The Keith-Seabrook pairing to me seems like a solid choice since their chemistry is amazing and valued. In a short tournament like this, chemistry is extremely important and why not slot in a defense pairing that already have a lot of chemistry?
Team Sweden's roster was named today, I'm quite shocked that they left out Samuelsson and Huselius who seemed like they were both going to be named. Nope, instead Forsberg (kind of a questionable decision to me and is a HUGE gamble for Sweden) is put in and even Fredrik Modin who has only played 8 games this season lodging in 1pt made it over Samuelsson & Huselius. Another mini-surprise to me was Alexander Edler missing. He didn't have a great start and struggled early for quite a bit but I think he's picked up his game a bit and hasn't been a liability. Oh well, good luck to Sweden and everyone else in the tourney!
