Forwards look unstoppable in 2nd straight men's hockey win, but see room for improvement
If you stop Connor McDavid on Canada's top power play, you'll also have to face Nathan MacKinnon.
Shut down both of them, the number-one and two scorers in the NHL this season, and you might be ready to celebrate. But wait! Here comes Sidney Crosby and Sam Reinhart.
There are so many options up front that Mitch Marner and Macklin Celebrini have been relegated to the second power play unit.
Two games into the Olympic tournament, it's clear that Canada's forward group is the deepest in the tournament, maybe the deepest it's been in decades.
MacKinnon and McDavid shine as Canada steamrolls Switzerland
Eight different players have scored over the first two games, including Friday's 5-1 win over Switzerland.
Canada's final preliminary-round game against France is set for Sunday at 10:40 a.m. ET. You can watch all the action on CBC and CBC Gem.
The Canadian attack starts with Crosby, the veteran who's been to the top of the Olympic podium, twice.
It continues with McDavid, the best talent to come out of this country since "The Kid" from Nova Scotia. He's leads the tournament in scoring with six points in two games.
There's MacKinnon, the super-intense forward who grew up idolizing Crosby and now joins his friend and training partner at the Games.
And then there's the teenager. Celebrini played his way on to this team with his maturity and poise. A standout second season with the San Jose Sharks helped, too.
All four scored against the Swiss, in addition to a marker from defenceman Thomas Harley.
"You see some of the best players in the world, some of the best players ever, probably," Swiss captain Roman Josi said about the Canadian team. "They move the puck well and you get your head full when you play against them."
