New York Rangers Prospect Adam Sykora Scores a Dandy vs. Latvia (VIDEO)

After getting rang up for 11 goals against Team Canada, Slovakia needed to shape up against Team Latvia, and New York Rangers prospect Adam Sykora saw to that with a brilliant play late in the opening frame:

The Rangers' 63rd overall pick from this summer's draft gave a raw interview today following his team's loss to Canada, calling it the hardest game of his career. Without the first and second overall picks from this summer--Juraj Slafkovsky and Simon Nemec--Team Slovakia basically had their claws clipped right before riding into battle. As such, Slovakia was pummeled by Canada and are currently leading Team Latvia 2-1 with about 12 minutes left in the second period.
