On 27 February 2012, Lundqvist extended his own record as he became the first NHL goalie to win at least 30 games in his first seven seasons in a 2-0 shutout win over the New Jersey Devils at Madison Square Garden.

Your sound logic is astonishing. A Swedish goalie is in the Stanley Cup Final too, if you want to use that argument. My goalie argument is working because Bob McKenzie along with all the Canadian experts says that Canada's starting goalie for the Olympic is the biggest concern. If you think you know better than Bob, be my guest. You know that Lundqvist are the best goalie in the NHL? Vezina Trophy winner 2012, and for the record he is a SWEDE. Price is leaking pucks like a sieve.

You've posted that on other videos too. You're being too proud, and the stats of registered players mean nothing. Yes, Slovakia has good hockey players. Your country obviously have a good program that develops skilled players from a young age so they can compete. Any of the top hockey nations could put together one good team and be competitive, and sometimes beat Canada's best. It's one game. Hockey is like that. A hot goalie can make a difference, maybe bad calls by the ref, all kinds of factors. But I am glad Slovakia reached that level.That's what Canada wanted when they were selling the game to the world 50 years ago. The 70s showed us how great the Soviets became. But remember, Canada could put together 3 to 5 teams teams today that could play in the Olympics and have a shot at winning gold.

[@majko141]

I rather have 48 good Swedish players with high CAP-hits in the NHL than 350 average Canadians. To be honest, there are no more than 50 Canadian players in the NHL that have talent out of the ordinary Crosby, Stamkos, Giroux, Letang, Seguin, Tavares etc. maybe 20 Swedes in the same category as those. You might want to ask yourself, why Canada with all that "talent" yet fail to develop good goalies? Goalies in Canada are a synonym with inconsitency or collapse. Especially in the WJC...
