Before we get to Aidan Ganim and his thoughts on the last couple days, I do want to mention the top story for Legacy Heating and Cooling.

Home and O payments to no interest for a year. That's the ability of Legacy. Legacy Heating and Cooling. Canada 5, the Swiss 1. Canada 2 and 0 in their pool.

Why is Connor McDavid’s back-to-back three-point performance significant for Team Canada?

Bob Stauffer 2:45

France Sunday morning. All right. Goaltending's been good. Logan Thompson today. Played at Brock. Worked his way up out of U Sports, and I thought he was very good. The only goal Swiss scored was on a power play goal, and he got a piece of the first shot that ricocheted off. Catches with his right hand, by the way. Washington, the only team in the NHL with two right-handed catching goaltenders. And Puck hit the post, and they were able to bat one home for the only goal that has beaten a Canadian goalie so far in the first two days. of the tournament through the opening couple days of their pool. So goaltending was good. Defensively, I think it's got to be stated to me, Thomas Harley seems to be the guy that has stepped up the most.

Bob Stauffer 3:34

in the wake of the absence of Josh Morrissey and Morrissey was supposed to be in Canada's top four. We still don't have clear delineation and what we're looking injury wise, but I didn't mind Harley at all today. Um, I thought he played pretty well for team Canada on the back end. I don't love the taste of McCarr penalty killing tandem. Okay. Don't love it. Um, and I say that as a guy who watches the orders play at home and Bouchard at times together. And until about five games ago, they were looking all world. Bouchard's actually become quite of an effective penalty killer. And then the one thing I would say about the decision to move Tom Wilson and put Nathan McKinnon on a line with Connor McDavid and Macklin Celebrini is it changes the balance dynamic on the lines.

And it really means Canada's got two offensive lines, two scoring lines, Sidney Crosby with the two Vegas guys, Mitch Marner, Bert Stone, and then Macklin Celebrini.
