WC teams presentation: Team Sweden

WC teams presentation: Team SwedenAhead of us is expected hockey feast. World Cup of Hockey in Toronto is coming, let's gradually introduce all the teams in terms of Avs fan and widely.

Swedes are from the perspective of a fan Colorado probably the most interesting team in the sense that there is the largest number of players from our favorite team. There are two players playing for the Avs, and Carl Soderberg, who came into Colorado before last season from the Boston Bruins and Gabriel Landeskog, longtime Colorado captain.

For Swedes will play a lot of good players, so I'm sure they will be not lost in the tournament. Although they are not favorit to win this well occupied tournament. The team is composed primarily of experienced players who have the NHL long time experience, so it will not certainly miss them.

Colorado Avalanche forward Carl Soderberg, 30, was the other forward named to the final roster. He had 12 goals and an NHL career-high 51 points in 82 games this season. Sweden, which lost to Canada in the gold-medal game at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, will start its 2016 World Cup experience with training camp in Gothenburg and two scrimmages against Finland before heading to Toronto.
