Where is Marcus Nordmark and Viggo Björck?

Täby J18 needs Ws for a shot to play in J18 Nationell.

Täby J18 needs Ws for a shot to play in J18 Nationell.

or maybe nils ekman thinks they are not good enough

What a game. Finlands 4th line Nuutinen, Tukiainen, Arkko was fantastic Nuutinen in particular. Also
Piiparinen and Alalauri are darn good and nice to see Kallio dangles work even against Sweden.

 

[erikhamren]

Yep, Finland were the much better team. We maybe played decent the first period but after that we didnt do much. The top guys didnt show like anything imo.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Puuh frustrating loss. This team would need Vanhatalo sniper skills

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Sweden won the 2nd game 5-2 and 3rd game 7-3. Any standouts?

The Olsson - Holmertz - Bartholdsson line looked good, they’re all really great at protecting the puck and were able to create a lot of zone-time. Elofsson and Hermansson had great games as well, the latter earning himself Sweden’s motm. However, I was most impressed by Josbrant who brought a great work ethic, solid two-way play, and was able to create offensively.

Hermansson, perhaps eager to showcase himself, held on to the puck a bit too long at times.

Furuvik looking snakebitten… Had several great chances, but end up pointless after these three games. I think there’s a possibility he gets switched with Nordmark for next tourney.

(Today’s game)

Not sure how strong the swedish 08s are supposed to be but seeing 1 1/2 games looks to be another middling age group for finland at best wonder if liitto gonna wake up this decade
