Well, what's interesting is that this season in the NHL (notably the past 4 months) Nabokov has been the most consistently good in net that he's been in his entire career- a month ago he had 6 straight starts where he gave up only 1 goal; streak of 11 straight road wins; the other night he set a career high in saves with 50-... Yet, the standard questions are arising. Can he elevate himself in big games? History says no, and he doesn't have the D to bail him out in these games. I haven't heard much talk about Sweden as I would have expected, but, as you pointed out, they are as legitimate a threat as anyone else there.

And you're surrounded by the ones you blah
Death shows up... anddd blah, blah, blah.
