Sorry stupid question but when Rasmus Sandin has started represent Finland?
Last time when i checked Sandin's eliteprospect.com profile he was Swede.
And Alexis Lafreniere is Canadian not Swede.

I like yours the most... you have 2 Czechs on the All Star team and us with a bronze!

I will agree that if we win a medal (and I seriously see no hope personally) than Dostal will be awarded Best Goalie. He might have to score a few goals and play D as well though.

I award you the best (meaning: funniest) post. You win! Seriously though, I am neutral on Czech...so I hope they do well (except against USA).
