hallelujahlogic 1 Report post Posted February 17, 2009 haha thank you so much for posting this! i knew i couldn't have been the only one already psyched for the winter games. tre kronor will medal in 2010 for sure. the real question is if they can beat team canada or not.. this is a lot of speculation, but still really interesting and worth a read for sure: http://www.gunaxin.com/2010-vancouver-wint...h-slovakia/3949 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norrisnick 1 Report post Posted February 18, 2009 I kinda got hung up on this sentence. Will the greatest Swedish player in NHL history return for his fourth bid for Olympic gold and his 18th time representing Sweden in international competition? Mats Sundin the greatest Swedish player in NHL history? Right... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted February 18, 2009 I kinda got hung up on this sentence. Mats Sundin the greatest Swedish player in NHL history? Right... Yeah, that part made me do a double take as well. Lidstrom, Forsberg and Salming all rank above him in my opinion, for different reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jocke 53 Report post Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Is indeed a great article. They are making one about each team during some days. Good reading Edited February 18, 2009 by Jocke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mindfly Report post Posted February 18, 2009 I'm not watching a whole lot of Games with Rögle in the SEL but isn't Kenny Jönsson pretty decent as well? Shouldn't he be on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jocke 53 Report post Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) I'm not watching a whole lot of Games with Rögle in the SEL but isn't Kenny Jönsson pretty decent as well? Shouldn't he be on? Kenny Jönsson and maybe Marcus Ragnarsson should be there from Elitserien. Also missing Weinhandl and Mårtensson from KHL. I also think Tobias Enström is worthy of a spot.

I also think Tobias Enström is worthy of a spot. Ragnarsson, Weinhandl and Mårtensson have no business being in the Olympic squad imo. Atleast not if there aren't a s***load of injuries and/or players declining their spot. Jönsson might be there, but there probably won't be room for Enström, although he'd be fun to see. A player that must be in the team though is Douglas Murray. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
