[jfc64]

26.12 at 19 (Swedish time) opening game against Finland. Add that on your calender guys (and gurls).

Fight song against the finns:

“Victor Söderström was not on the initial roster for Sweden. He is still a possibility. Chayka said he suffered a minor injury recently and it was the Coyotes who pushed to hold him out extra time to make sure he was healthy.”

Neutral Zone: Examining the Coyotes’ place in the Taylor... Neutral Zone: Examining the Coyotes’ place in the Taylor Hall sweepstakes, Kessel’s return and more

Söderström, probably the best Swedish U20 d-man not in the NHL not making the team is a joke. Him, Boqvist and Sandin should be the first names on the coach’s mind.
I shouldn’t be surprised I guess. It’s the same thing every year

You spelled Nils Lundkvist wrong and he made the team.

Places good defense in the SHL, leads his team is points, and is on pace to break the record for points per game by a u20 dman.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Lul that Ginning move was so called by you guys. Props.

He was on the team last year, of course he was going to get on again.

 

[romelson]

I was argueing Adam Wilsby should have a decent shot at making the WJC, given his 1PPG in SHL2. Pretty awesome for a junior d-man among men. Probably, his explosive production came too late.
But Wilsby's way of dealing with Monten leaving him outside of the squad is impressive: He's been logging 2 points per game, at average, for the last three games, after Montens squad announcement.
Now, THAT, is how you should respond. ¨
Despite being outside of WJC, Wilsby has got be the hottest overage candidate from Sweden, for the draft 2020.

Forgot about Nils, true. Still, Söderström should have been a lock

Isn't Sandin expected to be the #1 D for this team? Just under a point a game in the AHL right now. Pretty great group of defensemen regardless.

Sandin should be on the team. Ginning should not.

 

[theslatcher]

Sandin should be on the team. Ginning should not.

If Ginning isn't on the team, then who would the captain be!?

I do worry they'll give him the C. At the very least he'll get an A is my guess.

I mean... I dont care who the captain is, doesnt make much of a difference anyway

 

[Kent Nilsson]

Oh man if they make Ginning captain Ill spend the entire day in this thread.

When does Team Sweden open their WJC camp in the Czech Republic?

 

[SwedeChristoffer]

When does Team Sweden open their WJC camp in the Czech Republic?

Quite late.

They will gather in Uppsala on the 15th and practice there first.
On the 19th they will travel to the Czech republic.
I'm guessing their first practice after the travel will be 20th or 21st.

Nice, so first practice will be in Sweden on the 15th, or 16th?

I Think 16th, but not sure.

 

[Pensionsraddare]

They play the Czechs on 20th and USA 22nd. No Canada in exhibition this year.

 

[VictorLustig]

I hope this isn't what it sounds like it is.

[TheGwy]

Oh Man i was waiting for the tournament to watch this kid play

 

[Pensionsraddare]

Boqvist have been called up from Rockford. I guess that means we will see Söderström on the roster after all.

 

[Wings4Life]

Isn't Sandin expected to be the #1 D for this team? Just under a point a game in the AHL right now. Pretty great group of defensemen regardless.

Boqvist was ahead of Sandin in the powerplay pecking order last year. Boqvist played PP1 while Sandin was on PP2. But Sandin is having a good start to the year.

It might just depend on who joins the team first, which meets in Sweden on Dec. 15th. Boqvist has a game on Dec 13th and then will fly over, Sandin has a match on the 14th, but if he plays that one I don't see him making it for Dec. 15th.

 

[FinPanda]

Probably doesn't mean anything though.

I think Monten would pick Wilsby ahead of Soderstrom.
