Olympics: First 6 in your team?

[IronHookem]

I say ullmark over landeskog. Always wise to name a goalie to build confidence.

Sweden has no clear cut choice for goaltender. Ullmark. Markström & Gustavsson are all kind of on a similar level. Whoever has the best start to the next season will land the job as the starter.

I wish Lehner was still active.

Why was Peterka not listed in Germany's first 6? What am I missing here?

Official word is, that they only selected signed players

"“Europeans, they’ve grown up on the Olympics also, and I think it’s neck-and-neck with the Stanley Cup right now, of wanting to win that event. And I think also of getting that opportunity to get to bring generations that have a Sidney Crosby and a Connor McDavid together to play internationally."

Ok, either I am missing something or when did exactly Europeans were "low" on the Olympics ?

I don't understand.. Olympics were not as big for Europeans with euro players, but it was still decently big. Olympics with NHL'ers have always been huge. At least here in Finland. Average Finn couldn't care less about NHL and only cares about our national team. That's why even WHC gets half of the population watching if we go far (1m minimum per game even if we don't go far, like 15-20% of the population).
