World Championship is just on a whole another level for europeans compared to americans and their NHL (fans, not players). Same for european players, career peaks with IIHF (or olympic) medals for national teams, not NHL playoffs or Stanley. 76% of all TVs in Czechia had the Semis on. 82% of all TVs in Czechia had the Finals on. + 17,5k in the arena, 7k in the fanzone and unknown thousands in the Old Town Square Average NHL playoff has 2,62mil viewers, WORLDWIDE. Czechia alone (10,5mil pop) made it past 3mil viewers, DOMESTIC.
On twitter the czech commentator Robert Zaruba stated that in Czechia there were 4,318 milion viewers, excluding those at the stadium, fanzones and on squares across the whole country. It is safe to say that most of the country was watching.
Thats because of Bettman though. Its because of the regional blackouts. And you're not counting all the fans watching the TV at the arenas/outside. An NHL team would smoke czechia. They faced tired teams that had 3 solid NHLers while Czechia themselves had the best player.
Yeah and they also had the best players imo. Best goalie, best player. USA didnt have a single superstar, neither did Canada. Lol, choke Tavares and rookie Bedard? Come on Canada, not even a single player that would get 100+ points. Switzerland and Sweden were the only other teams to stack up. And Czechia probably loses in the semifinals if Rutta is called on that 5 minute Major elbow.

@@duckmylife And even more crazy is that Jágr in two interviews just before the final game said that he believes that Pasta will decide the match and it really happened. Well... You don't talk back to Jágr. 😀
A funny little thing: Our goalie s name "Dostál" is very similar to "Dostal" with the normal A (on the jersey it is spelled that way anyway) which literally means "He got a goal" (Or "Didnt save"), literally its just the thing that you say when a goalie doesnt catch the puck. Therefore the fans are nicknaming him "Ne-dostal" which is the neg version, meaning "He didnt let any goal" or something along that lines, again, the transaliton here is tricky.
Congratulation to Czechia for they big victory yesterday, they truly deserve it. But as a Canadian I just want want to know that next year we're getting the gold back!!! And one more thing Czech hockey fans are absolutely amazing fans they love the game as hockey as much as Canadians do. Skvělá práce českých hokejových fanoušků
The translation at 3:00 is not really exact 😁"Well... Pasta told me whether I havem't shat myself" Which is a Czech way of saying "Are you shitting me?"
Everyone knows that Canada would win gold every year if the IIHF waited until the NHL offseason to host their tournament. Where was Crosby? McDavid? MacKinnon? Makar? It’s not a real international tournament if each country doesn’t send their best players. 🤷🏻♂️ Canada sent their farm team-their weakest team in ages-and was still the best team in A division, and finished 4th in the playoffs.
@JesusFriedChrist true partily..., but it also sounds like excuse 😃, because most of the teams are finished and also in remaining teams could have eauropeans who will miss the championship. Also if Canada is hockey super power, it should be able to send strong team every year...😉
@@COSMAS-videos Canadiens and Americans didnt win olympics or nhl brake world cups with stacked teams on multiple ocasions. No idea why you gotta say such a autistic high flown bs
"Imagine what he would do for the Stanley Cup" No he wouldn't do more. We Slovaks and Czechs care much more about world championship than NHL. And I'm pretty sure this applies to players too. I personally don't even know a single person who watches the NHL. But the World Championship is something else. It gives us this patriotic feeling that we are good at something and makes us proud. This doesn't apply only to Czechs and Slovaks but most of the EU nations too.
@@duckmylife Im gonna fill the blank spots our slovakian brother left... Not only EU fans care about the World championship more, but this time it was also more important for the players. Sure getting Stanley Cup is an honor but this was gold after 14 years and on top of that gold at home which didn't happen for 40 years. They knew that if they win they will be the team that won ireplaceble memory for the nation. Btw I'm not sure if I can root for Anaheim anymore... I mean if you guys keep winning Dosty won't be able to play for the Czech team :D But he won the most important gold for us so I guess that now it's time for Stanley. Just once... then we need him back.
Nevim no, řekl bych, že vyhrát Stanley Cup je obrovskej úspěch a rozhodně na úrovni Mistráku. Hodně Čechů sleduje NHL, samozřejmě ne tolik, jako IIHF, ale i tak bych to Ducks s Dostálem hodně přál. Po mistráku by si zasloužil i ten zlatej hattrick.
That second goal vs Swiss seriously deserves more screen time. Two guys jumped to move the puck forward and the scorer sprinted like mad to get it into the net. Also note the Swiss Captain trying to stop both actions even sticking his leg to the Pasta shot. If he got hit that would have hurt.
@@duckmylife For real, you replayed the hits like 5+ times but didn't even show the goals in slow-mo. Nothing. How? Both goals were amazing and memorable.
Congratulations Czechia! Wonderful atmosphere and tight, exciting games. You have a brilliant team! My team sucked this time but There’s always a new chance. ❤ from 🇫🇮 to 🇨🇿
Had Dosty scored that, I can guarantee that the whole of Czechia would just pronounce him the president on the spot (not to mention that the stadium would probably collapse) With 1 goal lead in a gold medal game, what a legend
im from czechia and this was my first home tournament i visited in the arena.. bought tickets to semi and GMG for myself and my dad even before the group stage ended.. after our win against USA, i told him that we have tickets.. it made him so happy and grateful and we even won the championship.. best outcome possible
What I like about hockey is that the fans do not trash the stadium, or the surroundings. You can take your kids to watch, and you do not have to be afraid of pyrotechnics, fights or pepper spray. A bit different atmosphere from football.
Yes, there were celebrations across the country, sure, the squares were filled with plastic cups the next morning, but nothing was set on fire, police didn’t have to be alarmed etc.
That's a fun word play :D By the way, "dost" would mean "enough" in Czech, which makes it even funnier. His name is properly spelled "Dostál", which could be loosely translated to "Didstay". And like somebody else pointed out in another comment, "Dostal" (English spelling of his name) would literally mean something like "got" (e.g. "he got a goal", in the sense that he didn't catch the goal), which is why he's now being nicknamed to "Nedostal" ("didn't get [a goal]").
What a celebration of european hockey! Awesome game and the arena was beyond boiling point. Heard 60% of the czechia population watched the semifinal, safe to say the final had higher numbers.
at the peak, 80% of all people watching television at that point were watching the game, something over 3mil people at one point, and that is not counting the thousands that were out in squares and such, here in Brno there was approximately 10k people on the square watching on the big screen
@@fl3x1no59That's insane! What a party and what a hockey nation you are! Makes me think even as a swede that this was the best outcome this year. Congratulations, the team and the entire nation deserve all love and respect for how you managed this tournament.
@@MatzeMB85 Updated numbers came in today, the finals at the peak were watched by 90% of Czechs watching TV at that point. The last 10 mins were watched by over 3M ppl, while the peak was over 3,7M. And I don't think that counts the people in the official fanzones, people on the squares and in the pubs.
Such a great game yesterday. Great moment for Czech Republic. Streets were packed by people everywhere, there were even fireworks! The Duck boys played amazingly and I wish that they bring it to Ducks as well next season!
@@LivingNed lol, of course the Czech Republic still exists - Czechia and the Czech Republic are the same thing, Czechia is just the shortened English name that we adopted a few years ago so that it's not such a mouthful referring to our country. For example the official name of France is also "the French Republic", same thing.
@@LivingNed Wtf are you smoking? Official name of the country is the Czech Republic, shortened to Czechia. Some ppl need to think and learn before speaking or writing.
I am surprised how perfectly you have covered this.. nice editing, entertaining commentary - nothing to add here, it was perfect :) Plus I hope that NHL fans will focus a bit more on IIHF thanks to internet and social media.. back in days, nobody from USA would care but now it seems that it is slowly becoming a tournament to watch! :) Cheers
Dostal is a beast. He is getting a goalie goal next year for sure. P.S. If Ducks could get Necas their top 6 would be one of the most skilled in the league and playoffs would not be a dream
Ridiculous slander, the Canadians and Americans know how to separate international and NHL play.. which is why you didn't see any ugly fouls or fights from either team in this tournament. Shame on you.
@@LivingNed well you are correct kinda. it is known that Canadians and US tends to get rougher if they are losing and become frustrated but often times they are met with equal force, especially from Czech players that are not afraid to get rough. This lead to great fights between CAN and CZE in the past :D These days they seem to get some self control tho.
That translation of Kaberle's tweet is slightly incorrect. Dostál literally told to that reporter that Pastrňák said to him if he's f-ing kidding him :DDD
For us in Czechia, it was insane. Like any other country we have our differences inside, but Hockey, beer and healthy rivalry is something that makes us united. Having that secured in our land is something special. I wanna point out the important quote that most of our players said:"We are not some individuals who wanna pop out, we are a team." Noone in our country expected the Sweden to be completely wiped. USA and Swiss were way more tense to watch. Some Gudas rear naked chokes are questionable haha (would smash my chair if I saw anyone in our team being treated like that). But overall pretty clean and good hockey.
Would've been the first swiss gold ever :( But I did not see us winning ESC and IIHF WC in the same year anyway. and Czechia playing at home in the finals, its great to see. Congrats and gg!
There can unfortunately be only one winner, but team Switzerland played a great game. Very clean technical hockey, amazing to watch. I cheered for Switzerland in their match against Canada, I wanted all medals to stay in Europe and the gold one to stay in Prague :))
The Swiss became a formidable team in the last 10-15 years and would absolutely deserve to win their 1st gold. As a Czech I would've rooted for them in the finals against any other team (don't tell the Slovaks).
Kaše wouldn't risk his nuts for a Stanley Cup. A gold medal at the World Championship is bigger for everyone else in the world except for the US. There's a strong national pride in playing for your home country that exists almost everywhere else
I'm Czech and of course I'm happy, but at the same time I really wanted Switzerland to win their first gold (of the modern era). Honestly I'd be happy no matter who won.
They're selling the national jerseys (red and white versions) with some of the players' names (including Gudas and Dostal) at the official fanshop webpage but it's only in Czech with shipping option only in Czechia.
As a fan of both Tampere Ilves & Anaheim Ducks it’s quite lucky to have my favourite goalie go from my local team to my favourite NHL team and now he won the gold medal with his country, so happy for him!
Thank you for covering the tournament in such great detail! You were my source of info on the thing and keeping a close eye on the Ducks players throughout after getting up early! Well done! ✅
Dostal scoring the ENG would have been a better ending but close enough. This tournament has me hoping the Ducks can poach Necas from Carolina somehow. It's also crazy to me that it took until the bronze medal game for Zelly to get the ice time he deserved, terrible coach.
We really needed this in Czech Republic. It united the people after tough years. Switzerland did amazing work. Kudos for Swiss hockey team. After some time the silver medal will look much more shiny.
Well, as a Swiss, I would be able to write a better ending (from a Swiss perspective at least 😂). But it was a great game and Czechia deserved the win.
I wonder if Toronto will acknowledge Dostal's existence now. He did deserve the MVP but I doubt he cares. He played like an elite level goalie and made his country proud! With players like him and all the young guns getting experience it will be just one to two more season and the Ducks will be back in the playoffs. The wait will be worth it!
Och come ooonn... why everyone start so Fast calling As Czechia?!... where dissapear good old Czech Republic? We dont say USA or UK when we talk About this countries.. we Just say classic America and England or even Great Britain
Well I am from Czechia and I was looking at it.. Dostal was brutal he was really getting every shot and Palat that.. THAT bro killed Glauser but never throught that Canada would lose again Sweden just brutal Semifinals and Finals
Gibby on the block? Dostie putting up some serious performances. Can he bring that intensity to the NHL next season? Looking forward to seeing what Verbeek and team do this off season
Everyone talks about how Czechs are champions again and the struggle, well we Swiss have never got Gold before and we've had the bigger struggle and it would have meant more to us to win our first. We will try again.
Btw that English translation of the Tweet about Dostál trying to score is somewhat... too polite :D Pasta basically said to him that he's fcking crazy and Dostál answered that you only live once :))
I'm from Czech Republic and I was back in the day so into ice hockey. I was traveling across the country for all the matches, traveled across Europe for some matches and overall I loved the energy even if I traveled for 2 days, saw a match and right after that traveled back home for another 2 days via trains. At first I was doing it just because of the sports itself and being a fan, but at the end I was mainly traveling to meet new people, I always smuggled some Czech beers into the arenas so whoever talked with me at the show had the pleasure of tasting our golden brew
i'm so glad this video got recommended to me. during this year's championship i fell in love with hockey again. your channel is exactly what i need to catch up with the ducks and what do i know? maybe i'll be waking up at 4 am to watch the games next season 🤠 Dostál na hrad!
I saw a few comments there. But for the Czech fans is the biggest accomplisment to achive gold on Olympics and then World Championship but for players themselfs is the most wanted trofy still the Stanley cup. Maybe they kind of want it the same way to win World Championship at home and winning a Stanley cup.
playing goal for the Ducks would be a living nightmare. 50+ shot a game and Zegras hitting the Michigan on you every practice. Props to Dostal and Gibson
I dont think the audience alone shows, how happy every Czech was. I recommend watching the goals with a czech commentatory.

Honestly that or we need a Dostal throwback jersey asap
They're selling the national jerseys (red and white versions) with some of the players' names (including Gudas and Dostal) at the official fanshop webpage but it's only in Czech with shipping option only in Czechia.
I bought from slovak e-shop (fansmania)
Thx and greetings from Czechia!
👋
Czechs are the Brazilians of hockey when it comes to love for the game. Nobody loves the game more than Czechs. Not even Canadians.
🔥
As a fan of both Tampere Ilves & Anaheim Ducks it’s quite lucky to have my favourite goalie go from my local team to my favourite NHL team and now he won the gold medal with his country, so happy for him!
As a Czech and Ducks fan, I'll take the liberty of quoting Proximus from Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes; WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!
Thank you for covering the tournament in such great detail! You were my source of info on the thing and keeping a close eye on the Ducks players throughout after getting up early! Well done! ✅
You're welcome!
Thanks for all the greetings from all over the world, it's stronger emotion than winning trust me. Thank you all for friendly approach ❤️🔥😭
I hope your videos will be recommended next year aswell :)
Thank you!
It's hilarious you think Stanley Cup matters to them more than the World Cup. How american of you
Dostal scoring the ENG would have been a better ending but close enough. This tournament has me hoping the Ducks can poach Necas from Carolina somehow. It's also crazy to me that it took until the bronze medal game for Zelly to get the ice time he deserved, terrible coach.
Dostal and Gudas playing recruiter while there 👀
DOSTWALL not getting tourney MVP is dumbfounding. His goaltending was godlike from finnish to finish.
“David SPACEK opens the score” ? How do you screw that up
Big fail...
heat of the moment.
I was there.. Fuckin amazing!
🔥
youtube delivered this one kinda late, but its great video nonetheless. Thank you.
Glad it found you!
world championship > stanley cup... and world championship AT HOME >>>> stnaley cup
Yes it could have been with Switzerland winning 😅. Czechs won many world cups, Switzerland got silver 3 times and never won :(
We really needed this in Czech Republic. It united the people after tough years. Switzerland did amazing work. Kudos for Swiss hockey team. After some time the silver medal will look much more shiny.
0:52 Flight to Switzerland lol
I am so proud of our team.
👏
1:25 ~ LMFAO you can tell the officials are Canadian, eh.
“…EAYH….WERE DONE WITH THIS SH*T, EH?!”
Plus, ya, for a rookie NHLer, Zellwegger was great
We love Zelly!

Fear the Butcher
Well, as a Swiss, I would be able to write a better ending (from a Swiss perspective at least 😂).
But it was a great game and Czechia deserved the win.
@FempireAudios Yeah, gold 2026 in Zurich would be nice.
And who knows, maybe Ambühl is still playing in two years.
Congrats to the gold!
Drink some water man. I'm sure this video is great, but I can't get past that dry mouth clicking. 😂
Finally...after 14 years. We are back on the top! Poor Swiss getting their third silver. I would feel bad but you know, my people won.
👏
As a slovak guy, I was singing the national anthem with the czechs.
👏
0:55 I got angry, why tf are you holding him?
They wanted to keep him :D
he is so good they wanted him for themselves 😆
Here, take this red dress please :D
Now he can say he touched the world champion
Kdo neskáče není Čech jsem hrdý na svoji vlast
👏
2:40 how can a commentator make such a big mistake? didnt he see the number?
NHL prý je nejlepší. Má nejlepší hráče světa, ale kde je USA a Kanada? Zlato mají naši hoši. Bylo to perfektní. Děkuji.
👏
I wonder if Toronto will acknowledge Dostal's existence now. He did deserve the MVP but I doubt he cares. He played like an elite level goalie and made his country proud! With players like him and all the young guns getting experience it will be just one to two more season and the Ducks will be back in the playoffs. The wait will be worth it!
💯 Gonna be fun!!!
Och come ooonn... why everyone start so Fast calling As Czechia?!... where dissapear good old Czech Republic? We dont say USA or UK when we talk About this countries.. we Just say classic America and England or even Great Britain
Idk, I heard Czechia all tournament 😅
Well I am from Czechia and I was looking at it.. Dostal was brutal he was really getting every shot and Palat that.. THAT bro killed Glauser but never throught that Canada would lose again Sweden just brutal Semifinals and Finals
😎
Gibby on the block? Dostie putting up some serious performances. Can he bring that intensity to the NHL next season? Looking forward to seeing what Verbeek and team do this off season
Gonna be interesting 👀
Everyone talks about how Czechs are champions again and the struggle, well we Swiss have never got Gold before and we've had the bigger struggle and it would have meant more to us to win our first. We will try again.
You have another chance when you host it in your home country!
Btw that English translation of the Tweet about Dostál trying to score is somewhat... too polite :D Pasta basically said to him that he's fcking crazy and Dostál answered that you only live once :))
Legend 🔥
I cried when they won, LET'S GO US
Great job with your coverage/videos of the world champs! Fun video format
Thank you!
I think the Czech Republic is the best in Ice hocky 🤝
For now! The Olympics are the true test.
@@duckmylife we already won that as well Nagano 1998. Its long time ago but still, im proud
Warning: Your channel has been flooded with patriotic Czechs!
🥳
as a czech person not interested in sport at all, the world championship final is the only match i actually watch
🙌
It was a foregone conclusion. How could a team who handed out beers at the airport not win?
🍻
We NEED the refs perspective in the AHL/NHL, too!
💯
This is how you put music in a commentary video. Brilliant work and very enjoyable to watch!
Thank you!
I'm from Czech Republic and I was back in the day so into ice hockey. I was traveling across the country for all the matches, traveled across Europe for some matches and overall I loved the energy even if I traveled for 2 days, saw a match and right after that traveled back home for another 2 days via trains.
At first I was doing it just because of the sports itself and being a fan, but at the end I was mainly traveling to meet new people, I always smuggled some Czech beers into the arenas so whoever talked with me at the show had the pleasure of tasting our golden brew
i'm so glad this video got recommended to me. during this year's championship i fell in love with hockey again. your channel is exactly what i need to catch up with the ducks and what do i know? maybe i'll be waking up at 4 am to watch the games next season 🤠 Dostál na hrad!
Wooo. I'm so glad!
Now lets have dostal a gudas bring that momentum back to anahiem an go for the cup next season. 🎉
Yaaaas
My home country striked back in hockey, we did it!!
👏
What a nice overview video, good job. Truly an awesome match.
Thank you!
That's pretty sweet seeing Getzlaf there at the Canada game. Even if he wasn't too happy
Miss that Baldy!
As a Czech, thank you for this video ❤
You're welcome!
I saw a few comments there. But for the Czech fans is the biggest accomplisment to achive gold on Olympics and then World Championship but for players themselfs is the most wanted trofy still the Stanley cup. Maybe they kind of want it the same way to win World Championship at home and winning a Stanley cup.
Czechiaaaa tha bestt Dostál byl mega zabijak
🔥
It is nice to see someone from abroad praising our Czech team and this championship in general!
Thanks
You're welcome!
playing goal for the Ducks would be a living nightmare. 50+ shot a game and Zegras hitting the Michigan on you every practice. Props to Dostal and Gibson
Hey, this year it was less than 50+ most nights haha
Great video .. hi from Czech
Thank you 👋
what a worldcup !! what a fans ! this is like a dream !
🔥
You might wanna fact check the video description again 💀
As a czech i love this video
🥰
not even gonna talk about the comentators calling pastrnak David Spacek on the first goal? 2:43
Mam radost.
It was a great game.
👏
дОстал достАл кубок
Spacek? wtf
Big oof
Why does the voice sound so dead inside
I am
@@duckmylife Understandable have a nice day
0:55 it's clearly seen that swis wanted to keep him there lol
😂
yeah, they really needed some help 🤭
I am so happy i got to witness watching this live, my home country winning gold on home ice
🔥
Not the commentator saying “David Špaček opens the scoring!” After David Pastrňák scores the first goal 😭😭💀
Whoopsie
@@duckmylife so unprofessional I am I right? 😭💀
I love your enthusiasm for hockey. Nice to see someone so passionate about a thing
Thank you!
I was on the Old Town Square. It was amazing.
🔥🔥🔥
TAK JSME MISTŘI NO A COOOO, NO A COOOO
