WJC: Team Sweden 2024 U20 WJC roster talk

[EK47]

Well for once we’ve been ”lucky” with injuries. Willander and Lindstein instead of Odelius and Norén = major upgrade.

I was also worried Johansson would stick to the top-6 but luckily he was just there to replace Salomonsson. He looked pretty shaky against Latvia.

Forwards looking solid too, getting good offense from all three scoring lines.

Honestly both Willander and Lindstein are better players than Mattias Hävelid. Not that he’s bad.

As a Canadian, I feel I should come on here and offer my congratulations on a near perfect game by Team Sweden. It’s pretty rare to see a Canadian team get smothered to that degree.

Also, please disregard any comments about our missing guys. That was embarrassing to read.

Lastly, I can honestly say as a Vancouverite, that a bad day for Canada was actually a pretty solid day for Vancouver. All three of our draftees were extremely impressive in that game.

Why don't you write down the names of all the guys we were missing and stick it on your fridge. That way you can look at it every day.

I think most swedish hockey fans are well aware that Canada are always missing a ton of players. Just the fact that half of Scandinavium was filled with fans from the other side of the pond is impressive. Not to mention good. Canadian money is in the end what makes this tournament what it is and teams like Sweden this good aswell.

That was a really good game yesterday, but I have a question. It is just me or do both Sweden and Canada have relatively large teams this year? I really liked the banging on both teams part yesterday. Took me back to the 2012 LA Kings a little. Heavy hockey.

Gold medal?! This is Sweden for God's sake! There'll be no gold medal.

Hävelid, the c0ach, has 2 golds at u18, we hope he can convert his success to the u20 aswell

but taking a silver or bronze aint too shabby tbh

are u gonna congratulate us when we take the the silver or bronze? little sweden with just 60 000 active hockey players, just getting a medal is huge for us

I think Sweden has an average weight of 83 kg and Canada an average weight of 84.

Did you like the style of play too?

 

[EK47]

Did you like the style of play too?

Yeah I usually find it entertaining

 

[PrimumHockeyist]

Almost too much speed and finesse nowadays. This was much better for me.

you must be a pretty huge downer as a sens fan with standards like that.

 

[hockeyprospects9]

They need to switch Öhgren and Wahlberg... It's a waste

 

[erikhamren]

Delete, i was being too negative

 

[johan f]

Can someone help me out to sort out all Hävelids. Is the coach related to Niklas Hävelid? The goalie is a son to Niklas. What about the skater Hävelid?

 

[erikhamren]

Getting outplayed at home vs Switzerland in a QF. Outplayed like always vs decent to good teams. Hope everyone resigns

 

[Eye of Ra]

its not a coaching problem, we are just not good enough , same with the mens NT. we have regressed alot in this sport. it was the same with handball, but now we are good again in handball so there is always hope

Niclas is the coach's twin nephews' father.

Lindstein has been a treat to watch. Crazy he was left off the roster initially.

 

[theslatcher]

Rudslätt getting more time in the 3rd than FUS & Stenberg. Almost as much as Bystedt & Edstrom.

Forsfjäll getting OT time over FUS.

Coaching, eh?

 

[Janvonpobben]

Forsfjäll most fwd on ice in OT is a monten type of coaching
