Burgundy Blog coverage of the 2010 Winter Olympics continues with a brief glimpse of the Bronze Medal game between Finland and Slovakia.

With the 2010 Winter Olympics Men’s Hockey Tournament preliminary rounds finished, it is time we take a look at the standings and the overall larger playoff picture. There are a few surprises this year regarding the “Super Six” of Canada, Russia, Sweden, Finland, the USA, and the Czech Republic.

Here we go with Part 2 of The Chopping Block: Who Can We Afford to Let Go? It’s been a little hard compiling this list of people who I think we can safely trade.

That’s why I started this little project of mine during the Olympic break. Part 2 – Guardian(s):

The International Ice Hockey Federation has half of this year’s Olympic Hockey team rosters available to peruse online today, with another five being announced tomorrow. The Team USA roster won’t be released until January 1st, during the Winter Classic game. Things aren’t looking good for team USA at this point but hey, we had the Miracle on Ice remember?

According to Colorado Avalanche Coach Joe Sacco’s pregame, Ryan O’Reilly will not play tonight against the St. Louis Blues. O’Reilly is suffering from a bruised foot, which was injured Saturday night against the Edmonton Oilers. Good news here is that testing came back negative on breaks and further damage, so hopefully he’ll be back soon.

The Colorado Avalanche face off at home against the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight in the fourth meeting between the two teams this season. There are a few things going on with the team that are interesting to take note of.
