Hockey not popular in Sweden? Gooby pls. Aftonbladed and other Swedish newspapers are full of it. Always picking on Finland how Sweden has won this and that and how you are better than Finns. And yes Sweden has accomplished a lot. I have huge respect for Swedish hockey players. Some really legendary ones. Forsberg, Naslund, Sundin etc. All great ones. Not to forget Finland has Kurri, Tikkanen, Selänne and Koivu brothers etc. But those players are just the tip of an iceberg. I think we have a great youngish team with exceptional coaching now. Sweden had 16 NHL players and they failed at quarter finals... Well bad luck... Or was it?
