WJC: Team Sweden 2024 U20 WJC roster talk

[Pavels Dog]

Salmonsson suspended 1 game.

He needs to clean up these dirty plays.

 

[theslatcher]

Lindstein with highest (EP) Game Score from day 1, Bystedt+FUS also in top 10.

 

[Janvonpobben]

Funny the canadian didnt get anything in the pre game

 

[stl76]

What do they do with Lindstein after that performance in game 1? Do they break up the Lindstein - Willander pairing?

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Hang on... there's a guy on team Sweden named Felix Unger?

Salomonsson is suspended for 1 game so no reason to do anything yet.

Partly.

 

[ORRFForever]

WOW! GREAT game. Well played. Your team is great.

Hope to see you, again, in the GMG.

Salmonsson has been awful and should be scratched for Johansson. ASP has been bad as well.

Lindstein - Willander
Pettersson - Havelid

Is the top 4 you ride in the medal rounds. All 4 have been excellent.

Johansson - ASP as your sheltered bottom pairing.

None of the defensemen have been awful. Lindstein and Pettersson have been better than expected though.

 

[EK47]

The best defenseman wasn’t even on the roster a week before the tournament. Hävelid seems to dissappear against better opponents. Salomonsson, Lindstein and Willander stepped up IMO.

 

[theslatcher]

Only need Öhgren & Wahlberg to swap places now and we'll be rolling. Imagine if Leo would have been available, though!

 

[Sticktape]

This roster is deadly.

 

[ORRFForever]

This roster is deadly.

Is Sweden wins Gold, it may go down as one of the great teams of all time.

 

[EK47]

This roster is deadly.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Sweden have so
much depth.

 

[Warh1ppy]

Canucks may have struck gold with Pettersson and Willander. Absolute stand outs both for different reasons and both positives

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Very nice seeing Lindstein being good defensively as well as putting up some nice points.

yes but imagine if you had to defend Fantilli Benson Wright and Bedard

 

[EK47]

yes but imagine if you had to defend Fantilli Benson Wright and Bedard

Or imagine Canada had non of those players and they instead had to defend Carlsson.

What ifs don’t work. They’re quite frankly pathetic.

bahahahhahahha take it easy buddy. I wasn't the one who made this claim to begin with. Maybe you should direct your comments to the guy that did.

Plus it’s a bit early to celebrate a Gold medal, considering it’s Sweden we’re talking about. They always do well in the group stage and then fall apart in the medal round

 

[theslatcher]

yes but imagine if you had to defend Fantilli Benson Wright and Bedard

No, I don't think I will.

A Canada with Gustafson, Hemmerling, & Cataford, though? Now we're talking!

 

[Chainshot]

Knock it off.

[Hockeyfrilla]

Hilarious that Lindstein was not on the initial roster. 5 assists and +7 after 3 games. Works well with Willander.

Well for once we’ve been ”lucky” with injuries. Willander and Lindstein instead of Odelius and Norén = major upgrade.

I was also worried Johansson would stick to the top-6 but luckily he was just there to replace Salomonsson. He looked pretty shaky against Latvia.

Forwards looking solid too, getting good offense from all three scoring lines.
