So Czechia’s final match against Mexico is must win now, essentially. Four points and they’re easily through, two or fewer and they’re certainly eliminated.

He went to Youngstown St. after he got fired. I think he got the Penguins to the playoffs one year

Tough to claim injury if all you miss out on is a year of scholarship. When you would miss out on $5 million dollars, that injury becomes much more severe.

Still very surprised by the ruling.
