World Cup: 2016 World Cup — Team Sweden Part II

[Willy Stylez]

I like Silfverbergs role on the team and have no problem with it, very good defensively, great pk player and if any games go to shootout, we got one of the most effective players on shootouts.

In a tournement like this specialteams is going to be key, and Silfverberg will do good in his role.

 

[Willy Stylez]

So for a question: Which five guys would you choose for shootouts right now?

I'll start then.
1. Silfverberg
2. Backström
3. Forsberg
4. Eriksson
5. Rakell/Landeskog

Note: No Sedins..

 

[Sorey*]

Landeskog is terrible. I dont see him better then zibanejad.

 

[EK47]

Silfverberg(duh)
Eriksson
Forsberg

Would be my top3 after that it's a bit up in the air though as you said NO SEDINS

Maybe EK wants to change his game, he looks strong like a terminator, after the Norris robbery. Or maybe he wants to lean off by playing 30+ minutes all season.

I think he have to change passport.

He has never hide away from the being physical on the ice or anything like that, do not see that much new.

 

[jfc64]

Loui should stick to hockey and not talk about his porn novel writing career on prime time TV.

Loui IS a bit alike Håkan Hellström!

Really disappointed Lindholm didn't crack the top-6 even if he was an injury replacement. He's literally miles better than Ekholm, and by any imaginable metric a clear top-4 defender on this team behind EK, OEL, and Hedman.

Didn't look too good against Finland, sadly.

I don't know why but they both look very Gothenburg-y.

 

[Canucks LB]

Anybody else really love watch the Canucks line with OEL and karlsson?, just fun as hell as a fan.

 

[VictorLustig]

Really liked the play of Söderberg in both games. He's what we hoped Berglund would turn into, big, strong and skilled. I'd like to see him get more icetime 5 on 5, he's played less than 10 minutes in both games.

I'll start then.
1. Silfverberg
2. Backström
3. Forsberg
4. Eriksson
5. Rakell/Landeskog

Note: No Sedins..

Silfverberg, Eriksson & Bäckström are the easy choices for me.

 

[Elias Pettersson]

I will watch alot of Canucks game this season. Sedin-Sedin-Loui will be tearing it up.

They won't have any defensemen to get them the puck.

On the pp they should

 

[Desdichado93]

Rakell not traveling to Washington

http://www.svt.se/sport/ishockey/tre-kronor-rakell/

Article says that it is abdominal plains. He had pains yesterday already and the conditions have worsened during the night.

Possible Appendicitis?

 

[LiveeviL]

They won't have any defensemen to get them the puck.

The first pairing is decent enough.

 

[Eye of Ra]

In a tournement like this specialteams is going to be key, and Silfverberg will do good in his role.

But Zibanejad, Johansson and Nyqvist can do that while bring more speed. more grit and more skills.

 

[Nordic*]

So we lose 4 players even before the exhibition games start, now two more might miss the tourny. Classic Sweden.

 

[Sorey*]

Can we replace rakell?

 

[bDtKarlsson]

2013 whc semi-final:

2016 world cup exhibition game:

Both were powerplay goals to make it 2-0, Sedin + Loui magic never dies!

 

[VictorLustig]

But Zibanejad, Johansson and Nyqvist can do that while bring more speed. more grit and more skills.

They would obviously be on the team if that was the case, but it's not.

6th game? Why do you assume that, both teams has been together equally long. 2nd game for sweden aswell. Quite tired of the attitude towards the Swedish team, they will perform, the players buys into the system but it takes time to perfect it. As for Finland it is always so much fun to play against you. But to be honest it takes less time to perfect "we skate as fast as we can and see what happens" tactic than a possestion tactic.
Best of luck in the tournament

No, this was not the 6th game for Sweden. If anything, a lot of these Finnish players have already played together in the last few WC's and formed some chemistry there.
