According to Eric Duhatschek on HNIC's Hot Stove segment tonight, Kiprusoff did tell Finnish officials that he would not be able to play in the Olympics before the team was named. Kurri named him anyway. Kipper is apparently quite disapointed that he is being made out to be the bad guy in this situation.
Can't blame him. The Finns screwed up, and are now trying to pin their mistake in naming Kiprusoff on the man himself.
