Really glad for Backlund.
Even though we make fun of the sisters I feel a bit bad for Sedin, this would probably have been his last shot at the Olympics.

This would be fantastic, he's playing great right now and would definitely deserve it.

Where R U Chris O'Sullivan?
Edit: Sorry that isn't fair. You did accurately predict he would be playing in Russia in 2014.

What a turnaround from Backs this year. Starts off in the doghouse barely getting the chance to centre the 4th line for Calgary to getting an "A" on his jersey and being named to the Swedish Olympic Team in a month's time.

#canucks Captain Henrik Sedin confirms that the Swedish reports are true. He will miss 2014 Olympics due to injury.

If Lundqvist plays the way Lundqvist usually plays that may not be true no matter how good Canada is. Canada is by far the best team on paper, but they still have to play the games.

Here's hoping, he deserves it.

Mikael Backlund is quite a story. Remarkable turnaround season, has vaulted him into the Olympic Games for Sweden replacing Henrik Sedin.
|
Is Roger confirming this, or is he just basing it off of other reports?

Analytics folks have been talking about how good Backlund is for years. Now he's red hot and on the Olympic team.

Just talked to #Flames C Mikael Backlund. If he, indeed, is headed to Sochi, it's news to him. Hasn't heard anything yet.
