Jhonas Enroth earned the day off today as Jacob Markstrom (Florida Panthers) got the Team Sweden net against Norway.

Enroth is 2-0 for Sweden with a 1.00 GAA and a .949 save %. He's imade 37 saves on 39 shots thrown at him.


The Swedes received a double-double shot of adrenaline today when expressen.se announced that Daniel and Henrik Sedin will be joining Team Sweden at The Worlds. Tre Kronor GM Tommy Boustedt also announced that Canucks D Alex Edler will be joining Henrik and Daniel at the Worlds.

On Monday night, the Sedins and their Couver Canucks were swepted out of the first round of the NHL playoffs by the San Jose Sharks.

Enroth will be back in net when Sweden plays Canada on Thursday.

The Sedins are expected to be on the ice for that game. They will have to hustle to get all over their ducks in a row so that they can play vs. Canada. The buzz is that Dallas Stars sniper Loui Eriksson will play with the Sedins.

Should be a dandy.

Knowing Jhonas the way I do, I'm sure he'll be stoked to show his former head coach that he's more than capable of playing like a top-flight NHL goalie.

Imagine the horror for Canada if Enroth wins the head to head match-up on Thursday.

In February, Austria battled Germany in the Final Olympic Qualification tournament. The winner would earn a berth in the 2014 Olympic men's hockey tourney at Sochi, Russia. The loser would go home empty handed. In a bizarre twist of fate, Germany defeated Austria in the shootout. However, it failed to earn the Olympic berth because it needed to win in regulation play. talk about a kick in the hockey pants. Germany lost for winning.

On Wednesday, the Germans exacted revenge on the Austrians.

Christian Ehrhoff's squad defeated Thomas Vanek's club 2-0 at the World Championships.

Vanek will have the last laugh as he will be playing in Sochi while Ehrhoff will be watching the tourney on TV.
