WC: Team Sweden Roster

[DDRhockey]

This is infuriating if true

 

[Blue prez]

Nordström better Lias Andersson ?)

Just like Kablukov is better than Shalunov)

 

[The Iron Goalie]

This is infuriating if true

Yawnborg is coach, so it's likely true.

It is already over. Lias is grönborgs fav player

 

[clunk]

lol, can you imagine. Puts up the most historic season for a u-20 player in SHL history and gets benched by a coach playing favourites.

 

[theslatcher]

Mikael Backlund blir kapten för Tre Kronor: "Är perfekt för det"

Backlund will be the captain at SHG, and will be either C or A at Worlds. OEL & Klingberg to wear A's at SHG.

 

[Eternalize]

Grönborg is going to be all over Pettersson for next years WC if he's playing in the NHL, where he realistically could be a 50 or 60 point guy. Just like when he refused to play Dahlin in the Olympics, Grönborg can't seem to think two steps ahead. Dahlin got benched in favor of a bunch of veteran euro scrubs that are going to keep playing in Europe for the rest of their careers, never being close to the NHL level. Next year, Dahlin will be in the NHL and he's going to do better there than any of the guys on the Olympic team would have been able to, without it even being close. As soon as Dahlin got to play in the Olympics, he literally made impact instantly.

I guess Dahlin and Pettersson are both just going to have an insane upcoming summer, with both outgrowing their talent, and against all odds they will be good NHLers as early as next year. Imagine guys like Pääjärvi and De La Rose getting a spot on this team over Pettersson..

I think this upcoming tournament will be a coming out party for Mattias Janmark. He's probably Dallas' best skater and had a great season this year after missing the entire 2016-17 season.

I think they are reading to much into the quote. " suggested Pettersson is in a battle for a job with another 19-year-old.". I think (at least hope) that what Grönborg meant is that both Lias and Elias are competing for a spot, but not necessarly the same spot. I.e. there are multiple spots open and both Andersson and Pettersson are competing for the spots

The idea of having two 19 year olds on the team must be so horrible.


Honestly, how many years of gronborg do we need to stand?

 

[GoCaps2004]

Is there any actual chance that Jonsson-Fjallby makes the WC team? it seems like an incredible long shot, but would be a welcomed surprise for me

small chance...13/14 forward

who should replace him?

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Lineup vs CZE: CZE - SWE (Line Up)

lol jacob nilsson playing instead of Jonsson Fjällby.

 

[EK47]

The forwards against the Czechs apart from the first line and Backlund.

 

[migi]

Can somebody post the PP units which Sweden uses please.

In the game / in practise if already known.

 

[EK47]

Jacob Nilsson wouldn't even have been a fourth liner on Växjö. This speaks volume for how bad the SHL has become. Either they decide to become a good senior league and spend a ton of cash on salaries like Växjö or they decide to become one of the best junior leagues in the world, not this half measure.

 

[DDRhockey]

who should replace him?

Rönnberg is my choice.

 

[theslatcher]

Love what I'm seeing from Janmark & Brännström.

 

[EK47]

Janmark and Erik Gustafsson look really good.

Also why the hell would anyone have Pilut and Wikstrand over Brännström? Or I obviously get why but right now he looks like Enström with wheels.

 

[CupInSIX]

I'm biased but Brannstrom looks better each and every time I see him. His confidence has skyrocketed since the WJC

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Janmark best forward so far

 

[Eye of Ra]

Rönnberg is my choice.

is it not time for popovic to leave aswell?
