BÃ…G:s scouting abilities is clearly less than optimal - he didn't even know that Doug Murray was Swedish.
Back to the topic - I'd say go with Tjärnqvist. He is less of a defensive liability than Tärnström.
What this really means is that our top d-men will have a lot of work to do in Turin. It's really thinning out.

One more injury on the defensemen and We're in big trouble.

We can clearly not afford to lose one more of the original seven. And our gameplan now has to be to play our top two pairs a lot. I don't expect to see much of Hävelid and whoever replaces Kronwall in the knockout stage.
Still one of the best top 4s in the tournament, right up there with Canada. Lidstrom and Ohlund are two of the best on the planet. Norstrom and Kenny Jonsson never get the credit they deserve. The 5-7 aren't as strong as Canada, but 1-7, I'd still rate Sweden as No. 2 in the tournament.

Tärnström Dick - Pittsburgh Penguins
Tjärnqvist Daniel - Minnesota Wild
Wallin Niclas - Carolina Hurricanes

Not so much to choose from, it's either Tjärnqvist or Tärnström. I'd go with Tjärnqvist at this moment, he's injuried at the moment but have played better lately.
To bad Henrik Tallinder isn't avaliable.

his injury has pushed him further under the radar. I think he still has the potential to be an elite #1.
losing Kronvall hurts a lot.The original defense(which i thought was on par with any team in the tourney) is thinning out with his and Johnssons departure.Hmm........ 
Zine said:I'm still a bit suspicious about Kenny Jonsson. Is he ready to go against olympic competition after playing with Rogle a year and a half?
Also, from what I've read, he's played fairly mediocre in Euro Hockey Tour games.
Actually he was a standout in his last EHT-tournament.
Our defence went from really good to just okay with Jonsson and Kronwall not making it. I don't think I've ever seen such a defensive play as the way Kronwall played in the last worlds, he was simply that amazing.
If I needed to pick a defencemen from the SEL I would go with Timander. He has got the offensive play, he always makes it simple and is superb in the defence. I've never seen him as good as he currently is. He should be playing the Worlds atleast.
