Just more than a week after the Bruins' season ended, Boston forward David Pastrnak scored as Czechia shut out Switzerland 2-0 to win the world championship on Sunday, saying after that 'we've been waiting for gold for a very long time.'

Just over a week after the Bruins saw their season end, their best player broke the deadlock for his country with 10:47 remaining in the final period, prompting the sold-out Prague Arena to erupt in wild celebration.

Pastrnak one-timed his usual place in the left circle past goaltender Leonardo Genoni after he was fed by defenseman Tomas Kundratek from the blue line. "We did it at home," Pastrnak said in his on-ice interview after the medal ceremony."We've been waiting for gold for a very long time and it couldn't have come at a better time. It's always a big thank you . They did amazing for weeks, and we were so excited to be able to extend it for them to play for the medal.", Pastrnak's teammate with the Bruins, said in his on-ice interview before the final.

It was the seventh title won by Czechia after the country was created in 1993 following the breakup of Czechoslovakia, and the first crown since 2010.
