This is relatively old news, and unsurprising news, but Henrik Lundqvist has been named the starting goalie for the Swedish Olympic team. In the 2006 Olympics, Lundqvist backed the Swedish team to a gold medal. Although the 2010 Swedish team will lack Mats Sundin, they are making up for it with new comer Niklas Backstrom.

I get the feeling that Sweden will be defending their gold in the medal round this year, possibly against Canada.
