WC: Team Sweden 2019 roster part II

[Rebels57]

Knowing grönborg pettersson will sit instead of hägg.

Hagg was the worst defensemen in the NHL in 18-19 yet played all 82 games. The guy must be putting a f***ing spell on his coach wherever he plays.

PP1: Elias P, Elias L, Loui, Hörnqvist, OEL

PP2: Gustafsson, Lindblom, Nylander, Bratt, Kempe(?)

Correct. PP2 scored a goal and looked good, PP1 not so much.

Maria Wahlberg seems to be her name. She also interviewed an actual brit.

I loled when she said tu-tu

I’m seriously worried that we wont make the quarters with this coaching. Latvia and Switzerland aren’t kidding around.

Grönborg is not a very good match coach. We won those golds because he has a good hand with NHLers, not because he is a good coach. Garpen cant be worse can he?

Exactly the same mold of coach. Not sure.

 

[Rillijuti]

Markstrom starting vs Italy?

 

[Rillijuti]

When is Klingberg going to play?

 

[EK47]

Markstrom starting vs Italy?

Most likely he practiced with the team today and said he felt good. Plus the physical trainer said that all players were ready to play.

When is Klingberg going to play?

They’re expecting Wennberg to arrive tomorrow or monday, and Grönborg said in an interview that Klingberg will probably join the team a day or so after Wennberg. So against Norway on tuesday at the earliest.

 

[VictorLustig]

Good.

 

[Star Ocean]

Exactly the same mold of coach. Not sure.

Yeah thats what I am worried of.

 

[EK47]

Yeah thats what I am worried of.

Atleast he has a good hand with the NHLers, so the possibility of getting a strong team on paper should keep being good.

Good.

Had a feeling that if he just passed his medical he would come, he’s one of those guys that always wants to play for Sweden if he’s able. Unfortunately he’s had to turn a lot of invitations down due to injuries.

For all the kids out there, try to look tough after the whistle. Might take you far.

So, the rocket consist of the following parts:

- a mother ship that was up 2-1 on the czechs (on fire, the chechs, not the ship)
- 89 kilo Wennberg fit from a month on the bike (think London-Cape Town)
- 80 kilo mobile super-skilled Klingberg (on a third pairing...suspect Marcus Pettersson could benefit from that)
- 98 kilo Landeskog (think Hedman), new buddy to a Elias or two.
- a cooler Ekholm
- Lindholm who decides to give it a try
- The winner of the goalie battle
- 25 players who have stopped helping each other too much

 

[Phil McKraken]

This is awesome news. Klingberg is the best player, but Landeskog will be the biggest addition considering the bad forward depth. Now we can hopefully get Loui Eriksson off both PP 1 and 2 for example.

That doesn't say much. NHL coaches sometimes have their weird fetishes. Vigneault seems to consider Tanner Glass one of the best players in the game. Tortorella actively made sure NYR signed first Boogaard and then Brashear. Both were useless. The coach that played Hägg for 82 games is out of a job now.

The more I think about it the less I like having Kempe as the 2nd line center. We can't go through this tournament with center depth like that.

Landeskog - Pettersson - Lindholm
Lindblom - Nylander - Hörnqvist
A. Kempe - Wennberg - Bratt
M. Kempe - Lander - Eriksson

 

[Chimpradamus]

Grönborg coached actively! Holy crap! What is going on?!

I could see his previous vision with Nylander and Pettersson on the same line and I agreed with it, but it doesn't work. They can find eachother, but Nylander isn't as sharp as you would hope as a goal scorer. It's not good enough, they both want the puck too much.

Nylander needs his own line to grow. I pray to the gods Bratt isn't heavily injured, because he's important.

Grönborg should be able to create quite deadly lines with these players. Just split Nylander and Pettersson, they're both too great with the puck.

 

[Star Ocean]

any word on bratt yet?

 

[EK47]

any word on bratt yet?

Grönborg said in the post-game that it was a precautionary measure. I really hope they mean that.

 

[Pensionsraddare]

A little bit early having Landeskog on the lineup isn't it? Won't dare to count him in until it is official.

Sure, but what could stop him from coming? If he's feeling ok physically and wants to play, what is the problem? He's not exactly a Golden Retriever pup like Dahlin. "NHL master told me I couldn't play, then I can't play, woof!" Then it's up to his family, basically. A whining wife, that can't accept to have a vacation in Slovakia? "Well, it's not the beach we have agreed upon, is it?!". Since it's Sweden, I could see that scenario as probable, hence the 50/50.

"Landeskog couldn't play, because his wife didn't like it." A very normal problem for a Swedish "equal" husband.
