Enström said no to the Olympics. Doesn't that pretty much mean that he's done with the national team forever?

Yep, would be really surprised if he accepted an invite. Hell, I wouldn't even be surprised if he wasn't invited at all. Will keep him on the available list until its confirmed that he either declines/retires from NT/gets snub though

Elias Lindholm said he hasn't heard anything from Sweden in regards to playing in the WC, and "I don't think they want me" (playfully).

Lindholm should have been given a chance to make the team last year (maybe he was injured). I'd be shocked if he didn't get a call.
 
Just SIGN on the dotted line!

Not a good start for Sweden and Alsenfelt in the game against Denmark, 1-0 after two minutes.
 
Axelsson will never change. Dangle past 2 players, lose the puck, opponent counterattack, repeat. Feels like ive seen it a million times.

And considering how he looked last time before the injury mårts probably already gave him a minsk freecard.

Say what you will, but Mikael Backlund always accepts when Team Sweden comes calling. And in my opinion always play well. Mr Sweden!

Who the **** wants to go to White Russia?? Berglund (Mr. WC) and Karlsson will keep us in the A-gruppen. Zibby scores the bronze goal.

Both might have some unfinished business with the staff, but what do I know?
