Sweden has the best hockey youth development programs for DEFENESEMAN in my opinion - Like it's said on the show, it is remarkable for little country as us to be spitting out so talented high end defenseman. But it all starts at the youth programs and hockey camps. Not to mention the coaches in Sweden are at the tip of being modern, adaptable and educated. Sure NHL is in a tier of it's own but we're not so far behind ^^ Go Sweden
"Bobby orr excluded" - Ofc the canadian's gonna say that. Always has to be the best. Lidström is easily better than Orr. Orr played in a shitty fucking era.
2017 Sweden had about 2.4 million people (24%) with foreign background, how many of them that weren't yet Swedish citizens I guess is hard to find, 2018 it went down to 19% and last year pretty much the same. Either way I strongly believe the majority are the good kind. Around 20% I think is normal in most multi-cultural countries tho.
Nick Lidstrom definitely set the standard for Swedish hockey players. That Conn Smythe trophy he got in 2002 was well earned!

Hedman, Karlsson, Ekman-Larsson, Ekholm, Klingberg, Dahlin, Hjalmarsson, Edler, Lindholm, Klefbom, Strålman, Larsson, Brodin, Gunnarson. So many good defenders.
It's sad to see Erik Gustafsson be forgotten. 60pts over a season is more than any other swedish D-man
he's been fantastic
true
The points made at 2:32 highlight the impact the KING had on the NHL
RIP "KING" Borje Salming
Swedish federation ? You mean Kingdom of Sweden
No, he mean the Swedish hockey federation.
@@MrFelixify the Swedish ice hockey association you mean. Not a federation still
@@hibbelton whatever. I guess he ment the Swedish hockey system, Not our form of government.
Borje Salmning was not the first eurpean in NHL. Another swede was that. Dont Remember his name though
Inge Hammarström perhaps?
I think it was Ulf Sterner.
A lot of the top defensemen in the world comes from Sweden.
simple.Its Dahlin
"Bobby orr excluded" - Ofc the canadian's gonna say that. Always has to be the best. Lidström is easily better than Orr. Orr played in a shitty fucking era.
It goes Hedman -> Karlsson -> Klingberg -> Ekman-Larsson
i do the same i think but if oel plays with a better team i think he can bee alot better in all categoris
karlsson is done
i'd go hedman > dahlin > gustafsson > karlsson > ekholm > klingberg > ekman-larsson
Just sayin - Karlsson - Klingberg and Dahlin. All from my Frolunda Indians
Natanael Severin fuck Frölunda
Even more impressive since Sweden doesnt have 10 million swedes like they said, but rather 7 million swedes + 3 million "swedes".
lol.
Menar du att Zinbanejad är med dom "svenskar" eller? Eller Nylander som är "svensk"? Burakowski?
Hur många araber, somalier och hazarer ser du i NHL?
Herre-jävla-gud.. måste du yttra dig?
Start playing some sports, find a hobby then come back and be a bit of a more positive guy instead of just whining on the internet.
Sweden has only 6,7 miljon Swedes. The other 3 miljon is migrantes. Ethnic Swedes are leaving the country, as well as a lot of companies.
3 million? Stop lying
Yeah you are really a pack of shit, get you facts right..

Only 1.60 percent of Americans are really americans. 98,4% is of migrated decent.
