1998 (Olympics): Behind goalie Dominik Hasek's shutout, the Czech Republic defeats Russia 1-0 in the Gold Medal game in Men's Ice Hockey. Petr Svoboda's goal with 12 minutes left in the game broke the scoreless tie. It was the first Olympics in which the NHL took a break in their schedule to allow players to play for their national teams. The Czech Republic entered the tournament at +1500 to take home the Gold. Canada entered as the favorite at +160 but finished a disappointing 4th place after losing to the Czech Republic in a shootout in the semifinal round.
