Lunqvist Named Swedish Goalie
This is relatively old news, and unsurprising news, but Henrik Lundqvist has been named the starting goalie for the Swedish Olympic team. In the 2006 Olympics, Lundqvist backed the Swedish team to a gold medal. Although the 2010 Swedish team will lack Mats Sundin, they are making up for it with new comer Niklas Backstrom.
I get the feeling that Sweden will be defending their gold in the medal round this year, possibly against Canada.

Only after at least one game at the Olympics I can say if Henrik will be able to defend his 2006 gold medal. As I mentioned in my post Team to stop Russia in 2010 Olympics?, it will be hard to stop Russian offense in Vancouver.

Team to stop Russia in 2010 Olympics?

It’s going to be a fantastic Olympics for sure. The Czech team is good, the Slovak team is good too. Team USA may surprise some teams as well.
But that’s why they play the game.
Nice blog by the way, keep up the good work.
