I agree with all those choices, altough I'm surprised there was only 1 Swede.John Flyers Fan said:All tourney team:

Only Lidström has truely shined for sweden IMO. A true team collective where the lines have gotten more balanced ice time than on other teams.Hedberg said:I agree with all those choices, altough I'm surprised there was only 1 Swede.

But what the HELL has Sweden done on the world stage until today?
He was amazing in the defensive play. He really washed my doubts about his size away, he CAN clear the crease of huge opponentsHNIC said:Looks about right.
I'm a little surprised at Timonen, though. Granted, I think I only watched four of the Finnish games, but I didn't think he was that great. Good, but not all-star quality.
Does World Cup count? That leaves a foul taste in my mouth...SectionX said:the ranking started in 2003, and since sweden took silver 2003, 2004 and 4th place in 2005. (or did we take bronze?)
still we choked in world cup 2004. But I guess everybody else was a lil inconsistant as well.

It sure shouldn't. It's a pure exhibition tournament.SectionX said:I am not sure it does.
Naah... I'd say it's the nhl-world championships. And it's also a best-of-best tournament.mattihp said:It sure shouldn't. It's a pure exhibition tournament.

If the best aren't allowed because of the NHL, it's not a best-of-best tournament.Matti_A said:Naah... I'd say it's the nhl-world championships. And it's also a best-of-best tournament.
The euro-hockey tour is the exhibition tournament imo.
