Sweden's Olympic history:
Gold in 1994.
Silver in 1964.
Bronze in 1988, 1984, 1980, 1952.
Strenghts:
Colorado's Peter Forsberg and Toronto's Mats Sundin are only the tip of the iceberg on this talented team.
Weaknesses:
Goaltending, goaltending, goaltending.
Chances:
If the goalies step up, Sweden will fight for gold.
"Sweden will win," Sweden's Mattias Norstrom said. "I think we can upset a couple of teams. This is not a series. It's one game and how you feel for that day. There is a lot of pressure on Team Canada from back home and on Team USA from the World Cup. Those guys can't go home with bronze."
