Not sure what we will be able to gauge from these games. Feels like Sweden are a couple of notches above Norway. Sweden is driving play and Norway has trouble keeping up.
So many grinders on the team Everberg, Rasmussen, Bengtsson, de la Rose, Sylvegård, Lang. Hopefully they will start to get cut. We don't more than two players like that.
Hopefully they will keep Leo Carlsson. Wouldn't mind him being 13, 14th forward at the WC and gain some experience

Lang is not a grinder even thought he works hard. He is a magician with the puck.
Isac Brännström is a really good player btw, very underated.

Finland have invited Manninen, AHL player. Maybe Hallam should look in AHL aswell. Many good swedes in AHL.

I've liked Johannesson, doubt he'll have a spot at Worlds considering the types of NHL additions, but has been most fun dman to watch today.

Chris Härenstam said during the broadcast that "the center depth looks good already". I highly disagree, if any of these centers is the 2C behind Elias, I am worried. Rasmussen and de la Rose I don't like. Leo Carlsson is not ready. Johansson and Bengtsson I'd be content with as 4C, but not higher in the line up.
Everberg and Rasmussen on the powerplay along with Petersson and Borgman is so shit.. I don’t even have the words.

Can't see Everberg, Rasmussen, & Borgman staying on the team for much longer.

Probably thought the forwards would be better than they are now(also, net front is net front). As for Borgman on the PP? No idea there.

Honestly its not impossible thats the worst pp combination I have seen in my life.
Fire your assistants and kill your darlings Sam!
Hallam makes the same mistake as Rönnberg in Frölunda. Borgman on the PP is desperation, when Hasa played there, suddenly there was a lot more movement, skating and shooting. Sad if your team's best defender in the playoffs is a youngster like Hasa and Borgman is playing worse. Filip Johansson literally tragic.
Maybe he wants to give them a last chance? Who knows? Although I have to say given the games against Denmark and Norway its not quite what I remember from Växjö.
I feel confident in him finding the perfect role for Pettersson atleast. If any coach knows Pettersson its Hallam.
If we look at his EHC season it reminds me of Växjö, its not perfect but they’ve found ways to win.

Where is Anton Lander and Lucas Wallmark? They are much better than Linus Johansson, Rasmussen etc.
I wonder that too, especially Lander. But maybe he was just given rest like Dahlén and will be added later.
Not more than 4-5 players out of this group is good enough for the Worlds IMO, We need a lot of additions going forward.

Nils Ekman said already at the Danmark games that "lots of players in this squad will make the WC team".
