Slovak team for Sochi Olympics

[drummond]

Goal:
Jaroslav Halak (St. Louis, NHL)
Peter Budaj (Montreal, NHL)
Jan Laco (Donetsk, KHL)

Defensei:
Zdeno Chara (Boston, NHL)
Lubom?r Visnovsky (New York Islanders, NHL)
Andrej Sekera (Carolina, NHL)
Andrej Meszaros (Philadelphia, NHL)
Dominik Granak (Dynamo Moscow, KHL)
Ivan Baranka (Omsk, KHL)
Michal Sersen (Slovan Bratislava, KHL)
Martin Marincin (Oklahoma, AHL)

Forwards:
Marian Hossa, Michal Handzus (Chicago, NHL)
Marian Gaborik (Columbus, NHL)
Tomas Kopecky (Florida, NHL)
Tomas Tatar, Tomas Jurco (Detroit, NHL)
Richard Panik (Tampa Bay, NHL)
Michel Miklik, Milan Bartovic, Peter Olvecky (Slovan Bratislava, KHL)
Marcel Hossa (Dynamo Riga, KHL)
Tomas Surovy (Dynamo Minsk, KHL)
Tomas Zaborskz (Ufa, KHL)
Tomas Marcinko (Kosice, Slovak Extraleague)


It is quite obvious that the pool of the players from which they can select is rather limited. The core Halak, Chara, Hossa they are all getting older. The team has some talent, though. I do not expect them to win much but they could steal some crutial points from someone.

Visnovsky almost certainly won't be there as he's dealing with a concussion right now. That'll be a big blow
