First in the pool on the line. Both of us have avoided Sweden in Quarters but the US loom large. Top 2 should avoid them. Canada cannot finish worse than 2nd.
Canada has looked great and the defending champs are worthy of their 1 seed and gold favorite status.
Czechs have been much better than expected as they have yet to lose in regulation. Despite a weaker D they have been working well as a team and bend but have not really broken yet.
Big news is that the Czechs will have Pastrnak, Zacha and Necas in their lineup for this. Lots of rumours of where they will be in the lineup but I'd expect to see a lot of them. Kampf is back from injury as well and he does a lot of heavy lifting for us. Will it lift us up or kill chemistry?
I expect a close game (something I don't always type before Canada games). Both nations want first. Win Tuesday and maybe Thursday is more pleasant.
