Anze Kopitar of the Los Angeles Kings is the only member of an NHL team who will play in the coming Olympics for Team Slovenia. Most of Slovenia's players come from European leagues; forward Jan Mursak played a bit for the Detroit Red Wings before leaving to play for CSKA Moscow of Russia's KHL. Slovenia is in a tough group with host Russia, Slovakia and the United States. Matjaz Kopitar, Anze's father, is Team Slovenia's head coach, and he is realistic about his squad's chances. "We play the first three games against the teams where Olympic medals mean something. They already had Olympic medals and we are big underdogs," the senior Kopitar said. "But that doesn't mean that we're not going to compete hard. That's the way we play. If you are not skilled enough, you need to find another way how to compete against these teams. My biggest wish is just to be a competitive team and try our best."
