From frank_seravalli: Canada overcomes Foote ejection, routs Slovakia in quarter-final. MORE:
OSTRAVA, Czech Republic — Thursday’s quarterfinal didn’t exactly start off on the right Foote for Team Canada.
They poured it on with four goals in the second period, including one from Alexis Lafreniere who returned for the first time since suffering a knee injury on Dec. 28, en route to a 6-1 victory that ended Slovakia’s tournament. That either means a grudge match against the Americans, who both held and then erased two-goal leads against Canada on Boxing Day to open the tournament, or the Finnish team that knocked Canada out of the tournament last season on their way to gold.
Another quality start from Joel Hofer? Check. Hofer was minutes away from dealing Slovakia their fourth shutout in their last five games against Canada.
