Crosby sets record, Wilson drops the gloves as Canada thumps France at Olympics | CBC Sports

"The Canadian hockey icon registered a goal and two assists Sunday in a 10-2 dismantling of France as the country finished with a perfect record in the preliminary round of the men's tournament at the Milan Cortina Olympics. The 38-year-old Crosby's three points gave him 16 for his Games career, eclipsing the national team's NHL-era record of 14 previously held by Jarome Iginla."

"Wilson was also ejected for fighting Pierre Crinon in the third period after the French defender delivered a forearm to the face of Nathan MacKinnon. "That's a big part of what we're all about," Canadian head coach Jon Cooper said. "These guys go through a wall for each other. It's fun to watch. I think we're used to a lot more than that happening. It was pretty harmless in the grand scheme of things, but that's Willie.""

"Macklin Celebrini added a pair of goals and an assist on Sunday, while Connor McDavid and Mark Stone each scored and set up two others. Cale Makar and Tom Wilson both with a goal and an assist Devon Toews, Bo Horvat and Brandon Hagel provided the rest of the offence for the Canadians (3-0-0-0), who now await the winner between Czechia and Denmark in a qualification playoff Tuesday to determine their quarterfinal opponent. Jordan Binnington had to make just 11 saves."
