7 Red Wings Playing for Gold Medal

It's amazing to me that 7 Red Wings are playing for Sweden tomorrow for the gold medal. I think it says something about the make-up of the Wings and why they continue to be legitimate contenders for the Stanley Cup.

After a quick check of both rosters, I can find four names on both: Tomas Holmstrom, Nicklas Lidstrom, Mikael Samuelsson and Henrik Zetterberg. Other Red Wings who are from Sweden but are not listed on the Olympic roster: Johan Franzen and Andreas Lilja. Can you list them for us, anrobins?

I'm sorry, I'm getting my facts mixed up. It was early this morning and my son kept me up most of the night last night. Niklas Kronwall, is the 5th Wings player on the Swedish team. There were seven Wings among the four semi-final teams.

Still it was quite the perfromance from wings players today. Zetterberg, Kronwall, and Lidstrom scored Sweden's three goals while Holmstrom played masterfully in his typical role in front of the net.
