Jaromir Jagr: if the Czech Republic had defeated Canada, they would have won the Olympics. Former Czech hockey player Jaromir Jagr said that the Czechs would have won the 2026 Olympics if they had defeated Canada.
In the quarterfinals, Radim Rulik`s team lost in overtime (3:4 OT). The Canadians evened the score at 56:33.
The Czech Republic was very unlucky. I believe that if we had beaten Canada, we would have won the Olympics. The US has a similar style of play and we have found a recipe against it.
I don`t remember the last time Canada played so poorly. They were afraid and just waited for McDavid to rest and return to the ice: no one could launch an attack or create a chance. We did very well.
We understood that we could not play open hockey with them. I always make an analogy: if you don’t have a Ferrari, but you have a tractor, don’t take part in the race, but go to the field.
We were that tractor: confidently playing along the boards, winning the fight and waiting to score, ” Jagr said.
54-year-old Jagr on continuing his career: Fans won`t see me anymore. A miracle must happen. I gained 4-5 kg during the Olympics - I just ate and watched TV
The Czechs` nightmare - they didn`t score against Canada at the end of the match and were eliminated from the Olympics
