Olympic teams must submit their final rosters on by 12pm PT on Monday, and the first game starts on Tuesday at 12:00PM PST with USA v. Switzerland. Here are your weekend Olympic links:

Jeff Carter arrived in Vancouver today with other NHL Olympic players and is in a wait and see mode with being told if he will be on Team Canada

Ryan Getzlaf played tonight against Edmonton getting 2 goals and 2 assists and had 19:28 minutes of ice time

Crosby blocked a slapshot with his foot from Kevin Kline of the Nashville Predators, but didn't miss a shift during the remainder of the game

Expressen via CTV is reporting that Holmstrom's knee injury has forced him to withdraw from Team Sweden and is to be replaced with his Detroit Red Wings teammate Johan Franzen

Vanity Fair is running articles on the Winter Olympics, although not heavy on hockey content (well they do look at Swedish Hockey Studs), they did have an article on how the Latvian hockey team can't wait to party once they've finished their games. They are also excited about the free McDonald's in the Olympic Village

The Goalie Guild has the photos for Jonas Hiller's Olympic Hockey mask for the Swiss Team
