WC: General Talk '14 — Sweden

[joe89]

Maybe Enström is interested?

 

[Eye of Ra]

Now it is . Honestly he has been just awful this year. The only thing he is good at nowadays are faceoffs

He was good in Karjala.

Btw, Wandell is out, Önerud is in.

4 lines that can score...

Johansson - Backlund - Hornqvist
Zibanejad - Jarnkrok - Lindholm
Lindstrom - Ericsson - Moller
Hjalmarsson - Karlsson - Axelsson
Arvidsson, Melker

(I hope the AHL clubs will give us our youngsters)


No need to bring in Ekholm and Gunnarsson...

Kronwall - Klingberg
Alm - Hersley
Burstrom - Andersen
Viklund - Rahimi


Lack
Lehner
Ullmark

Did you watch Linköping v Skellefteå last night? Rahimi was probably the worst player on ice. He has no place in WC.

well ok then, bring in gunnarsson!

 

[joe89]

Sure hope we get at least one of Karlsson, OEL & Edler. We've got some decent depth guys.

 

[Eye of Ra]

bad news. the games against swiss will not be broadcast.

we will not see ollas, thuresson, kilström, önerud, bång and mostly...hedminator.. hitting swiss to mars.

 

[timekeep]

Does Klefbom have a chance to make your team?

 

[m4tt145]

Perhaps, depending on if MÃ¥rts knows he exists.

Klefbom is an intresting prospect but we have better defenders in NA and over in europe so he shouldnt be close to the national squad.

Hopefully Karlsson decline always fun to see him play but he need some rest and and good offseason to be fully recoverd from his injury.

OEL should be the go to guy on the defence. I just hope they send a young squad with very few veterans.

TV10 broadcasts both games.

They said no in hotmail.

They're either trolling you or trolling everybody reading their listings

Gunnarsson is injured, Torp in.

This is a physical team,

^ I didn't even know Lindholm was outscoring Stalberg. Stalberg can skate but I assume he likely wont go right?

 

[LiveeviL]

Would be nice with Gunnarsson, OEL, Edler & Karlsson playing. Gunnarsson needs a break on Tre Kronor.

 

[joe89]

If we look at the most interesting first round matchups right now(season series):

Colorado-Chicago(4-1): Landeskog // Hjalmarsson, Oduya, Krüger, Nordström.
Anaheim-Minnesota(2-1): Lindholm, Silfverberg, Karlsson, Rakell // Brodin.
Tampa Bay-Montreal(3-1): Hedman // Pylon(Murray).
Pittsburgh-Detroit(1-1): Nobody // Half our national team.
Rangers-Philadelphia(2-2): Lundqvist, Hagelin, Strålman // Grossmann, Gustafsson.

 

[joe89]

Lines against Switzerland:
Klasen-Olausson-BÃ¥ng
Axelsson-Wennberg-Thuresson
Rödin-Ryno-Ollas
Hedman-Mannberg-Carlsson
Önerud, Brithén.

Nilsson-Vikstrand
Hershley-Ahnelöv
Kihlström-Andersen
Torp

Indeed. He was mentioned sometimes as an Olympic player. Sweden might assemble a real meat wall this time. Elias Lindholm and ZIBANEJAD WOULD BE nice depth players this time if we get the defense we hope for. Ekholm-Kronwall S are not bad either.

I think we'll see Tallinder there, he seems to like playing for the NT and MÃ¥rts likes him.

 

[joe89]

The expected were good against Switzerland(4-1). Klasen, Axelsson, Thuresson, Wennberg, those guys will fight for World Champ spots. TheFatOne's favorite Anton Hedman was pretty good too. The D wasn't tested much but thought Ahnelöv hade a good game and Ullmark made some good stops. Hersley's goal was a bomb, but I feel like he's too limited outside of that one area on the PP.

 

[Pominville Knows]

I also hope we go for a very young tam we got the talents to do so. Just a couple of veterans to lead the charge.

The Sedins approve of your post, they decline:

Totally the right choice for them, they need to focus on first-things-first now.

I still hope that Edler can go though (and Läck as the third as I think he will be important in the future).
