Strange from the Swedish management as far as their top 3 guys of the tournament. DLR worked hard but didn't come close to what Nylander is all about. And yet....I guess it's some kind of message to Nylander based on his last 2 games despite the goal today. But you go on and elect the C and the 2 A's as players of the tournament for what will be seen as a big failure is kinda odd....

Nylander caused awful turnovers and didnt back check , DLR played solid in both ends and was huge for Sweden's PK exactly the player coaches love.

Think the DLR pick was a respect thing for the Captains.
No way he was in the top-3 for Sweden. In fact, I'm not even sure he was in the Top-10. Awful tournament.

You're talking about "both ends", I didn't see a whole lot of offensive end. Reway wasn't a model of a defensive game. But then contrary to Nylander, he brought it when it counted the most. Don't worry.....I just hope Nylander never do anything at the NHL level (which I doubt...very very much...), but for a context of that tournament, if Nylander isn't there, they don't even have a chance to play for the Bronze.

Go make a trade thread Value of: Reway and say 1st+Nylander
Time for Habs fans that just know Reway is even a thing for one whole week to go and troll Leafs fans and the Swede that's been haunting their hottest dreams for months.

just caught the last 3rd period but my god Reway was on every 2nd shift. Created endless turnovers (on the defensive end). Brilliant play on the ENer, very nice pass on the GWG.
I didn't know if captains usually wait not too raise the trophy till his teammates are around it but I thought that was really really classy. All he kept doing was tweeting about all the wins were team efforts. No small thing captaining an under dog team like that to bronze. That coupled with the going to the Czech league to support his family act might just shed his attitude problems in a different light.
You can still see reasons why he can't make it but still coming through on the big stage while being the only real offensive weapon on your team is pretty impressive. Very easy for the other team just to concentrate on him but he still came through. Very very pleased.

Reway seemed a bit frustrated and/or tired to me last 2 games compared to his previous performances. Anyway, great offensive instincts and just wonderful passes. He needs to sort out some easy turnouvers and lazy passes. But his skill and hockey IQ is just unbelievable.

They just pick the Captain and the 2 assistant (also guys that in there last year of eligibility)

Team Canada chirped him from the puck drop. He was clearly playing with a target on his back.

That's clearly another way to see this and surely the right way. They didn't care about those nominations and wanted to salute the C's and A's. But DLR had a bad tournament.
Reway wowed me. I dont had great expectations for him previously. It was a homerun pick trying to get a top 6 forward or nothing and honestly with a bigger team in the future, he can get a shot. He's IQ, puck control, skating and passing ability were above a lot ahead of great players in the tournament.
