Team Sweden Coach Following Franzen Progress

[Finnish Wing 110]

Sedin-Sedin-Weinhandl

Forsberg-Backstrom-Alfredsson

Eriksson-Zetterberg-Holmstrom

Modin-Pahlsson-Hornqvist

I though these were the lines if everyone would be healthy.

If Franzen is a go, I hope he plays on a line with Zetterberg. Beneficial for both Sweden and Detroit.

i believe they are using NHL sized rinks for this olympics

Oh I see! Lets give the Canadian's more of an advantage eh? The Olympic comittee should have old them to f off! Talk about the poor Germans and Latvians, etc.... What an UNFAIR advantage for the NHLr's....

It's a great conditioning stint, exactly what he needs.

I doubt it. It's international hockey, and should be played on an international sized rink.

I am in favor of him playing. I'd like to see him have a chance to win for his country. Other great players get the chance, why not the Mule. If his playoff metamorphosis into Gordie Howe Hockey God-Like performance is any indication, he could blow out the Olympics.

Can you still change the rosters? I mean Jussi Jokinen is third among the Finns in points, but he wasn't chosen...

Only if there is an injury and i believe freddy modin is hurt so they might be looking for someone to fill his spot

Holmstrom is also hurt.

[GORM19 0]

Holmstrom is also hurt.

I no homer is hurt but he will be back for the olympics

[Finnish Wing 110]

Holmstrom is also hurt.

And Forsberg. Maybe even Kronwall.

Some sources say he could miss the Olympics.

Pretty weird that there are no injuries in the Finnish roster right now. Bunch of old guys there, and we led the injury replacements category in 2006 olympic too. We've had many injuries this season, but I'm almost hoping that there could be some minor injury (Immonen for example) so that they could name Jokinen in the roster.

I agree that it should be played on an international sized rink, but it wont be.

2010 Olympic Hockey to be played on North American sized rink.

Fixed. Immonen is a useful player and has been playing lights out in the KHL lately.

Immonen is boring. Peltonen has great chemistry with Jokinen. Peltonen is a great leader. Peltonen carries our flag in the opening day. Peltonen scored a hat-trick in the WC -95 finals. Peltonen's first name is Ville. Peltonen...

It is now confirmed that H.Sedin, Backstrom and Zetterberg will center their own line since Forsberg wants to play on the wing.
