Team Finland might not be one of the top two or three favourites heading into Olympic competition, but teams that underestimate them will do so at their own peril. Don't forget, the Finns are the defending bronze medallists from Vancouver.

They announced their roster Tuesday morning, and there were no real surprises other than veteran Saku Koivu not making the cut.

Let's take a look at Team Finland's 25-man roster, line combinations, defensive pairings and its outstanding goaltenders.
