Rozsival, Czech Republic Win Gold

Newyorkrangers.com reports that Michal Rozsival earned his first IIHF World Championship gold medal tonight, as the Czech Republic upset Russia 2-1 in the 2010 title game at Cologne, Germany.

"No Czech forward or defenseman saw more action in the tournament than Rozsival, who continued to be a constant presence with 20:30 of ice time in the gold-medal game."

Artem Anisimov will come back to New York with a silver medal.

...first off congrats to Rozsival. It is very encouraging to see him play so well in this tournament. Before the Worlds started I was excited for all the Rangers young players to gain much needed experience, however, in the end it looks like the veteran Rozsival may have benefited the most. Would love to see him come to camp with a renewed sense of confidence. The only negative was his lack of offense. But that's just me being greedy.

...also very excited about Anisimov's tournament performance as well. From what I read and witnessed he seemed a lot more sure of himself and his ability.
