Olympic Hockey begins today.
Finland, who beat Canada in the bronze-game at the 1998 Nagano Olympics, starts against USA. Finland enters the games again with a team full of lesser names and missing Montreal Canadiens captain Saku Koivu, still recovering from cancer : : Canada starts against Sweden : : Canadians worry : : NHL-scorers aim for spotlight in Olympics : : Though I naturally root for the Finns, the Canadians have been my other big favourite since I was a kid. So as long as the game isn't Finland-Canada I'll be rooting for you Canadians.
