I know Lehner got player of the game for Sweden, but if you had to choose someone else from Sweden other than him, who would it have been?
I'd go with Lander.
Can someone tell me how our #1 overall pick played tonight (Larsson)?
He was alright, I'd say Adam was probably the second best defenseman after Erixon. He got involved offensively a few times and had a couple of really good shots from the point, but couldn't get anything past Shikin.
He did let a Russian forward go around him once in the defensive zone and certainly looked like a teenager on that play. Fortunately, Lehner bailed him out.
Was Lehner even at the 2010 WJC? Don't remember hearing about him because Markstrom was the main goalie
He didn't play, but was the third goalie a year ago. Markström was the starting goaltender while Anders Nilsson was the backup.
Now Lehner is the starting goaltender, Pettersson-Wentzel the backup and Gustafsson the third goalie. Gustafsson has a '92 birthday, so he is expected to be back next year.
