WJC: 2014 — Sweden Roster Talk

[Burakovsky95*]

What did you all think about separating DLR and Burakowsky? I thought they should have stayed together.

It worked, DLR plays well with Forsberg.

 

[Burakovsky95*]

It worked, DLR plays well with Forsberg.

I think Forsberg at this point could play well with anyone on that team.

 

[McMatthews]

Andreas Johnson looked good for Sweden.

A much better skater and two-way player than I expected.

They seem to like to set him up for one timers in the slot area.

I'm very happy we got him in the 7th round.

 

[Svanstrom]

Was Calle Andersson ever in discussion about making this team?

Yeah of course! But his brother is the one you should keep your eyes on!
I hope we'll see him next year... Btw the Swedish 96ers is really something special!

[Svanstrom]

Every single defenseman on the team is utterly worthless defensively.

Bodes well.

That is obviously not true.

 

[JFG]

Any indications that more players have shown signs of illness? It certainly looked that way...

From Sweden's morning training.
No Collberg, De la Rose & Norell. But it should not be anything serious for any of them.
Elias Lindholm & Filip Sandberg participated. FS only one that's still left on Ice.

All info from: JVM-morgon med Chris

Tilltänkt förstakedja om alla är friska och hela: Forsberg-Lindholm-de la Rose, hälsar Grönborg. #jvm14

So first line will be Forsberg-Lindholm-de la Rose against Finland (if everyone is healhy).

And no Collberg and no Norell, as mentioned.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Elias Lindholm & Filip Sandberg good to go

 

[Klown]

Team doctor says 10-15 players shows symptoms of cold. Not good.

 

[joe89]

Doesn't sound like anyone is injured for the next game. They need to get that cold under control though, it's a short tournament.

 

[mindfly]

What's the deal with Norell? Why is he getting so much icetime?

 

[Spinkis]

Team doctor says 10-15 players shows symptoms of cold. Not good.

That's bad, we can't have a bunch of sick players running around with the healthy.

 

[siegeofshanghai*]

Why are swedish players always injured/sick in this tournament. We have been plauged by this every year.

 

[siegeofshanghai*]

if we just could stay healthy we have a real good shot at the gold.

 

[m4tt145]

Lindholm going all out today at practice, will most likely play against Finland tomorrow, centering Forsberg and JDLR.

 

[jfc64]

PETER Forsberg tried to chicken out because of a flu some ten years ago. He did not succeed. Avs stood firm. Dansk can rest for all I care.

 

[Loffer]

Finland will be butchered by the Swedes barring the flu puts half of the team to bed.

 

[jfc64]

Why are swedish players always injured/sick in this tournament. We have been plauged by this every year.

They feel they can rest from senior hockey life. And THEN, like a shot in the mail box, flu and cold and allergy. They wine together and form a team that way. "Oh, Canada are so good, we are never going to beat them"...but unconsciously the swedes set the level for their work and make their way forward by 3-2 and 4-3 wins. And in the finals everything bursts and they can beat a team 6-2 that outshot the can's by 60-20. Swedes never hid from sabeltooth animals in their caves, they hid from the cold.

 

[Dosing]

Whats worrisome is even if they get strong enough to ignore the symptoms, they will still have it in their bodies making them weaker.

 

[Nordic*]

Even though this Swedish team looks good offensively, they are without a doubt one of the worst defensively in many years.

We have no solid defencemen to lean on and Dansk looks very small in the net.

NO defense needed! We have JAS-planes...

In all honesty one could ask for at least that our defensive d-man defends.

 

[siegeofshanghai*]

is it just me or is USA the team to beat this year? Funny enough Sweden has it easier against Canada than its brother.

You know I read TSN every year and it always make me think Canada is unbeatable while USA hockey always comes in as an underdog.

Yeah, past year's D-men
