Montreal Canadiens fans are thrilled to have four players representing their country at the Olympics.

Nick Suzuki is the only Canadian representative on the habs, and many were wondering about his role, his number, and his linemates.

It was quickly announced that Suzuki would wear #10, while Bo Horvat would wear #14.

This afternoon, Canada practiced for the first time and trios were formed on the spot.

Connor McDavid was on the first line with Macklin Celebrini and Tom Wilson.I love this combination.

Then there was Sidney Crosby playing center between Mark Stone and Mitch Marner.

But where is Nathan MacKinnon? He was actually on another line with Brad Marchand and Nick Suzuki. A great opportunity for Suzuki to prove himself.

Bo Harvat, Brandon Hagel, and Sam Reinhart also formed a line, while Sam Bennett and Seth Jarvis were the extra players.

I love the Canadiens.

Jon Cooper has decided to balance his lines well, which has resulted in some very interesting combinations.
