David Pastrnak and Team Czechia won the 2024 IIHF World Championship, securing a gold medal in front of their home crowd in Prague. Pastrnak, a Bruins forward, was motivated by the Czech Republic's exclusion from the NHL's Four Nations Face-Off and played a pivotal role in the victory. Other notable performances included Leafs forward David Kampf and Marty Necas. Jiri Prochazka was also seen celebrating the victory. The win has sparked calls from Pastrnak for Czechia to be included in future Four Nations tournaments.

You knew the Four Nations snub was a big motivator for David Pastrnak and the rest of Team Czechia at the World Championships. He was understandably pissed about it when it was announced by the NHL. Pushed them all the way to a gold medal in front of the home crowd in Prague ๐ฅ https://t.co/OzMNgseeHC
