We aren't missing anyone. This is a team of superstars learning how to play together. This round robin was totally expected. Infact it is usually the case with Canada, it takes at least 3 games for the team to really gel. Sometimes the team doesn't gel at all, for whatever reasons.
On the whole though, things look incredibly good for this team. We are absolutely dominating possession. Our defense looks the best in the tournament. The defence is incredible at moving the puck up the ice. There is no wasted time in Canada's zone. We've had as many defensive breakdowns as you can count with a pitchfork.
Sure the forwards need to find their groove. That is to be expected. A bunch of players playing unfamiliar styles and unfamiliar minutes on an unfamiliar ice surface. If you honestly expected something different then I would question you knowledge of the history of team Canada's at the Olympics especially on big ice.
