What makes Klefbom and Ekholm better than Edler, Hjalmarsson, Lindholm, Hedman, Strålman, Kronwall, Oduya, Karlsson, Enström, Brodin?

Loui - maybe, but he should not make it IMO. Klingberg is good but we have better options.

Lander and Rask? We have Kruger, Söderberg, Zetterberg, Sedin, Bäckström, Berglund, Backlund, Zibanejad, Rakell.


After this game I am not so sure we have so much better, Klingberg was a lot better than OEL in this game. Even if we lost, I do have to say I was very impressed by Klingberg today, he was dominating out there. So if he just repeats in NHL he should absolutly be very very close. Otherwise I agree.
 
Congrats to Sweden. You got really good team, even without Sedins, Karlsson, Backstrom, Lundkvist and etc.
When it was 3:3 i was really sad. Yesterday Caps were eliminated and now that.
But hockey gods had mercy on me.
Anyway good game and team.
 
Radulov, Zaripov, Zaitzev, Denisov, Grigorenko


Radulov maybe, the other ones, I do not see them making a big difference compared to what you had. Plus many of them seems to have been available, and even if they where big difference makers, it is still nothing compare to what we are missing. But I do not like useing that as a excuse, we had the team we had, and when we had many of our best in 2012, we ****ed it up in the q-final anyway.

Radulov & Grigorenko and Mozyakin & Zaripov play in the same lines and play much more effective.
Zaytsev and Denisov could strengthen the defence, the weakest thing in this team

The next poster to bring politics into this discussion will be thread banned and infracted. Talk hockey or go to the political forum.
 
Half of those didn't play in Sochi. Also in Sochi we had bad coach.
But fact is fact Sweden lost to Russia in WC and also on U-20 and U-18 levels.

Sweden beated you also in the U-20... was only in the elemination round we choked.
 
Radulov, Kuznetsov, Datsuk, Ovechkin, Kucherov, Namestnikov, Nichushkin, Varlamov, Voynoc, Markov, Emelin
Zetterberg,Sedin H, Sedin D, E Karlsson, Hedman, Strålman, Lundqvist, Bäckström, Silverberg, Brodin, Hjalmarsson, Oduya, Kruger, Hagelin, Hörnqvist, Nyqvist, J Ericsson, Franzen, Kronwall S, Kronwall N, Gunarsson, Edler, Backlund, Enström, Grossman, Lindholm H, Nylander, Zibanejad, Söderberg, Grossman, Omark, Fasth and some more I did not think of surely.. Still this was a solid team, they played entertaining hockey, fun to watch. Forsberg, starplayer in the making

Oh come on, some of those not top players and definetelly wouldn't make team Sweden. I just listed the names because someone started to say that this is team A for Russia. It is not. That's it.
