[TheOllieC]

wonder why they didnt register elias lindholm right away, hoping its not a injury or something

He got injured in the Hurricanes game vs Calgary on a hit by Giordano. Didn't return and hadn't played since. Might still be bothering him.

Why was he released from NHL to this tournament if he was injured then?

 

[Eye of Ra]

Why are swedish hockey players always injured?

 

[Sartorial]

Why only 9 forwards listed?

Beats me

Here's the article from his injury: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=695739#&navid=nhl-search

He was scratched with an upper body injury for the rest of the games after this happened up until he had to leave for Sweden.

New IIHF handicap rule, Hockey Canada forced their hands after the exhibition game.

^ Is it really so. In any case IIHF has listed the Finnish roster "Ã¥t helvete"... Leskinen and Teravainen as dmen...

And one forward seems to be missing from team Finland as well - for this "handicap" reason or just plain wrongly -who knows?!

Yea, it was either that or start every game down by three.

Best response ever!

Ludvig Nilsson is not listed. He's gonna play if Sandberg does not recover from his injury. Forsberg is this years Captain.

Elias Lindholm was on the morning skate atleast

Forsberg "C"
Lindholm "A"
Wennberg "A"

 

[Nordic*]

WIll Lindholm join the team for our next game?

Swiss goaltender called Sweden the best team at the tourney. Begin controversy/headlines/anger in Canada.

 

[gretskidoo]

Every single defenseman on the team is utterly worthless defensively.

Bodes well.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

boxplay is a disaster

 

[m4tt145]

This team needs to work on the defensive, didn't look very well today.

 

[joe89]

Box play was a strength in the other games though, but we weren't aggressive enough tonight. I think more players than Collberg were out of energy to be honest. About half the game we were more than alright, second half of the first period and third period.

Looked like a few people were running on an empty tank. It was the first game and a large crowd. This team will only grow, we still saw some exceptional skill in Forsberg and Wennberg mostly.

With Lindholm back hopefully more lines will click.

Collberg caught a fever and didn't finish the game. I got a feeling that there are more sick or players getting sick in the swedish team if you look at the performance of some. Forsberg and Burakowski both been sick as well.

Hopefully the team can get health fast!!

What about Bengtsson? The more the game went on the less he played, I think he played 1 or 2 shifts tops the last period. He's gonna be needed for the PP.
