Bleacher Report's Olympic hockey projections are incredibly exciting

Sweden and Finland's rivalry in the Olympics will be reunited in a big way

Sweden and Finland always come in as teams that could potentially take down Canada for the ultimate crown. With the rosters shown above, there is no doubt that they could be threats again.

Over the last decade, the Swedes have had an upper hand over their Finnish rivals but the tides could be turning. The high-end talent in Sweden is there but they have had some players age out over the years.

Finland is restocked with stars like Sasha Barkov, Mikko Rantanen, and Miro Heiskanen. With Jusse Saros in the net, they are set.

Sweden will shine on the blue line. Stars like Victor Hedman, Erik Karlsson, Gustav Forsling, and Rasmus Dahlin amongst others will make life easier on Linus Ullmark who is sure to be their starting goalie as Bleacher Report suggested.

We'll see what each country develops in the next two years but BR did a great job on these two with how they stand right now.
