[SChan*]

ugh i loathe hägg ever since he caused the turnover who led to finlands goal.

 

[PuckPoise]

Pilut and Kovacs doesn't seem to be considered at all.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Pilut and Kovacs doesn't seem to be considered at all.

Same story with Lindblom.

Very strange.

 

[VictorLustig]

Same story with Lindblom.

Very strange.

Lindblom is definitely considered.

 

[joe89]

Same story with Lindblom.

Very strange.

Every forward can't be on every tournament squad. There's 20+ forwards who could make this team and no one would really be surprised. He's considered.

I would've loved to see a three day camp with an intrasquad game and/or a game versus some division 1 team or something. Unfortunately it's a lot to ask for, SHL/Allsvenskan would need to take a christmas break imo.

 

[SChan*]

Same story with Lindblom.

Very strange.

why wouldnt lindblom be considered? I know grönborg is terrible coach, but still.

 

[TuckerFan1]

Any chance Tobias Lindberg makes the team? The big question going into this season was how he would do on the smaller ice. Well hes doing very well, I would say one of the fastest skaters in the OHL.

 

[VictorLustig]

Just noticed Crus Rydberg hasn't played in almost a month.

 

[m4tt145]

I hope they consider Kovacs, he seems to be doing good in AIK.

It would make sense they put Brodecki and Lindblom together, since they play together in Brynäs, so who takes the winger spot next to JDLR and Wallmark? Kovacs? Timashov?

I think Axel Blomqvist will be there.

 

[czechcanadian]

Which Olofsson is more likely to make the team? Fredrik or Victor?

 

[m4tt145]

Which Olofsson is more likely to make the team? Fredrik or Victor?

Victor Olofsson. Fredrik Olofsson is not likely to make it.

 

[DSL]

Right now I'd go with:

Kempe - Nylander - Olofsson
JDLR - Wallmark - Brodecki
Lindblom - Holmström - Blomqvist
Blidh - Lindberg - Karlsson
Timashov

Hägg - Aho
Norell - Kylington
Hansson - Bergman
Englund

Ward
Söderström
Sandström

Think I like Lindberg better than Ehn as 4th line C, question is if he's willing to take on that role. I'm also just hoping Timashov gets a chance on this team, but doesn't feel very likely.

 

[PuckPoise]

Do they announce the roster this Thursday or next?

 

[joe89]

Do they announce the roster this Thursday or next?

Next Monday, probably together with Tre Kronor.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Juniorkronornas förbundskapten Rikard Grönborg presenterar den preliminära truppen till JVM på måndag klockan 13.00

 

[Eye of Ra]

Carl Grundström, anyone?

 

[DSL]

Carl Grundström, anyone?

I like him alot but don't see him making the team this year.

 

[VictorLustig]

You can't leave Kylington at home the way he's playing right now.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

You can't leave Kylington at home the way he's playing right now.

Looking good in AIK, no doubt. Did he show enough at the U20 tournament tho?

 

[vippe]

Want both Kylington and Timashov on the team... how big of a chance do you give them?

 

[ulvvf]

It was a good move for Kylington, he didnt get many minuts in färjestad and then it is hard to make yourself justice.

Now to me he is lock. Hopefully we see him in the next 2 WJC as well, but maybe not so likely.

 

[ulvvf]

Want both Kylington and Timashov on the team... how big of a chance do you give them?

I would like that too, but Grönbrog didnt see Timashov when he was in NA and he talked about he being eligable next year also, which I read as he will probably go with other players. I think that is a shame.

Kylington is a lock in my mind now. He has been very dominating offensivly in allsvenskan.
