Finland is in tough without Barkov, but it can’t be an excuse for a poor performance -
The Finns took their foot off the gas against Slovakia, and now they find themselves a step behind in a tournament which they were already underdogs. For most people, Finland’s gold-medal defense ended back on Sept. 25, 2025, when Aleksander Barkov tore his ACL and MCL during a training camp practice and would require seven to nine months to recover from the surgery to repair them. The Olympics were about four-and-a-half to five months into his recovery period, so barring a miracle, Finland was going to be without the man who captained them at the 4 Nations Face-Off. Barkov certainly tried his best to be as healthy as possible, even returning to skating at the end of January, but there was still almost zero chance he was going to make it to Milan. Finland also knew that, as despite Barkov being named to the initial preliminary roster of six players in June, he was already ruled out of the tournament in January when the Leijonat announced their full roster. It’s a shame for Barko

The opening ceremonies in Milan-Cortina are complete, and the Winter Olympic Games have begun, and what better way to celebrate the Winter Olympics than to be joined by Dan Brooks, son of 1980 USA Hockey coach Herb Brooks.

There is nothing more special to a hockey fan, than reliving the 1980 Miracle On Ice from someone who lived it. What a magical experience, and magical stories from Dan. King and Carts have a pretty great breakdown of this years opening ceremonies, along with their experiences at various football parties yesterday.
