Was supposed to be a four nations, but I guess Slovakia has something else planned?

Changes for Sweden from Finnkampen:

Removed
Goos

Grahn
Färhammar
Wahlund

Philip Larsson
Jennersjö
Elias Eriksson
Sundqvist

Added
Forsberg

Hallin
Boumedienne
Holmgren

Liam Andersson
Bräutigam
Krantz
Morin

Boumedienne is obviously the big name, but will be fun to see Forsberg too.

Probably not, I'm almost certain that this schedule was there a long time ago, or rather that Slovakia was not there.. Everyone plays everyone twice..

Czechia rosrer:

Not bad.
It is noteworthy that such players as Pšenička, Raichl, Kucharčík, Krčál, Netušil, Nestrašil, Rybnikár, D. Kos who were noisy until recently, were left behind, while it cannot be said that these players have slowed down...

Why Slovakia has not been invited? We have been 2nd at last tournament with Czechia, Finland, Germany and Switzerland on place.
Our 2007 class is evenly (if not higher) rated to 2004.

Ok, they failed 3 times against Czechs (could also beat them once) but they were all even games.

Slovakia did join this tournament last year, so who knows?

[VictorLustig]

SWE-CZE 2-1. Late goal by Sonestedt.

Very even fought match. Liked Wozniak and Frondell. Also liked #22 (whoever that was).

Gästrin. Thought there was a lot left to give from the Swedish players.

 

[czech]

It is noteworthy that former Slovaks (Bartovič and Rybnikar) scored points in the Czech team.

It is also interesting that both teams that played in this match included a hockey player named Novotny.

Melvin Novotny's father is Slovak as of origin, he is silver medalist in judo from the European Championships in 2005 in Rotterdam. Are we loosing another interesting prospect or is he eligible to play for Slovakia?

Would need to spend 2 continuous seasons playing in Slovakia if he ever would want to rep them(add 2 seasons to that if he makes a Swedish team that plays in an IIHF sanctioned event). Far-fetched, that is.

 

[VictorLustig]

Not a lot to like about Swedens performance so far. Lack of skill among the defensemen and I was hoping the best forwards would stand out way more at this level.

I mean, there is no real team play either. You can see flashes of skill with certain forwards.. but yeah, there is little smartness, structure etc. The team has some work to do... in order to live up to the hype. Haven't been really impressed by any of the newcomers (since Dec "finnkamp") either.

(The 06 group were absolutely CRAP in Finnkampen last year, but if I recall, stepped it up in the following tournament at least)

Sweden is losing after two periods today, but otherwise they are clearly the better team. Individual technique, game organization, everything is better than the opponent. Unfortunately for me.

Czechs aren't playing well, but they looked good in the previous two games. Considering they are missing like five quality forwards, I am surprised the games have been this close in the first place.

I didn't see the whole last games, they were just bits and pieces, but I also thought we played better. I watched the whole thing today and was really disappointed. But the absence of five players in the attack is noticeable, that's a fact.
