Open Extended ReactionsThrough three games of the 2026 Winter Olympics men's ice hockey tournament, Canada has not had much reason to worry. With a 10-2 win over an overmatched France team on Sunday, the Canadians are a perfect 3-0-0-0, and likely headed to a No. We all anticipated that McDavid would be driving Canada's offense, but he's surpassing even the loftiest expectations set upon his shoulders. But he has been terrific in just about every aspect throughout Canada's Olympic run so far, and he was especially good in Sunday's win over France. There will be tougher battles ahead than the one that played out on Sunday, but Canada can execute a high-level team game against any opponent.
