 1993 World Junior Hockey Championships Results, January 4:
 ==========================================================

 The game was broadcasted on Swedish TV so just a small game report.
 
 CZECHOSLOVAKIA - CANADA 7-4 (2-1,1-2,4-1)

 Canada had already won the gold prior to this game so that might explain
 why Canada probably played their worst game of the tournament. Still,
 they had the chance of going undefeated and untied in the tourney,
 which not many teams have accomplished. Canada chose to play their
 backup goalie, instead of excellent goalie Manny Legace, and DeRouville
 was nowhere near as a good as Legace. 

 USA had assured themselves a chance of taking bronze due to their win
 over Finland earlier, but USA needed Canada to win in order to get
 the bronze.

 Czechoslovakia was of course eager to beat Canada and thereby take the
 bronze themselves, especially since this is the last time Czechoslovakia
 played in any hockey tournament. The coach and the leaders were yelling
 at their players to play tough and fight hard for the medals, and the 
 happiness at the end when they won was incredible.

 Game notes:

 Alexandre Daigle showed some of his great skills when he made a nice pass
 from the boards and found Gendron by the far post, 1-0.
 1st - CAN 0-1 Martin Gendron 5	   (Alexandre Daigle)		    12:45

 Petr Ton won the face-off, back to Cerny who made a fast shot that didn't
 look unstoppable.
       CZE 1-1 Michal Cerny 4	   (Petr Ton)			    13:16

 The puck was shot and hit the post, the rebound bounced out in front of
 goal where the Canadian defenseman and the goalie couldn't decide who was
 going to take the puck, so instead Krisak took it and scored.
       CZE 2-1 Patrik Krisak 3	   				    15:51

 Canada equalized in the second period, Shantz taking a rebound from short
 range.
 2nd - CAN 2-2 Jeff Shantz 2	   				     0:47

 Vyborny got a penalty shot and made no mistake as goalie left a big hole
 between the pads.
       CZE 3-2 David Vyborny 6	   				    11:58 (ps)

 Equalizer by Canada again, shot from the blue line, rebound score.
       CAN 3-3 Chris Gratton 2	   (Chris Pronger)		    17:25

 Steinar took the puck in neutral zone, advanced against the goal and
 target shot a nice wrist shot in the top left corner.
 3rd - CZE 4-3 Ondrej Steinar 1	   				     3:20

 Cerny increased the lead to two with a backhand shot between the leg pads. 
       CZE 5-3 Michal Cerny 5	   (Petr Ton,Pavel Rajnoha)	     5:39

 A power play goal reduced the lead, Lapointe was unattacked, decided to
 try a slap shot from the hash-marks.
       CAN 5-4 Martin Lapointe 5   (Mike Rathje)		    13:08

 A 2on1 breakaway, rebound from goalie, played in the air by Nemcicky.
       CZE 6-4 Tomas Nemcicky 3	   				    18:24
