"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; It's now likely that Ryan Miller will sit in Sochi, at least early on. (Bill Wippert/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By\u00A0Allan Muir&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;An annotated guide to this morning's must-read hockey stories:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Team USA's Ryan Miller\u00A0picked a lousy time\u00A0to allow 10 goals in five periods. He hasn't had much help from the Sabres' tissue-paper defense, but he hasn't been sharp, either. It's now looking more likely that Jonathan Quick will get the first two starts in Sochi.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Lightning fans were hoping that\u00A0Martin St. Louis gets the call to replace his injured teammate. They got their wish.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Ken Campbell says that this player, not St. Louis, is the right choice for Canada.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 There's no sugar-coating it, writes Mark Spector. The loss of Steven Stamkos\u00A0is a disaster for Team Canada.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 It turns out that Team Canada won't be sleeping three to a room in Sochi after all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Finland is still waiting for word on the availability of Mikko Koivu. The Wild's captain won't receive medical clearance in time to join Minnesota for its pre-Olympic finale tonight, but Patrick Reusse says that shouldn't stop Koivu from competing for his homeland.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The American women's team had a VIP interaction yesterday in Sochi. No, it wasn't with Rob Ford.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Not everyone is in love with the idea of shutting down the NHL for the Olympic Games.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Teammates say that a more mature Alex Ovechkin is managing the twin pressures of being the face of Russia for the Olympic Games and keeping the Capitals in playoff contention.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Canada's women's team  is a mess heading into the Sochi tournament, but former captain Hayley Wickenheiser could still make her sixth trip to the Games  her best one yet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 If you went to bed early, you missed a heck of a game between the NHL's two top clubs. Maybe this will be the moment that turns the season around for a Blackhawks team that has looked a bit uninspired of late.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The decision of a football-playing father to forbid his son from following in his athletic footsteps is paying off for this Wild rookie.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 David Krejci has been the leading playoff scorer in two of the last three years, but only this season has he figured out how to become an 82-game player.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Kevin Dupont says that the absence of this vital quality could keep the Bruins from being a true Stanley Cup contender.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Nikolai Kulemin has no interest in leaving the Maple Leafs, but the UFA could be on the move ahead of the trade deadline just the same.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Check out Flames prospect Emile Poirier absolutely posterizing Carl Neill with one of the sweetest double dekes you'll see this year:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtzXUta56wo&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The Coyotes will have to deal with a trademark squatter before they can change their team name next season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The end of parity between the U.S. and Canadian dollars  could have a dramatic effect on the way the NHL's Canadian teams operate in the future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 John Tortorella's job is safe\u00A0\u2026 for now, anyway.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Better hide this one from the #fancystats kids: Calgary is blocking more shots than any team other than the Canadiens, a sure sign of their improvement.\n\u2022 According to the fine folks at TMZ, this is what a retired hockey player spent half a million bucks on.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
