Good choice. Can anyone think of a better choice?

[Son of a Wing 1,644]

There's no one else even close.

There's no one else even close.

Alfie is the other option, but yes Z should have it.

Alfie is the other option, but yes Z should have it.

For sure I understand that. But he wasn't even on the prelim. roster nor has he been given word yet as far as being on the team. I know it had to do with waivering on retirement but i don't know. Guess I'm bias towards Z.

[Bryguy 103]

Yeah Z's clutch, easy decision.

I totally agree, possibly have that same bias toward Z. On a side note if Alfie continues in the form he's had with us so far he surely has to make the Olympic squad?

[RedWang 422]

His heart and leadership by example are second to none in this league.

No no no, make it a co-captaincy and give it to the sisters.

Yeah I have no doubt he'll make it if he continues to play this well. He's a clutch guy and not many swedes have his kind of shot.

Franzen-Z-Alfie

Sedin-Sedin-Eriksson

Steen-Backstrom-Hagelin

potential top 9.

[Red Wings Addict 787]

I'm totally in favor of Z for the Swede C.

I'm just a little surprised because I thought the powers that be for Team Sweden would want someone like Henrik Sedin.

[Son of a Wing 1,644]

Sweden is going to be strong. Especially their defence. Its hard to beat an Ekman-Larsson, Karlsson pairing on international ice.

Not to mention Brodin, Kronwall, Edler, Hedman, Hjalmarsson, Oduya, and Ericsson.

[Red Wings Addict 787]

Hoping for a Russia versus Sweden match up for the Gold!

Pav versus Z!

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

Lilja got robbed.

Apparently, looking like Leonidas from 300 doesn't scream leadership enough.

I'd go:

Kronwall-Ericsson

Karlsson-OEL

Edler-Brodin

Could see Hedman taking Ericsson's or Brodin's spot but I don't like him on big ice.

[FireCaptain 563]

The problem with this is... head-to-head I think Pav OWNS Z. All those disgusting things we see him do to other teams? Yeah, now he has to do them to Z.

Hoping for a Russia versus Sweden match up for the Gold!

Pav versus Z!

[frankgrimes 1,836]

Good choice if true, the only other obvious one should have been Henrik Sedin or maybe the King.

[Ekmanc 586]

My guess is that Z will get the C and Henrik Sedin and Alfie will get the A:s.

Yeah I have no doubt he'll make it if he continues to play this well. He's a clutch guy and not many swedes have his kind of shot.

Franzen-Z-Alfie
Sedin-Sedin-Eriksson
Steen-Backstrom-Hagelin

potential top 9.

I think the coach of Team Sweden has already said that he wants Sedin and Bäckström as the two first centres so you will see Z on the wing of a line with Z-Bäckström-Franzén most likely.
