Forsberg has been named to the team. Kronwall and Zetterberg have as well, but both are expected to return before they start. Franzen wasn't named. Being out 4 months would take him right up to the start of the Olympics.

Defenders:
Tobias Enstrom (Atlanta Thrashers/NHL), Magnus Johansson (Linkopings HC), Niklas Kronwall (Detroit Red Wings/NHL), Nicklas Lidstrom (Detroit Red Wings/NHL), Douglas Murray (San Jose Sharks/NHL), Johnny Oduya (New Jersey Devils/NHL), Henrik Tallinder (Buffalo Sabres/NHL), Mattias Ohlund (Tampa Bay Lightning/NHL)

Forwards:
Daniel Alfredsson (Ottawa Senators/NHL), Nicklas Backstrom (Washington Capitals/NHL), Loui Eriksson (Dallas Stars/NHL), Peter Forsberg (MODO Hockey), Tomas Holmstrom (Detroit Red Wings/NHL), Patric Hornqvist (Nashville Predators/NHL), Fredrik Modin (Columbus Blue Jackets/NHL), Samuel Paahlsson (Columbus Blue Jackets/NHL), Daniel Sedin (Vancouver Canucks/NHL), Henrik Sedin (Vancouver Canucks/NHL), Mattias Weinhandl (Dynamo Moscow/RUS), Henrik Zetterberg (Detroit Red Wings/NHL)

Mikael Samuelsson, when asked by Vancouver media on what he thought of not being selected: "I'm probably going to get in trouble for this, but [Swedeish management] can go fuck themselves." :Butch:

Modin gets the nod over Samuelsson AND Huselius!? WTF???

I don't understand going with Henrik Tallinder over Niklas Hjalmarsson either.

Yup. After playing for a while in Sweden, he played one season in Grand Rapids with a brief stop in Toledo of the ECHL, then packed it in and went home.

Why is Naslund being such a wuss and not playing? Isn't he riding shotgun with Foppa right now?

What about the AHL man with the NHL contract, Michael Nylander?

I believe he became active too late and wasn't on their original list.

Yep. He said when he came back that the Olympics were impossible, he was just doing it for Modo.

Samuelsson may still be called upon to play for Team Sweden... Seriously, Modin over Samuelsson?

Apparently Swedish Olympic officials didn’t go “bleep themselves,” as Canuck Mikael Samuelsson suggested when they omitted the veteran from the 23-player Olympic roster named in December. They put Samuelsson and Canuck defenceman Alex Edler on an eight-player reserve list in case the Swedish roster changes before the tournament begins Feb. 16.

Edler confirmed he was called by Swedish coach Bengt-Ake Gustafsson and told to stand by. Samuelsson was reportedly contacted by email, although the 33-year-old refuses to discuss it. Nearly every significant Swedish player has spoken publicly in support of Samuelsson, who was on the 2006 gold-medal winning Swedish team.

“We were all surprised he wasn’t on it,” Canuck Daniel Sedin said recently of the 2010 roster. “Everyone thought he should be.”

Johan Franzen may end up at the Olympics after all.

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that Swedish Olympic team coach Bengt-Ake Gustafsson has asked Franzen to contact him following Tuesday night's Red Wings' game against the St. Louis Blues to give him an update on his status after a lengthy absence.
