Your savory breakfast links:
- Tom Wilson had quite the performance in Team Canada’s win over France in their final preliminary round game yesterday, scoring his first Olympic goal and tacking on an assist and a fight for good measure for a Gordie Howe hatty. Keep in mind, there’s no fighting allowed in the Olympics…but everyone loved it anyway! [NHL, Athletic ($), Sportsnet, THN (and again), RMNB (and again)]
- The US men’s team also completed their preliminary round sweep today with a victory over Germany. [NHL]
- With the men’s preliminary round wrapped, here’s what the qualification playoffs look like for everyone but the US, Canada, Slovakia, and Finland. [NHL, Olympics, THN]
- On the women’s side of the tournament, the semifinals are today with Team USA facing off against Sweden. [Olympics, DFO, Yahoo]
- Finally, happy 50th birthday to Colin Forbes, and raise a glass to Paul Nicholson, who would have turned 72 today.
