Olympians On Your Team

I think Yashin will be on team Russia so that means six players representing six countries... on a side note, how did Latvia not take Zubrus?? None of their forwards are NHLers, and Zuby gets left off. Talk about a slap in the face. (Although maybe he refused? I dunno.)

Isn't Zuby from Lithuania?

Hmm, I just checked hockeydb and it says Lithuania. I thought it was Latvia though, because I know he was in the 02 Olympics, and I don't think the Lithuanian team was. It could be one of those weird zoning deals from the split of the USSR, where maybe he can play for Latvia or something because of that.

You sure he played for Latvia in '02 Olympics? I'm 99% sure he has never played for them...www.iihf.com/hockey/x/0102/OGM/gs/pg000036.htm
