Too early to say Landeskog won't be able to play in WJC but that's a possibility. KIT captain has played his way into top 3 of draft.

Gabriel Landeskog will not play for SWE tonight vs. RUS. Hurt his ankle in last OHL game and it's getting worse. Getting an MRI.

 

[bottomofthefoodchain]

Why did he play against Norway if he was in pain?

 

[danishh]

best line by far:

In addition, it looks like they're playing with four men in the armed forces and has a man lying on a blue and lurking.

Google translate

Isn't this how Swedes talk in English? Maybe Google is on to something here...

I have to admit that it indeed has some resemblance to the way the thick and uneducated who overestimate their ability speak "English", yes.

Hehe, you should translate a TSN article to see how poorly we speak Swedish.

I hate when Country Forests get damaged

Its what happens when you go beyond the annual cut.

 

[Pentothal]

Oh FFS, of all the injuries we could have gotten.. This is as bad as it could get. Be back soon Gabbe.

 

[paradeofwolves]

Hahahahaha 'Country Forest'
But this sucks. He's my favourite Swede in the tourney. Glad he's not going to aggravate his injury by playing anymore though. It's for the better.

 

[Made Dan]

This sucks, I was really looking forward to getting to watch him.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

I heard Robin Big Snake lives in Country Forest.

 

[1912]

He said he hoped to get back to the game against the Czech. If not he might be back against the Canada.

Gabriel Landeskog Tournament Likely Done

Sad news, hopefully his ankle will be better soon so he can go back home and play some great hockey.

Thank-you sir.

 

[CharlieGirl]

Damn. I was hoping for better news than this, for his sake and for Kitchener's (no disrespect for Team Sweden, but I'm a Rangers fan!)

Great; this means that our four best players aren't playing...


Josefsson

Landeskog

Landeskog

Unavailable:
Duchene.
Skinner.
Hall.
Seguin.
Kane.
O'Reilly.
(Yeah, I know there's an L.A. King player too. But meh).
Hurt:
de Haan (2nd pairing)
Schwartz (1st line)
Suspended:
Kassian (2nd line)

No sympathy from the Canadians that players are missing.

That said, I would have liked to have seen Landeskog play at full health.

Larsson is better then Landeskog. The North American media is really riding Larsson hard and forcing the thought that he's overrated into our heads. Does he make some mistakes? Sure, but he also makes so many awesome plays that TSN loves to ignore. He does little things perfectly. A real pleasure to watch.

Sorry for the off topic post.

Really? I was thoroughly unimpressed with him in the pre-tournament; though I admittedly have not seen much of him outside of that.

 

[Jim Morrison]

Not for the whole tournament, it's more likely he just waits until the playoffs now.

Swedish article about Landeskog.

– My foot feels okay, but we don't wanna risk anything.

Are you worried that your tournament is over??
– No, I both hope and think I can play. Right now you just have to stay positive.

There is?

Yeah. Kyle Clifford is still eligible for the team.

His whole 6 points in 31 NHL games makes me question how big of a loss it is in comparison to some of the other lights, but technically he could play.
