Anybody else watch the first day? Defending champions Team USA beat Czech Republic 5-1. USA plays Slovakia next on Saturday. All games are aired live on the NHL Network and re-aired during prime-time if you don't feel like getting up at 6am to watch hockey.

The team has 3 Colorado boys, Will Butcher and Quentin Shore from Denver University and Jacob Slavin from Colorado College (go Tigers!). Butcher and Slavin both scored goals.

Russia, Sweden, and Canada also picked up wins against Norway, Switzerland, and Germany respectively.
