They, too have an old guy. But we all knew that one.

I think this trend of ancient hockey players in the Olympics should continue. Let's rematch 1980 at the next one. I hear Jimmy Craig is in game shape.

Barkov made it. Nice to see for the youngster.

I'm looking forward to watching this particular old guy skate circles around all of the young guys.

This team could be dangerous (all you have to do is look at the guys they can put between the pipes).

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

So deep in net.

Who would you start in goal? That's the toughest decision their coach has to make from game to game.

For me, it'd be Tuukka, no second thoughts about it.

I'd go Niemi first, then Rask if Niemi falters. It shouldn't get to Lehtonen.



Probably won't get to Rask.

I'd go with Rask over Niemi. I just think he's been slightly better.

 

[esls79]

I'd go Rask first then Niemi - Niemi gives up too many fatty rebounds.

 

[dash]

So esls is anti Niemi?

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Finland going for the double. They already shocked the hockey world once in the World JR's. We'll have to wait & see.

 

[pixburgher66]

Olli Maatta said he's nervous...to meet and play with Teemu Sellanne. D'awww.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]
