well the reason is pretty clear. He (or Dahlén or whomever) felt that not letting a quality defenseman like Tärnström play a single game would not been fair. That is the only (stupid) explanation there can be (unless Ragnarsson had a minor injury, but I guess we would have known about that at this point).

I am 100% sure that the Swedish staff wouldn't have scratched Ragnarsson had this been the quarterfinal instead of a game in the group stage, and in a way that sort of gives out the attitude "this game is not that important".

I think benching one of our best defensive defenders for a powerplay specialist in the most important group game is inexcusable. I wouldn't be complaining if it had been Johnsson or Tjärnqvist that had been on the stands but the fact that it was Ragnarsson bugs the heck out of me.

I actually think that Sundin's line is doing a pretty good job as well. .

Yeah but the problem is that they play alot with Lidström and Johnsson who both were dipsy doodleing around their own blue line with the puck. Lidström finally got his act together in the end when it started to heat up but why on earth do they even start these bad habits.

Yes, Kim had a alot of problems. Seems like alot of players don't want to take the easy way out, take an icing, dump the puck etc..
