I don't know why Czechia decided to forecheck so aggressively with a 2-0 lead. Looks like they're always looking to step up, looking to gamble. Kinda not how they played so far this tournament. Not sure why they feel the need to do so against Canada now. They're giving up free quality chances because of it and I'm not sure trading chances with Canada is necessarily a good idea. I think Czechia should settle down and go back to what worked for them so far this tournament.
 
Expecting a Czech breakaway soon. Canada running a Leafs style attack where the point guys just constantly crash low and forwards take their places. Bound to f*** it up at some point.
 
This may sound a bit nerdy, or overly complicated, but Canada makes it really, really easy for Czechs to play disciplined hockey, and thus preventing their generally very solid powerplay from getting an opportunity.
 
Minten's setup two grade A scoring chances in the past couple of mins. Is that good enough to buy him some good graces? He's clearly not leaving the roles hes in. Might as well cheer for him.
