Finland breezed to victory in the Bronze Medal Game at the Olympics on Saturday, with a 6-1 victory over Slovakia. But they did it without superstar Mikko Rantanen, who sat out the game with a lower-body injury. Rantanen was hurt in third period of yesterday's game vs Canada.

All season long, we've been hearing rumors of Jordan Kyrou on the trade block for the St. Louis Blues, who are looking to do a major retool.
