oh hey ... what is the canadian alex steen doing on this roster

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Nice to see Hagelin make it!

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Not enough Red Wings IMO.

Not enough Red Wings IMO.

Only one old guy per team.

I think King Henrik gets to use the bigger pads at the Olympics, doesn't he?

[IndyAndy]

No Jonas Brodin?

Oh, well: Maybe next time.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

No Hedman? Is he injured?

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Also I'm mildly surprised that Robin Lehner was left off the team.

 

[Cobiemonster]

This team is really good

I think this is the team to beat along with Canada.

That blueline is just ridiculous.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

caman Henrik Sedin

"I dont think we have the kind of team like Canada or Russia or even the US, at least on paper"

dripping with cliche'd modesty



/unless he knows he will miss the olympics and the rest of the season

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

I hope Hags skates on the top line with Zetts and Alfie or with the Sedins. His speed on that open ice is going to make this team so dangerous. I'm excited to watch them.

Wasn't taking face-offs the other night - Shoulder/arm/wrist/general body soreness?

the Loui Eriksson/Sedin line pretty much won Sweden the iihf worlds last spring

the Loui Eriksson/Sedin line pretty much won Sweden the iihf worlds last spring

So hopefully he skates with Alfie and Zetts.

splints on 2 fingers.

 

[xalbox]

Alfie is said to have a powerplay play only role. My bet is that Bäckström/Steen/Zetterberg and Sedin/Sedin/Louie will form the top lines.
