Team Europe versus Czech Republic, 3 p.m. ET (ESPN2)In a game with significant implications for Team USA, Team Europe will try to build off its shocking 3-0 victory over the Americans -- and thus move to 2-0 in the tournament -- as it takes on a Czech Republic team that was mauled 6-0 by Canada on Saturday. That score does not indicate how even the first half of the first period was nor the speed that the Czechs brought to the game. But they wilted under a relentless Canadian attack, giving up three goals in the last half of the first period. I believe we were ready to play, Czech Republic assistant coach Vaclav Prospal said after the game. But after the first goal, it almost seems like we stopped playing and started making bad plays, and they filled our net.Can Team Europe -- which played a patient, opportunistic game against the Americans, scoring three goals on just 17 shots -- force the Czechs off their game in a similar fashion? Team Europe appears to have more firepower, although the Euros were 0-for-4 on the power play against the U.S. The Czechs could not get the early goal they needed against Canada and were a grisly 0-for-6 on the power play in the opener. If theyre going to get back in the tournament, Jakub Voracek and Tomas Plekanec are going to have to get going offensively. Itll be interesting to see if the Czechs go with Petr Mrazek in net after Michal Neuvirth was thrown to the lions against the Canadians, who launched 50 shots at the Czech net. Both Mrazek and Neuvirth were very good during the pretournament schedule. Team Europe will be looking for Jaroslav Halak to continue his stellar play. The?New York Islanders?goalie stopped all 35 U.S. shots, including 17 in the third period. If Team Europe can continue its early roll and defeat the Czechs, that would force the Americans into a must-win situation against Canada on Tuesday night in order to keep their hopes of advancing beyond the three-game preliminary round alive. If the Czechs win, it sets up the much more remote possibility that the Americans could still advance via tie-breakers even with a loss to Canada.Line Watch: The expectation was that Team Europe would go only as far as captain Anze Kopitar and his linemates would take it. But the forward trio of Frans Nielsen, Marian Gaborik and Mats Zuccarello did significant damage for Team Europe, and if they can continue to contribute, it will take more pressure off Kopitar and enhances their teams chances of victory. --Scott BurnsideRussia versus Team North America, 8 p.m. ET (ESPN2)In their first game of group play on Sunday, Team North America played with high levels of skill, speed, offensive firepower and puck-possession -- very much like their next opponent has historically played during international tournaments. One day after announcing their arrival by crushing Finland 4-1, North America takes on a powerful and angry Team Russia. Its a fantastic test for the kids.Russia blew an opportunity to beat a Henrik Lundqvist-less Team Sweden on Sunday and now enters their game against the North Americans desperate and hacked off. Its one thing to take on Patrik Laine, who will be good in the NHL at some point in the near future. Its quite another to take on Alex Ovechkin, one of the all-timers.Team Sweden limited the Russian offense by keeping many of the shots to the outside and removing time and space. They could do that with a defense featuring Norris Trophy candidates Victor Hedman and Oliver Ekman-Larsson. North America doesnt feature a blueline of that caliber but their forwards more than made up for it by using their speed to track back and help out defensively.North America, led by McDavid, has world-class speed up and down the lineup that Russia will have issues containing. Team Russia doesnt have the most mobile defense, something the speedy forwards on Team North America should have an opportunity to exploit.This has a chance to be a high-octane shootout if both forward groups get going.Line Watch: Both teams have the disadvantage of playing back-to-back games to open group play, something that can be taxing on starting goalies Sergei Bobrovsky?of Russia and Matt Murray?of North America.?Bobrovsky was tested much more than Murray was in the opener, facing 29 shots from Sweden, making a number of good saves. Against Finland, Murray went long stretches without even seeing a shot, finishing with 24 saves, although the number of quality scoring chances wasnt incredibly high.Bobrovsky said hes ready to go but the Russians have a quality goalie in Semyon Varlamov waiting for an opportunity.?With Team North America, Murray is the clear-cut No. 1 and coach Todd McLellan announced on Monday that he will get the start against Russia.?--Craig CustanceLebron Shoes For Cheap . 10 Texas Rangers jersey for one last time.

Three years ago, Oregon opened the season with an 82-75 win over Georgetown in South Korea.We were able to play Georgetown three years ago and we had a tough game with them, Ducks coach Dana Altman said. We know they are an awfully good team with a lot of players coming back and we have a good core group coming back.Oregon is one of three ranked teams in the field along with No. 5 North Carolina and No. 9 Wisconsin. The Ducks and Badgers would face off in the semifinals if both advance out of the first round while the Tar Heels could await Oregon or Wisconsin in the title game.You look at the field and the exciting thing about it is a lot of teams have a lot of experience, Altman said. There are good programs and good coaches. North Carolina is coming off being in the national championship and Wisconsin was in the Sweet 16 and we had a nice year. It should be a competitive field.Oregon has its highest ranking in school history after reaching the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament last season, but the Ducks will likely fall when the new polls come out Monday following a 66-49 loss at Baylor on Tuesday.Sometimes it is harder to maintain a certain level of success than achieve it, so we definitely have some obstacles to overcome to get guys in the right frame of mind to compete, Altman said. This tournament will do that because game in and game out there wiill be great competition.ddddddddddddhe Ducks hope to have all-conference junior forward Dillon Brooks back to face the Hoyas after he missed the first three games of the season following foot surgery. The 6-foot-7 Brooks, who averaged 16.7 points and 5.4 rebounds last year, has been going through workouts with the team and could be medically cleared in time for the trip to Maui.Hes a big part of our team, but who knows when hes going to be back, Altman said. I dont. The doctors havent told me. I know hes anxious to get back but until they release him we have to play without him.It is unlikely Brooks will start when he first returns because he will be on a limited schedule.We will play him on the exact schedule the doctor gives us, Altman said. We are not going to be conservative or push the envelope, we will do exactly what the doctors say.Oregon opened the season with a 91-77 win over Army before losing at Baylor. The Ducks bounced back with a 76-54 win over Valparaiso on Thursday.With Brooks on the bench, center Chris Boucher leads Oregon in scoring at 17 points per game, followed by guard Tyler Dorsey at 12.7. Junior forward Jordan Bell is averaging 12.3 points and a team-high 8.7 rebounds.Georgetown is 1-2 after back-to-back losses against Maryland and Arkansas State. Guards L.J.
