Canada beats up Czech Republic 8-1 in Opener

SCOTIABANK PLACE – In front of a home crowd of 19,640, Canada kicked off its World Junior Championship with a 8-1 win against the Czech Republic. It was the biggest attendance in World Junior history, surpassing the 19,465 fans who attended a December 30, 1994 tilt between Canada and the Czechs in Calgary.
John Tavares was the key to the Canadian victory as the potential number-one NHL draft pick had two goals and an assist in the win. In fact, it was Tavares who pulled Canada out of a first-period slump when he scored the 1-0 goal with four seconds left in the first period. For the Czechs, the goal was a blow after playing a solid first period in an antagonistic atmosphere.
Tavares again set the tone in the second period when he notched his second goal just 2:09 into the period. Tavares followed up the pair of goals with a picture-perfect pass through the crease to Angelo Eposito who gave Canada a 3-0 lead. After that goal, the Czechs were deflated as Canada dominated the offensive zone for the rest of the period. Canada added its fourth goal when Ryan Ellis popped in the puck after a scrum down low. Tyler Ennis closed the period with a 5-0 goal at the 33:33 mark.
The fifth goal marked the end of the game for Czech goaltender Tomas Vosvrda, who was replaced by Dominik Furch. Furch let in his first goal when Chris di Domenico scored the sixth Canadian goal 2:06 into the third period. From there, the Candians cruised, putting in another two goals to make it 8-0. Jan Kana of the Czech Republic spoiled Tokarski’s shutout bid with a late marker.
Canada has tomorrow off before facing Kazakhstan on Sunday. The Czechs will have a day to regroup before taking on the U.S. on Sunday. OHL Hockey News thanks; JENNY WIEDEKE Canada feasts 8-1 in opener
