Jake Voracek “Literally About to Shit Myself” as Canada Escapes Czechia in Overtime Thanks to “Big Game” Mitch Marner
Published:
Canada got past Czechia 4-3 in overtime:
The Czechs honestly blew it. They had a GREAT chance from the high slot just about 15-20 seconds before this and couldn’t get it to go. Mitch Marner came down on the other end and went 1v3 and scored on the backhand. Incredible. They don’t call him “Big Game” Mitch Marner for no reason.
Canada was down 2-1 and 3-2 in this game. Nick Suzuki scored late to tie it up, then they went to 3v3 where Canada just throws stud after stud onto the ice. It’s ridiculous how many horses they have on that team. “Oh, we’re just gonna take Nathan MacKinnon off and throw Macklin Celebrini out there.” Brad Marchand on the fourth line, etc. It’s a big joke.
The USA has to handle business against Sweden today, but we want another shot at the Canucks after last year’s Four Nations final. They got lucky against the Czechs. Jake Voracek was so nervous (presumably) that he almost shit his pants:
