Matt Duchene to Sidney Crosby to Joe Thornton.

Yeah, that's unfair.

Duchene's pass into the slot went through three Czechs, and Crosby made sure poor Michal Neuvirth never had a chance. As for Thornton, it has to feel good to be on the other end of one of those sweet backhand feeds.

The assist was Crosby's second of the night and third point. Duchene and Thornton both finished with a point in Canada's 6-0 romp over the Czech Republic.
