Morrissey being out is a bigger deal than people have made itsutterfamily wrote: ↑Sun Feb 22, 2026 8:24 am One of Canada's biggest problems I've seen so far in this tournament is that there will be some chance and it's like MacKinnon/McDavid/Celebrini on with Travis Sanheim or Colton Parayko and the space that's open from everyone else ends up going to Sanheim/Parayko and they just aren't up to speed offensively in this tournament.
