Canada and Finland will announce their Olympic teams Tuesday. Andrew Ladd and Olli Jokinen are both in the running but the Jets captain doesn’t sound like a guy that’s expecting to get the call.
“I don’t know,” said Ladd. “At this point, I’m not sure. I don’t think I’ve played my best hockey. Guess you’ll just have to wait and see.”
Jokinen has already been told whether or not he’ll suit up for Finland but kept it a secret to not ruin the surprise.
