yep very arrogant from some czechs here, it seems they are really bad winners
Why generalize? Almost everyone agrees it was a close game, it could have gone on either sides, really. The Swiss have been killing it in PP and overall played a very solid game (better defense compared to ours imo) with multiple good scoring chances - there is no doubt about that. Czechs started into the first & second period taking dumb penalties, thereby ruined their start and had to chase the fully deserved Swiss lead & momentum for the rest of the game, too many phases throughout the Czech game were far too shaky (weak PK overall & sleepy 1st & mediocre 2nd period), however in the 3rd and OT we managed to step up our game by a bit.
Even though we did not convince in the past games (and unfortunately past tournaments as well), there is a consensus in terms of expectation with our team (despite our current developmental challenges). No one is diminishing the Swiss effort or the fact that the Swiss team has made a huge step to the top 6 nations in the last years, producing elite talent (Hischier, Josi, Niederreiter etc.). Congrats on that.
But from Czech side I expect and believe in a more disciplined and concentrated game from our team and to be really honest with you in most games: a win over Switzerland, irrespective of my bias.
