I'm not feeling good about any of those candidates that could be Sweden's #6 defenseman.

Wow... Eddie O just admitted that the league was being unfair to the Wings and the Avs by making them play right away after the Olympics. Smartest thing that's ever come out of that man's mouth.

Don't have WebSop, thanks anyways Electro!

[titanium2 867]

Great defense by Alfredsson there.

[Electrophile 3,554]

I forgot what it's like to watch good hockey.

[titanium2 867]

Hmm... I don't know about that penalty.

Anyone got a direct quote?

[dat's sick 1,002]

They really need to put Franzen with Forsberg. Hank and Hornqvist just can't finish on his sweet set-ups.

Oh Lids You look so much better in red.

[Electrophile 3,554]

Oh Lids You look so much better in red.

Yeah, but he get his umlauts in this uniform.

Anyone got a direct quote?

I don't know what it was word-for-word but he said something along the lines of "The day after the tournament ends, there are two teams playing back in the states. It's unfair that with the travel and everything they have to come back and play the next day, you would think they could get a day off and it's two teams that can't afford to let any of their players rest, especially the Red Wings who are in tough contention for a playoff spot"

[EuroTwin 240]

Yeah, but he get his umlauts in this uniform.

Mmm, you have an excellent point. Umlauts make up for pretty much everything.

I don't think it's possible for me NOT to root for Sweden at this point, when I see Zetterberg with Lidstrom and Kronwall at the point, I feel like I'm watching the Wings, only Zetterberg isn't playing setup man all the time out there.

[skyphoenix 153]

Lundqvist's helmet is pretty sweet.

[skyphoenix 153]

Sweden is not doing well on the faceoffs from what I've seen.

are the canadian's actually taunting Lundqvist? what are those people chanting?

Hmm, that is interesting.

I don't think it holds much merit since the Wings weren't expected to be in this position when the season started, but is definitely interesting to hear from O.

This 3rd period German surge is interesting, didn't see it coming. They have kicked it up about 10 notches between periods.

Right now I'd much rather see a Forsberg-Zetterberg-Franzen line. The Sedins aren't doing much out there, looks like their recent slump is continuing.

Mattias Weinhandl, serriously what do you think the Sedins will do with Mattias Weinhandl

.

These lines are awful.

The best two shooters on the team are on the third and fourth lines?!?

Forsberg has been out of hockey and is pretty fragile, I would use him more sporadically.

Backstrom is the the greatest playmaker they have not named Sedin. He should be up with Zetter and Alfie setting up their goalscoring ability.

Franzen is the perfect fit with the Sedins. Think about who has been sucessful with them. The large guys with a scoring touch that go to the dirty areas. Mule would set Olympic goalscoring records with them.

The lines are the reason the score is only 2-0.

These are awful lines.

I mean what even about Lidsrom being on the SECOND defensive pairing???

[EuroTwin 240]

Is it bad that I see the number 22 on a hockey player and grit my teeth and think to myself, dammit Lebda, even if not-Lebda hasn't done anything?

[titanium2 867]

Good win for Sweden but I can't help feel disappointed.

kronwall looked good out there, why the hell couldn't he play for the wings a few days ago?

[Electrophile 3,554]

Alright! The Red W....I mean, the Swedes won!
