Canada vs Czechia Quarterfinal Expectations with David Amber

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne, and Sam McKee start with a review of the qualification round of Olympic hockey, as the Czechs defeat Switzerland to advance and meet Team Canada. Sportsnet host David Amber joins the show (3:30) to share his impressions of what we've seen in Milan so far, how the Olympics impact international viewership numbers in the NHL, Matthew Tkachuk's trash talk to Leon Draisaitl, and whether Canada's performance in the preliminaries sets them up for success in the knockout rounds. Later, Nick and Justin regroup with Sam to discuss whether Canada should swap a less-than-100% Brad Marchand in for their elimination games and NHL players returning to practice.
