Despite injury, Alfie named as member of Swedish Olympic team

The man, the myth, the legend... Alfie. Named to Sweden's Olympic team for the 4th straight time.

Would be nice to see him recovery quickly and be able to represent Sweden.

EDIT: My mistake on the Captaincy... I mis-read the title... my bad.

Awesome! Do they stand a chance, though?

Yeh they do.... Lundqvist will have to play ligths out but they do have some talent.... Backstrom, Sedin's, Zetterberg etc... They are the defending champs ... Not the best roster on paper but they do stand a chance...

Really? I've seen people say Lidstrom's got the C (which makes just as much if not more sense).

Wait, where's this captaincy thing coming from in the report? It just says he's been named to the team for the fourth straight time. He's obviously going to get at least an Alternate Captaincy but I don't see definitely that he's gotten the C.

Anyway, it definitely wouldn't be his fourth straight time as captain, since Sundin was captain in 2006 when they won gold (Alfredsson leading the team in points).

According to CTV, Lidstrom is in fact captain...

That makes more sense. He's older and the best European player of all time.

Alfredsson's gotta be a lock for an A, though.

My bad my bad... I mis-read the title... Ottawa's Captain named to Swedish Olympic team... and I jumped to the conclusion...

Title fixed.

Yeah that makes much more sense.

Eminent sense.

Indeed.
