flek, Černoch - 13th forward Stránský playing again witho only 4 defencers ! Swayman - Hughes, Jones, Schmidt, Peeke - Galchenyuk, Hartman, Boldy - Gaudette, Tynan, Bellows - Lafferty, Barber, Farrell, Meyers, Kuhlman - Bordeleau, Hayden, Lettieri - Watson Lafferty and Barber will have again to play as defencers... Both teams already played together in Tampere in the preliminary round with Czechia winning by football result 1-0. is looking for first medal since 2012 !!! after losing its 11th semifinal in a row at WCH in history (absolute record) want leave this unreal tournament with a medal. USA after losing two defenders for injury are now playing with only 4 blueliners since the half of the preliminary round. Seth Jones is playing literally every match around 30 minutes of ice time, absolutely crazy. Czechs finished in the preliminary round group B 3rd and USA 4th both with 13 points with the head to head result 1-0 for CZE being the decider. CZE beat Germany 4-1 in the QF to lose to Canada yesterday 1-6 in the semi. USA eliminated surprisingly one of the top fav of the tournament, the until then unbeaten Switzerland 3-0 to lose yesterday in the earlier semifinal to host Finland 3-4 USA had 3 hours of rest more than the Czechs who are returning to the ice less than 19 hours after their semifinal. Referees of the game Lassi Heikinen of Finland and Fraser Lawrence of Canada, Linesmen Hannu Sormunen (Finland) and Nathan van Oosten (Canada)

Nightmare tournament for our M C1 squad continue, not winning a single medal at home water is just inexcusable. Absolute fiasco... Miquel Trave, what a talent this kid is the guy will be once Olympic champion I said it a couple of years ago and I keep on my words

Well, it must be decided next May after the World Champs. The 8 highest ranked teams in the iihf ranking will advance directly to the Olympics and the other teams will have to play qualifiers, for the countries is necessary to know the entire final ranking to know who will host which qualifying tournament and against who. Also the Milano/Cortina 2026 preliminary groups will be determined, so IIHF have basically only 1 year to solve this "freezing" chaos..

Cross-post with Ice Hockey discussion Thread Important info : IIHF council decided that countries that were not able to participate this year due of covid travel issues will not lost their seeding and will not be relegated. Also and will not be allowed to copete even next year, but since lower division will be adjusted to have 6 teams, many changes were required and basically relegated teams will play again in their respective divisions like this year - yeah Total Chaos Adjustments in Division I and below With Russia and Belarus not able to play in the 2023 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship program, it was decided to fill up tournaments to the regular number of teams, which is usually six in the groups below the top division. For the men’s categories that means that teams will move up in the following order to reach the number of teams beside the teams regularly promoted: 1) last-ranked team that was originally relegated, 2) runner-up of the lower division. In the women’s categories the move usually involves one team being the last-ranked team originally relegated that will stay up. The 2023 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship Division I Group A will thus be played with Italy, Great Britain, Lithuania, Korea, Poland and Romania; Group B with Japan, Ukraine, Estonia, China, Serbia and the Netherlands. Teams that were not able to participate in the 2022 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship program due to Covid-19 remain their seeding position in the program. However, for 2023 it is planned that member national associations who do not fulfil their participation commitment will be dealt with according to the regular procedure as by the IIHF Statutes & Bylaws. This is how it should look (remember the Division III B and Division IV can be split into 4 and 4 teams, so and will be very likey put back to division four Elite: Austria Canada Czechia Denmark Finland France Germany Hungary Kazakhstan Latvia Norway Slovenia Slovakia Sweden Switzerland United States Russia and Belarus still suspended.

& hockey National Teams will not compete also at next the year's World Championships, which will take place in Tampere and Riga from 12 to 28 May 2023. However At the International Congress of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), the delegates decided to "freeze" their participation in all world championships. The Congress discussed also about logistical difficulties resulting from the exclusion of both countries, which affected the composition of the World Championships tournaments and the designation of relegating and advancing teams. According to IIHF president Luc Tardiff, the eventual future return of Russia and Belarus to the World Champs will bring the same challenges. However it is certain that In the future, when the IIHF will remove the suspension, both countries should return to the Men´s Top division category. Still wondering what this "freezing" will means in the Olympic qualification, only 1 tournament is reamining, next year WCH. and if we count another 0 points for Russia like from this year, this must means no direct quota for them, but again I have no idea what they have in minds with that freezing

The most funny is (reading french medias) majority (high ranked politicians included) still blame Liverpool fans for this. Ah I love France, when something happens it is always because of les British, poor GB can´t catch a break

Look at the good side of things my friend, See even brainless people can wear masks (well, not the right way, one can argue, but at least the wear. Covid has no chance in St. Denis)

That sounds like a good smart idea to park your car infront of Champions League final stadium
