2

Per Gulitti (though you'll see it shortly at other places like NHL.com), Patrik Elias won't just represent his country, he will lead it in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. The roster (also at the link) looks to be one in a bit of transition, probably the last hurrah for guys like Elias, Jaromir Jagr, and Tomas Kaberle. Congratulations to Patrik for this great honor and best of luck to him and his country in Vancouver.
