MILAN — Everyone has seen the TV commercial.<\/p>\n
Juuse Saros<\/a> sits in the Nashville Predators locker room with teammate Ryan O’Reilly<\/a>.<\/p>\n Saros, the Predators goalie, is laser-focused while O’Reilly starts a conversation about their financial futures and goals.<\/p>\n “No goals,” Saros says.<\/p>\n O’Reilly asks him his goals about retirement.<\/p>\n “No goals,” Saros says again, eyes fixed straight ahead.<\/p>\n Investment portfolio?<\/p>\n “No goals,” again from Saros.<\/p>\n “What about new home?” O’Reilly asks.<\/p>\n “No goals,” Saros says.<\/p>\n O’Reilly says, “Good talk, I’ll see you on the ice.”<\/p>\n As he walks away, Saros let’s out one more “no goals,” almost in a whispered hush.<\/p>\n The spot was first aired in 2023, and three years later, Saros still is reminded of it.<\/p>\n “Back in the [United] States, I hear it quite a bit,” Saros said Monday. “So, whoever wrote those lines, they did a good job. At least people remember it.”<\/p>\n Asked if he ever says that to himself during a game, Saros said, “Maybe I have to try that.”<\/p>\n From the way he’s playing at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, he appears to be heeding his own advice.<\/p>\n In Finland’s three preliminary games, Saros had a 1.34 goals-against average and .946 save percentage. In the three games, he’s won two of them and has allowed just four goals.<\/p>\n “He’s really been big. If not the best, he’s one of the best goalies in the world,” forward Mikael Granlund<\/a> said. “I’ve known him for a long time, I know what he can do out there. He can win games by himself, so it’s great to have a guy like that in your net.”<\/p>\n The 30-year-old hasn’t allowed a goal in the past 95:21 at the Olympics, a big reason why Finland finished fourth in the preliminary round and has a bye into the quarterfinals on Wednesday, where it will play the winner of the qualification playoff between between No. 5 Team Switzerland and No. 12 Team Italy on Tuesday (6:10 a.m. ET; Peacock, ICI Tele, CBC Gem).<\/p>\n
