Alright guys, new game's up, it's called "Predict the Olympic Team!"

You can predict as many teams as you want, but only your best result will be counted in the standings. The deadline for predictions is 11:59 PM, January 8th, Hawaii time. Should injuries strike, you'll be allowed to change your predictions for the injured players only. Prior to the deadline, you can make as many changes as you want. You'll also have a total of 25 slots, for 23 possible roster spots. They are:

12 Forward Slots
8 Defenseman Slots
3 Goaltender Slots
2 Utility Slots
