"We broke down Canada's dissection of Czechia, plus looked ahead to the second half of their back-to-back against Switzerland. Connor McDavid had three apples. He had amazing chemistry with Macklin Celebrini. Canada had different goal scorers, 11 players notched at least one point. Meantime, Jordan Binnington, who's looking to silence the critics yet again, made 26 stops to kick off his Milan Games with a shutout."
"William Nylander's off to a hot start, too, even though he hasn't been practicing. We did spend some time discussing the potential fallout once he returns to the Maple Leafs. For the past month or so, dating back to the game in Vegas, Nylander's been dealing with a groin issue. Speaking of the Swedes, their coach has it out for Oliver Ekman-Larsson, which from a Leafs perspective, could be a blessing. OEL dressed for Sweden's opener, but didn't take one single shift."
Team Canada opened the Milan Games with a dominant win over Czechia, demonstrating strong connection and balanced scoring across the roster. Connor McDavid recorded three assists and showed notable chemistry with Macklin Celebrini. Eleven Canadian players recorded at least one point, and Jordan Binnington stopped 26 shots for a shutout. Slovakia upset Finland, Finland then beat Sweden, and Team USA won 5-1 in its opener. Auston Matthews scored in his Olympic debut. William Nylander is producing early offense despite a lingering groin issue, and Sweden's coach has significantly reduced Oliver Ekman-Larsson's ice time.
