Czechia gets a chance at redemption when they face Canada in the men's Olympic quarterfinals. The team lost 5-0 to Canada in their earlier meeting but is optimistic about the rematch.
Forward Martin Necas expressed excitement about facing the powerhouse again, while David Pastrnak emphasized the need to put respect aside. The game, scheduled for 10:40 a.m. ET on Thursday, marks the first Canada-Czechia playoff matchup with NHL players since 1998, when Czechia won 2-1 in a semifinal.
