Panthers popular in Czech Republic Olympic Hockey

by Donny Rivette on Sep 11, 2009 2:20 PM EDT Comment 4 comments

Florida may have a considerable presence at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver...at least among the men's squad from the Czech Republic.

Released this morning was the official 60-man roster of hopefuls for next year's tournament. Cats fans will notice more than a few names may ring rather familiar:

Tomas Vokoun - G
Alexander Salak - G
Martin Skoula - D (unsigned, in camp)
Radek Dvorak - F
Michael Frolik - F
Rostislav Olesz - F

(For you history buffs, former Panthers D-man Lukas Krajicek is in the mix as well.)

A notable invitee? Get this: 44 year-old two-time retiree Dominik Hasek (!). That should spice up the trials. Good luck to all of our boys.

If Czech brings Hasek, I wish Sweden brings Tommy Salo just for the sake of good old times…

Then we’d need to bring Forsberg out of deep-freeze.

You don’t think a roster position occupied by the bad foot man makes Sweden worse? Guaranteed he’d be out after three games.

I’m all for Hasek, though. I’m hoping for a nice long break for as many Panthers as possible. Remember, it’s the Detroits of the world hurt by the Olympic break. They have how many guys playing?
