During World Cup practices for Team Sweden, Filip Forsberg's line often matched up against the Sedins. When training camp opened, he was impressed that they showed up to the first practice of the tournament and looked like they had been playing together all summer. It’s what the Sedins do.

He caught himself watching and admiring.

“It’s impressive to see what they’re able to do, year in and year out,” Forsberg said. “It’s impressive to see it up close.”

Then, something else stood out. Loui Eriksson, the third player on that line, looked like he’d been playing together with the Sedins for years.
