So… what do you think of Canada's performance so far in the men's hockey tournament at the Olympics?

After three games, the Maple Leafs are still undefeated and really seem to be in a class of their own.

5-0 against the Czech Republic, 5-1 against Switzerland, 10-2 against France… it's hard to ask for more!

Two players have really stood out for Canada since the start of the competition. We have to talk about Macklin Celebrini's performance because the youngster has been truly impressive.

The kid already has four goals so far and is approaching the record for the number of goals scored in a single tournament when NHL players participate. He is just one goal shy of the record—held by Jarome Iginla—and that's even crazier when you consider that he is only 19 years old. He is special.

But when talking about Celebrini… we must also consider Connor McDavid's dominance.

After three games, the man we like to call “McJesus” already has nine points. He's showing why he's the best hockey player on the planet, and it's beautiful to see.

After all, the Oilers captain has already broken the record for the most points scored in a single Olympic tournament.

And Canada has only played three games. That's quite an achievement!
