Yeah, the days of Pronger, Lidstrom, Niedermayer, Keith and Chara winning it are long dead, now you have to be this wheeling, dealing flashy forward behind the forwards to win it.

Great. So Sweden played 6 games and allowed 9 goals against in the typically high scoring affair that is the Olympics.
It must have been brutal on Karlsson keeping the powerhouses of Latvia, Switzerland and Slovenia off the scoresheet.
And 3 of those goals came against Canada in the final scored by Crosby, Toews and Kunitz, so obviously Karlsson wasnt being matched up against the top lines.
