I have two questions:

Firstly, what kind of excuse is this?

TSN.ca said:
Stars Mats Sundin and Nicklas Lidstrom said earlier that they wouldn't play while Peter Forsberg is injured.
What does Forsberg being injured have to do with these guys playing? What a weird excuse.

Secondly, anyone know why Ohlund isn't on the team?

Looks like a fairly solid group, Lundqvist will surprise a lot of people I think.

I think they are two different statements that got jammed together. It's more like:

-Sundin and Lidstrom ahve said they won't play

-Forsberg won't play because he's injured

Sweet, Yared Hagos made the team.. I assume he's taking on the defensive/shutdown center role of his team?
I only saw him in one world juniors but when i saw him i said to myself....there's a guy who's pretty raw but could play in the nhl some day.Never a star but a nice all around player........if you wanna coach him.I'm talking about Hago's here.
 
Personally I am really impressed by Hagos, but right now he seems to be the odd man out. Zetterberg, Jönsson, H. Sedin & Påhlsson are ahead of him on the deapth chart...

Overall the defense isn't bad, but IMO it is gooing to take allot to actually win a WC with that D-crop. It isn't impossible but if we had Tjärnqvist and Tärnström we would have had a fair shoot, now...
 
Any chance of Kronwall being named to the team now that the Griffins missed the playoffs?

Pretty big chance of that happening, as far as I know they left a spot open for him. But I've heard that Kronwall has been in and out of the lineup the last few games, possibly injuries?

I might be wrong but I had heard they were very minor. That he was supposed to return soon.

:cry: :banghead:

Unbelievable, Nordström and Höglund hasn't done jack this season and especially in the playoffs. Kahnberg on the other hand is one of the few pure goal scores we have got.

I agree, its sad.. :shakehead

Let's not hope BÅG is a Färjestads-Hardy. Inviting players just because he trained them himself at one time or another. Though I wouldn't scratch JJ, both Nordström and Höglund could easily be replaced by someone else.

I agree there. Jönsson is good and he's a leader, he can be on my team any day.
 
News for non-swedes:

Jörgen Jönsson will be the captain with Henrik Zetterberg and Mattias Norström as alternates. Kronwall will join the team on Thursday.
