Posting this little ditty just gives the HQ the chance to see Malkin, Kovy, and Ovi sing with some of the other legends of the sport- including Tretiak...
It's an effing riot...
This first came out back in November, but since the tournament is up and running, we figured we'd show it again...
There is an amazing amount of pressure put on the home team to win a gold medal...
And the Russians will have an interesting chemistry issue to deal with. The KHL players on the squad all practiced together before the NHL players even arrived in Sochi, so there is almost two factions at play here...
The Kovalchuk/KHL faction and the Ovechkin/NHL faction and how they will interact will be an interesting subplot to the whole thing...
There are four teams (maybe five, if you include the Czechs) that will be fighting for the medal stand- USA, Canada, the Russians, and the Swedes...
The HQ believes in defense first when putting these squads together, so goaltending will keep teams in the medal race long before any other aspect of togetherness...
Thus, we look at Lundqvist and Miller over Fleury...
