SPECULATION: Mikael Backlund named to Sweden Olympic Team?

Way to go Backs!

Eat crow all you non believers!!!

So happy for him. He really deserves it.

Did you guys not read the latest posts...?

Backs himself confirms on twitter now, no replacement named, he hasn't not heard anything from the swedish management.

Sounds like he is one of the people being considered (can't confirm). Just because he wasn't named as a reserve doens't mean he can't go. His recent play surely has put him on the radar.

Ok, well I have to close this down until there is indeed confirmation.
