Team Canada forward Connor McDavid quipped about the line of Tom Wilson, Sam Bennett and Brad Marchand in the Olympics and what kind of fines they’d get as a line in the NHL.
Team Canada will try and achieve hockey immortality once again when they play the United States for the gold medal tomorrow.
They’ve employed a line that would drive most NHL opponents beyond crazy, putting Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson and Florida Panthers forwards Sam Bennett and Brad Marchand together.
Connor McDavid joked that it’s a line that has racked up untold charges from the NHL in fines over the years.
Pretty fun to see them all three together. Like how many, how much money, how many millions of NHL fines they’ve contributed all together as a line. Yeah, pretty, pretty funny line. But provided a massive goal. Ultimately I think it was them that shifted the game. Truthfully. - Connor McDavid
All three players have all been fined multiple times by the NHL Department of Player Safety. Wilson himself has been suspended multiple times for several questionable hits that have resulted in injuries to opponents, as has Marchand.
Connor McDavid Stepped In As Captain For The Injured Sidney Crosby
Canada captain Sidney Crosby wasn’t able to play in their exciting 3-2 win yesterday over Finland, the second straight game in which Canada needed a miracle comeback.
But because of Olympics rules, they needed someone to assume the captaincy, and McDavid was chosen.
Even though Crosby’s status for tomorrow hasn’t officially been determined, McDavid said he was simply keeping the captaincy warm for Crosby.
