I'm pleasantly surprised and proud that they were able to even find 14 NHL players to field a team. I think I'm most excited to see how Tatar performs on the Olympic stage. I believe he has the most potential of Slovak forward in the NHL when all is said and done. It'll be gritty rooting for a team with Hossa (not one, but both brothers) and Chara on it but it's only for 12 days.
It's going to be rough, but I'd like for them to beat the Czechs (with the Czechs age it's certainly doable) and play in the Bronze medal game.
