Team Canada and Team Czech Republic met earlier tonight in the second match of the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.
The heavily-favored Canadian team looked to start what it hopes to be a dominant run through this tournament. What a better opponent than an over-matched Team Czech Republic?
Meanwhile, the Czechs came into this game hoping for a massive upset. To beat Team Canada in international hockey is tough enough. Doing so in Toronto is nearly impossible. The Czech Republic needed to rely heavily on goaltender Michal Neuvirth. If the Czechs were to have any shot against the Canadians, they’d need Neuvirth at his absolute best.
