rage 24 Report post Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Sweden Wins Gold Medal *Wings Players Dominate* Told ya!! Current mood: ecstatic Category: Sports Just wanted to say how happy I am that Sweden Won the Gold Medal in Men's Ice Hockey today. As some of you may know, there were 5 Detroit Red Wings on Team Sweden's Roster. Nicklas Lidstrom Henrik Zetterberg Tomas Holmstrom Niklas Kronwall Mikael Samuelsson Sweden beat Finland by a score of 3-2. All three of Sweden's goals came from Red Wing Players, including Nicklas Lidstrom's Game-Winning goal 10 seconds into the 3rd Period. Henrik Zetterberg scored the first goal of the goals, and Niklas Kronwall scored the second. Nicklas Lidstrom then blasted a rocket from over 50 feet away that was just inches under the top cross-bar, possibily even grazing it, on a 4 on 4 powerplay. That goal sealed the game and captured the Gold Medal for Team Sweden, thier first since 1994. Nicklas Lidstrom was by far the most dominate player on the ice the entire game long, going to show why he is the best Defensmen in the entire World. This was a remarkable team, and they were so fun to watch. The favorites to win the Gold this year were Canada, Czech Republic, and Russia. Not to many people picked Sweden to win Gold, none that I know of matter of fact. But I did. This was one of my favorite hockey teams of all time, and I am proud to say that they won the Gold Medal today. Now let's hope the Swedish winning way continues thourgh the rest of the NHL Season, where Detroit can bring Lord Stanely home, where it belongs, here in Hockeytown.

That means a better chance for Canada or USA to win gold. Or USA? Bah. Canada, Sweden or Russia. Otherwise I'm sad. And I'm only supporting Russia out of loyalty to Fedorov and Datsyuk. And Cleary better make Team Canada... otherwise my loyalties are even more conflicted. I mean Team Sweden is basically the Red Wings plus some guys they would've drafted if they could've picked higher (man I'm jealous we don't have Eriksson). And by the way- if you go to the original Swedish article linked to on Mlive it lists Zetterberg right up at the top of the 34 players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nev 1,085 Report post Posted July 25, 2009 Have people suddenly become Team Sweden fans? Well, since Great Britain won't be getting the chance in 2010 to recapture the Gold that they won in 1936, I guess its back to rooting for Sweden again. Russia will be fun to watch, and as usual I hope Canuckistan falls flat on its face due to its insufferably arrogant fans (sorry LGWers from north of the border).

Guest mindfly Report post Posted July 25, 2009 Several players that aren't available aren't on that 34players list, backstrom, sedins etc arent on it either they couldnt attend but they will be on later... just relax.. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted July 25, 2009 Yep this is just a very preliminary list that doesn't really mean a lot. I do think it's good to see that Ericsson and Larsson are on there though. Larsson doesn't have that much of a chance of making the team, but Ericsson might. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 5,152 Report post Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Those are great! Hell, on the Zetterberg goal, the only non Red Wing out there was Backman! Nice! (well prior to Sammy leaving too!) edit: also, who else is in favor of putting the dots over the players "O" on the NHL jersey as well? Even spell the names like they are supposed to be spelled (the Russians for example) and even the other nationalities, the accent, hyphens or whatever elese they are called! How do I get my keyboard to type those letters? Edited July 25, 2009 by LeftWinger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted July 25, 2009 Better add Nik's goal too... Hell yeah, I was just going to add it Kronwall, assisted by Zetterberg and with Homer in front of the net. It doesn't get much better than that. edit: also, who else is in favor of putting the dots over the players "O" on the NHL jersey as well?

Rmac111 2 Report post Posted July 25, 2009 http://blog.mlive.com/snapshots/2009/07/dy...s_jiri_hud.html Update 5:02 AM: Henrik Zetterberg was named to the preliminary roster, but the Sedins, Mikael Samuelsson, and Nicklas Backstrom were left off the roster, and there's no doubt that they'll crack Sweden's official list, which, again, won't come out until mid-to-late September. Gustafsson's current roster is just a preliminary list, but it's good to see Larsson on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
