Very disapointing when I watch the rosters. Sweden for example could have nearly all their stars at this tournament, but I see only Zetterberg, Samuelsson and Kronwall. Whats about Sundin, Forsberg, Holmström, Lidström, Norström, Sedin Twins, Salo, Bäckman? Yes, they already have th eplympic gold medal, but the WC is a big tournament, too. Here you can see the real attitude from the players! I guess you can't earn enough money at such a tournament. They want to rest is no reason, they would have plenty time after the tournament and if they had come into the stanleycup finals, the season would have been even longer.
Or what's about Kiprusoff? Finland has actually the best Goalie in the world, but he doesn't want to play for them. Perhaps Finland would had won the gold medal in Torino with him. And now, he doesn't play again for his country. Why is he ******** on Finland? Doesn't the finnish people already hate him?
If in soccer a player doesn't want to play for his country he get banned!
