WC: Team Sweden 2019 roster part II

[Pensionsraddare]

Sure, but what could stop him from coming? If he's feeling ok physically, what is it? He's not exactly a pup like Dahlin. "NHL master told me I couldn't play." Then it's up to his family, basically. A *****y wife?

Still haven't heard any reports about his medical exam yet? We don't know if he will be cleared through that one. If not, we can probably forget about him.

IF Landeskog arrives we get more physical on the first line, Lindblom might end up with Lander and Eriksson which give us more bite there. Bratt can be replacement player. Finally Wennberg can replace Mario Kempe on the fourth line. Good team build, Mr Green! A whole bunch of light weight removed. Wonder when in the process he saw this team evolve.

PS. Nylander - Kempe - Hörnqvist were a nice "misfits" line today!

The praise for the third line from SVT is a bit over the top. ITS ITALY. Yeah, sure they played well today, but they were nowhere to be found against the Czech republic, and if there is no switchups I wouldn’t expect them to do very much at all against Latvia, Switzerland or Russia. I do think that there are bigger concerns though mainly who is going to run the second line. I also think Krüger should sit before Lander does.

 

[Star Ocean]

Kruger is a waste imo. Too many players has the same role as he has.

He hasn't been bad at all.

It is not a swedish hockey tournament without the obligatory stomach flu.

so markstrom have to play vs Norway?

Doesn't have to play, but will most likely play, yes.

so markstrom have to play vs Norway?

Yeah, he was officially added to the squad today but he told the coaches that he wanted another practice in him before starting a game.

NHL teams forbidding players from going annoys me. The players are paid to play 82 games during October - April, that's it. What they do in the offseason is up to them as long as they're healthy and in shape come late October, so back the f*** off.

No team is forbidding their players to go.

If Barkov passed his medical he had to have declined himself in some way NHL teams can give the players advice on what to do but they can’t force them if they pass their medical.

 

[Star Ocean]

No news about landeskog yet? What is going on.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

How has Gustafsson looked?

 

[EK47]

How has Gustafsson looked?

Our best defenseman so far by a mile.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Our best defenseman so far by a mile.

His game really grew once he was able to play under Jeremy Colliton full time, so its good to hear he has continued to play well after his season ended.

 

[VictorLustig]

Landeskog confirmed, according to insider.

 

[Star Ocean]

Halleluja

Wennberg as first line center... I guess Grönborg doesn't read hfboards... =)

Probably more about splitting up the talent, everyone knows Pettersson is a better center than Wennberg. But in a setting with two talented players in a whole new situation where you want to prove something he could do well.

True but its still surprising. I would have guessed he would play as 3rd or 4th line center. This team really need Landeskog. Neither Nylander or Pettersson are first line centers today.

Literally the best way to describe Pettersson is as a first line center.

Literally the best way to describe Pettersson is as a first line center.

He is a weak 1st line center in a weak team. Horvat is Vancouvers 1st line C.

 

[Star Ocean]

He is a weak 1st line center in a weak yeam. Horvat is Vancouvrrs 1st line C.

Pettersson had more points than horvat in 11 less games.
