Too good to be true

Take 7 gold medals, stir it with 2 silvers and add 5 bronze. Voila, the ingredients for Swedens best Winter Olympics ever. Certainly better than even the most optimistic Swede would ever predict. I'm gonna miss the olympics, that's for damn sure.

In case you've been travelling to another planet (or you're just not interested in ice hockey) - "Tre kronor" won the gold medal 2 days ago. 3-2 against team Finland - our biggest rival - in an olympic final that had (almost) everything. The game winning goal scored by Niklas Lidström (the guy who is known as the best defenseman in the world, but has never really made it in the national team). The assist from Mats Sundin (captain, oh captain) and Peter Forsberg (the greatest). And Henke plays as good as it gets when he manages to save an open netter with 20 seconds to go in the game. Now, consider the fact that this was the last Olympic game ever for many of our greatest players (the top three involved in the goal above) and you have the ingredients to a great game in the best olympics with the happiest of happy endings.
