There is one word to describe this year's Sweden squad: REVENGE!
After last year's disappointment of failing to win a medal (losing the bronze medal game to Martin Réway's Slovakia) every player is determined to show that last year was an anomaly. There is the obvious feeling that they want to turn the tables on host Finland, who beat Sweden in the championship game two years ago in Malmö.
Gold is the expectation for the Swedish players, pundits, and general population, and with the roster that will take to the ice in Helsinki, expectations should be nothing less.
