Yeah, as Ben Bishop's back-up. You don't dump the best goalie in the East right now for a maybe, based on his Olympic performance. But his trade value probably went up. Jimmy Howard is the US' #3 goalie, but Babcock might have some interest in the Latvian to replace Jonas Gustavsson as the back up---although he is Sweden's #2 goalie in Sochi.

If the US plays and puts the puck in the net by all the different players that have scored and if Canada plays the way the have been--then I'm going with USA winning gold.
However, you watch, Canada shows up and plays their best game of the Olympics against us and we go down with a loss.

Sweden-Finland is a bigger rivalry than Bs-Habs.
The Finns haven't played the wide-open European game. They've been grinders, like the US D.
