[roto]

Nice to see that Russia will have quite high profile team there. Finland will have basically its best euro players there, so I think we'll see an interesting tournament. Finnish team will be announced next week.

[Eye of Ra]

Where are players like Alm, Tellqvist, Rautio, Bergfors, Videll, Paulsson? And MÃ¥rts said to hockeysverige that Persson would have made the team if he was not injured, thats just insane. MÃ¥rts needs to get fired.

Anyways I want to see this lineup...


Hjalmarsson - Janmark - Arlbrant
Klasen - Olausson - Thörnberg
Möller - Wandell - Ullström
Rödin - Karlsson - Figren


Fälth - Andersen
Klingberg - Bertilsson
Erixon - Rahimi


Karlsson (2 games)
Backlund


Extras: Nilsson, Danielsson, Lundqvist.


Time for Tre Kronor to win some games in EHT. Im tired of losing.

 

[McGlassbangers]

I'm surprised that Adam Masuhr hasn't gotten a chance at EHT. Any idea why? He's easily top-5 defender in the SM-liiga.

There indeed seems to be some kind of systematic aversion towards Swedes who play in SM-liiga. However, as soon as they've moved on, to KHL or back to SHL, they've suddenly got an invitation.

he is not top-5........

 

[McGlassbangers]

he is not top-5........

Yes he is. Craig Schira and Simon Gysbers are the only defenders I'd take to my team before him. Terrific shot, great playmaking ability and skating, one of the best open ice hitters in the league, he has good leadership ability and as a defender he is starting to hit his prime.

its the same for finns who play in shl. no salmela in lejoniit team...the guy is top 10 in shl.

As far as I know, Salmela was left off the team in the spring due to ahem- personal problems. I assume that is the reason he is still out and to be honest I do not miss him one bit. There have been Finnish players from SHL in EHT recently though, like Ville Lajunen and Kukkonen last year.

Indeed. Salmela is currently persona non grata for the Finnish NT for the same reason Jere Karalahti's career took a turn to south in the mid-2000s and made him an unwanted player in both the NT pool and the NHL.

And like Gaps pointed out, there have been plenty of Finns who have even made major tournaments from the SHL. An especially prominent example is Tomi Kallio, who I believe has the reputation as one of the most feared snipers in Elitserien. There have also been a fair amount of Finns who had good bouts in Sweden and made at least EHT thanks to that. Mikko Lehtonen (the forward) comes to mind, for example.

Of course, the amount of Swedes in SM-liiga over the years has been relatively small, at least when compared the other way around. But still, even those who have done good have hardly got any notions. A good example is Jonas Andersson, who was tearing up SM-liiga for both HPK and Kärpät, but only piqued interest and made the EHT and eventually WHC as well only after his transfer to Minsk in the KHL.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Erkka Westerlund said in an interview this tournament will be higher level than World Championship tournament, referring to player selections.

Also Columbus GM Jarmo Kekäläinen Joined Finland coaching staff as Assistant GM to Jari Kurri and he will give information of Finnish players in NHL and also scout opponents for Sochi

Kurri as Keklu's boss? Now that sounds just... perverse.

 

[bebl]

Yes he is. Craig Schira and Simon Gysbers are the only defenders I'd take to my team before him. Terrific shot, great playmaking ability and skating, one of the best open ice hitters in the league, he has good leadership ability and as a defender he is starting to hit his prime.

Väänänen, Kousa, Eronen, Söderholm, Schira, Gysbers, Kukkonen, Pokka, Näkyvä, Savilahti-Nagander, Morrisonn and Taimi for start and few others are same category with him.

 

[Gaps]

Kurri as Keklu's boss? Now that sounds just... perverse.

You know what would be even more perverse? Kale giving Kurri's current post to Juti, making Juti Keklu's boss (assuming he stays after this season).

 

[JJTT]

Is Niko Kapanen injured? He is still seriously competing for 4th line center spot in Sotchi.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Is Niko Kapanen injured? He is still seriously competing for 4th line center spot in Sotchi.

Yes he is. and Janne Pesonen aswell. Also Jere Karalahti and Janne Niskala were close to Karjala tournament selection and Tami Tamminen put out Hytönen as 5th name that are probaply the last 5 players outside this group to have chance for Sochi

 

[McGlassbangers]

Väänänen, Kousa, Eronen, Söderholm, Schira, Gysbers, Kukkonen, Pokka, Näkyvä, Savilahti-Nagander, Morrisonn and Taimi for start and few others are same category with him.

Väänänen is in his decline, Kousa is poor man's Masuhr, Eronen is all about offensive game, Söderholm is in his decline, Pokka is good young talent but he's not at Masuhr's level right now, Näkyvä is all about offensive game, Savilahti-Nagander has good shot but that's about it, Morrisonn is all about defensive game and Taimi is not even close.
