Following the game he was named “Best Player of Team Czech Republic” and he (along with Jagr and Voracek) were named “Three Best Player of Tournament” for the Czech Republic.

Numbers for Pavelec in the tournament:

GP: 9
GA: 14
SVS: 163
SOG: 177
SV%: 92.09

The Czech Republic and Ondrej Pavelec will play the loser of the US/Russia in the bronze-medal game tomorrow afternoon.

I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
