Michal Neuvirth deserves some love.

The Czech Republic goaltender had the unenviable task of facing Canada to open both teams' World Cup tournaments Saturday, and he did his best to keep the score somewhat respectable.

He robbed Steven Stamkos above, after a brilliant cross-ice pass from Sidney Crosby.

Canada won 6-0, but Neuvirth was impressive, stopping 44 of 50 shots.
