Out of interest, since this is restricted to NHL players only, these won't be counted as "official" international games by the countries involved, right?
I'm curious to see if she survives beyond the trimester or even Kontiolahti. In the past, we've often heard that the Swedes are in particularly good form at the start. I still remember Johanna Skottheim the most, she also had a dream week in Kontiolahti four years ago and nothing worked from Hochfilzen onwards. She's still competing in the IBU Cup, but won't make it into the World Cup.
We'll have completely different snow conditions in Hochfilzen next week, so everything will start all over again.
