Ok since i made this thread i will vote first.
Canada strongest in net and all around.
BUT that Sweden team is pretty good also, they will give Canada the run for its money.

I think Finland is the weakest team again. Imagine if Selanne wasn't on that team also.

Got nothing to swap: Maybe Laine never mind

Why are Mats Sundin and Peter Forsberg on the second team? I'd clearly have them as the best two Swedes of all time (along with Lidstrom).

US and Finland have their 1st Team and 2nd Team goalies mixed up. MAF shouldn't even be on Team Canada (Luongo's better than both Brodeur and MAF).

What's the selection criteria here? Because Mario Lemieux didn't retire until 2006 and Patrick Roy retired in 2003...but I guess Canada's already running away with it without adding 2 GOATs at their peak.

I stopped reading when I saw Mikko Koivu on there, but not Saku, because I could have swore Saku and Teemu dominated international play. And Filppula? WTF? Mikael Granlund had a better Olympic showing.

Sweden is pretty stacked. I'll pick Canada though.

Thomas was an absolute nut job (might still be), but his peak is up there with the likes of Hasek, Brodeur and Roy. The only thing Quick has over him is longevity. Flip those two. I'm also a little confused about what constitutes 1st and 2nd team for Sweden, because the forwards on the 2nd team are better than the ones on the 1st team (Sundin is arguable, except not for Tre Kronor, where he's one of the best performers ever).

In fact, I'd say the 1st team for Sweden should be Forsberg-Sundin-Alfredsson-Lidström-Karlsson-Lundqvist.
