""The referees really worry me," Rulik said, per @RonoAnalyst. "What they're allowing against us is unacceptable. After every game, we send them two or three clips where they confirm that the opponent should have been penalized. I don't understand it. I just don't get it. I feel like everyone is afraid to call anything against Canada. We were basically playing against six players. I don't want to make excuses, and no one has to agree with me, but the video backs me up.""
"Czechia put a tremendous scare into Canada during the quarterfinals of the men's hockey tournament at the 2026 Winter Olympics. The Czechs held a late 3-2 lead in the third period before Nick Suzuki tipped home the tying goal with 3:27 left in regulation, and Mitch Marner then sealed a Canadian win just 1:22 into overtime. The Czechs fought hard against the gold-medal favorites, only to see their tournament come to an end heartbreakingly."
Canada rallied to beat Czechia 4-3 in the men's hockey quarterfinals at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Czechia led 3-2 late in the third period before Nick Suzuki tipped a tying goal with 3:27 remaining in regulation. Mitch Marner ended the game 1:22 into overtime. Czech head coach Radim Rulik criticized the officiating, claiming referees allowed illegal play against his team and asserting video evidence showed opponents should have been penalized. The Czechs had earlier taken a 3-2 lead when Tomas Hertl blocked a shot and Ondrej Palat finished an odd-man rush while Czechia appeared to have six players on the ice.
