Sochi shootout star T.J. Oshie made his stance clear on NHL participation in the PyeongChang Olympics.
“One hundred percent, we should be there,” Oshie said before Christmas, according to the Washington Post. “I think it’s just important for hockey. I think it’s our responsibility in the stage that we’re at and the impact that we have on the game. I think it’s our responsibility to play in that tournament and represent our country.”
In Sochi, Oshie was called on five straight times in a sudden-death shootout in a group-play game against Russia.
