Olympic Group Stage Impressions

With the group stage out of the way in Milan, Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne, and Sam McKee reflect on the Olympic hockey we've seen so far and look ahead to the knockout stage. Sportsnet's Sean Reynolds joins them (5:40) from Italy to share impressions of Canada's men's and women's teams through three games and what changes we might expect in the quarter-finals. Then, he discusses Tom Wilson's fight against France's Pierre Crinon, whether there are any roster-construction regrets, and the pressure on Macklin Celebrini. Later, Nick and Justin regroup with Sam to discuss France suspending Crinon for his fight, Matthew Tkachuk chirping Leon Draisaitl, and mixed perceptions of Auston Matthews by Team USA fans.
