Canada had won the previous two World Championships. The outcome of the gold medal game pleased many Europeans who were upset that the Canadians had done so well with only 9 players who had played during the lockout and were still in game shape. Also, the recent dominance of Canada, not only at this event, but at the 2004 World Cup of Hockey, and 2002 Olympics, concerned other nations that Canada had returned to being hockey's international powerhouse.
