It took penalties to separate Finland and the Czech Republic in the JVM match on Friday night.

Early in the match, Chmelar dished out a tough tackle aimed at Finland's Puutio.

- I saw that he didn't want to change so I just tried to tackle him hard, says the Czech with a twinkle in his eye.

Even Puutio was relaxed about it all when asked about the tackle.

- It's a bit strange, it hasn't happened to me before.

But it was fun to experience it and it gives the audience a laugh, he says.
