Back on American soil, Canada’s breakout star of the Milano Cortina Olympics, Macklin Celebrini, is still stewing over the outcome of the gold-medal men’s hockey game.
“We were so close. Whatever excuses you want to make about the game for us, at the end of the day, we didn’t win,” Macklin Celebrini said Wednesday upon rejoining the Sharks. “It’s bitter. It’s sour that we didn’t win, and we came that close.”
Celebrini was the youngest NHL player in Milan and the youngest ever to play for Team Canada. Still, he led all scorers with five goals and trailed only three-time NHL MVP Connor McDavid (13) with 10 points in six games.
