Strange cut of Bodin

Strange cut of Bodin

Rosén has never been a fan of his.

Bottom 6:

Nordlund - Berglund - Hesselvall
Toresson - Orrsten - Sterner

Probably best possible forward lineup cpnsidering the pieces available.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Liv starting?!

 

[erikhamren]

Liv starting?!

I think Härenstam, when looking at flashscore.

 

[hockeyprospects9]

Not the best start for him

 

[theslatcher]

Team sorely misses Frondell.

 

[EK47]

This 06 group is really not that good especially with their best forward who is an 07 is missing.

 

[VictorLustig]

I don’t know. Looking terrible at the group stage seems to be a great sign for Swedish U18 teams.

 

[erikhamren]

It sucks that Frondell got injured. Badly needed as he would lead our offense and probably be one of the tourneys top scorers. Ihs Wozniak btw has 18 min in 4 games.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I don’t know. Looking terrible at the group stage seems to be a great sign for Swedish U18 teams.

Should try it once or twice for U20, and maybe they'll finally win.

We did. 2012. Maybe you dont remember?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

We did. 2012. Maybe you dont remember?

Yes, but there is a drought since then that everyone wants to see finally end.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Yes, but there is a drought since then that everyone wants to see finally end.

Czechs last gold was in 2001...

 

[erikhamren]

Yes, but there is a drought since then that everyone wants to see finally end.

Imo we have a chance this WJC when the 05 plays. Stenberg, Edstrom, Unger Sörum and Frondell together with Sandin Pellikka and Willander.

 

[Svedu]

Pretty sure you guys will win today if the first formation together with Saarelainen, Jokinen and Nykyri can't carry this team.
The defense and goaltending has been pretty darn bad and against the US they looked horrendous.
Hemming was a complete no show against the US and Kiviharju wasn't good in any way.

I feel like Sweden has bigger depth and that could be the winning factor. Also feel like you guys have capital in Freij and S-W and Härenstam. Individuals that your team can expect more from.

 

[erikhamren]

Im proud of the team. In Hlinka we didnt even get out of the group stage with the same players and now we nearly beat Canada to go to the final in U18 WJC. Canada was more effective in the first period both games which set the tone for the rest of the game but thats hockey.

 

[hockeyprospects9]

If only we would score on our chances..

 

[Ebbert]

Yah and only if we can do great on the PP, was pretty meh the tournament.

 

[theslatcher]

Hopefully the 07s don't get stuck with Rosén.

 

[hockeyprospects9]

Hopefully the 07s don't get stuck with Rosén.

Pretty sure (and hoping) it’ll be with Paananen.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Getting bronze with this weak team. Thats fantastic.

next year;

Ekberg - Frondell - JIW
Klingsell - Björck - Stenberg
Novotny - Nilson - Drott
Jennersjö - Gästrin - Hillström

Boumedienne - Annborn
Sjöström - Lindgren
Håkansson - Elofsson

Härenstam
Forsberg

Härenstam
Forsberg

Not a weak team IMO, worse than 04 and 05 but good team anyway. Bronze is what was expected

For next year Hallin and Elofsson can be switched

 

[illone84]

congrats on the bronze!

 

[Preds666]

Getting bronze with this weak team. Thats fantastic.

next year;

I remembered you like to speculate about future teams, so I looked at what you posted a year ago (screenshot). You got 13 players right.

But kind of shows how much happens in a year. Quite interesting IMO, since your prediction a year ago did not look out of place then.

 

[Svedu]

Easily the third best team in this tournament after the NA teams. With the same effort you guys had against Canada in the second part of the game would've given you a 8-1 victory over Finland.

But... Am I wrong if I'm still not that impressed by the talent level this years with the NA teams being the exception with huge prospects like Hagens and McKenna?
Sure Fernström, Freij and Wallenius. But I feel like I've seen a lot better players at the same age from both Sweden and Finland?
