I expect the odds to fall.

Just yesterdey, there were two friendlies of this category:

Sweden - Switzerland 4:1 (2:0, 1:0, 1:1)

Canada - Finland 4:2 (2:0, 1:1, 1:1)

Therefore, it is a sign that Canadian national team, definitely the biggest favorite of the championship is already on fire.

The inportant rule to mention is, that there is only 1 point for a draw. Matches that ended up with a draw are without any over-time. It is main reason for coach Hartsburg to motivate his talented and skillful players to do their best from the very begining.

Home team of Czech republic certainly belongs to better ones, that is the main reason of such high odds. I really admire e.g. Jakub Voráèek, one of the best players in american CHL.
