From Andrew Gross at Ranger Rants:
Ryan Callahan has been good enough to agree to return some e-mails during the Olympics to discuss his experience and preview/review Team USA’s games.
He got back to me tonight after Team USA held its first practice Monday afternoon as it prepares to play Switzerland Tuesday at 3 p.m. Eastern. Fittingly, Team USA’s game can be watched on USA.
“I think our team will be a fast, in-your-face type style,” Callahan wrote. “It seems to be a well-built team with out-grinders and checkers and our top skill guys and good goaltending. The Swiss, I think, will be a fast team that has played together now for a while, which will help them. They also have a good goalie in (Jonas) Hiller.”
