What about Tomas Holmstrom of the Detroit Red Wings? None of those other ten Swedish heroes has the guts to stand in front of the net and take pucks off his face like the Homer does…not even super-hero Peter Forsberg. Homer at least deserves a “footnote” in hockey history for that bit of guts, doesn’t he??

Alfredson in my opinion should be ranked #2 in Swedish history. Sundin has’nt done anything in the past 3 or 4 years. Did a Toronto fan make this site

I’m a huge Mats Naslund fan. I would have had him a little higher, but I can see your thought process in your picks.
There is an article at NHL Digest.com about my the story of my Mats Naslund autograph. It was my first autograph and I stood outside for an eternity in Winnipeg of all places…man was it cold out!!! I still love that autograph.
