Czechia's Coach Complains About Refs: 'We Were Basically Playing Against Six Players'

Oh, the irony.

In what could have been a 'What If' moment that surely would have haunted generations of Canadian hockey fans, it turns out that Czechia had six players on the ice when Ondrej Palat scored the goal that gave them a 3-2 lead against Canada in Wednesday's Olympic quarterfinal. Luckily for Canada, Nick Suzuki tied the game shortly after and Canada went on to win 4-3 in overtime on a goal from Mitch Marner.

But following the game, it was Czechia's coach — not Canada's — who seemed more upset with the officiating.
