WC: 2023 Sweden Roster Talk

[weklof]

Dear god why

To keep him away from the broadcast booth?

 

[EK47]

To keep him away from the broadcast booth?

Yes let him destroy Junior players formative years instead.

 

[theslatcher]

Forsling doing his best to reunite the Nylanders.

 

[Slimmy]

Whats the word on: Elmer Söderblom, Carl Grundström and Victor Olofsson?

Whats the word on: Elmer Söderblom, Carl Grundström and Victor Olofsson?

No word. Grundström said to a Kings reporter that he'd accept an invite if extended. Olofsson has not said anything what I have seen. Söderblom is likely not invited.

Team Sweden management has adopted a policy that they only comment on players until everything is official and they are on the roster.

The SVT play-by-play guy, Chris Härenstam, said something like "We know there are players who have gotten the question and have yet to reply", during the broadcast yesterday. I guess he has some inside knowledge.

The preliminary roster will be announced Thuesday:

I hope Elmer gets an invite. Big, skilled and loads of potential. Not many of those around.

 

[Eye of Ra]

You obviously don't have a wife?

she can come to wc with her husband?

And pretty physical aswell. Rather have him than lazy soft passive Silfverberg.

 

[Slimmy]

If it was my wife she would have liked some "us" time.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Alex Holtz?

 

[EK47]

Alex Holtz?

I don’t see what he’d bring that isn’t already on the team. A center of equal quality maybe.

 

[weklof]

The Johansson-line resting, as well as Tömmernes

 

[theslatcher]

The Johansson-line resting, as well as Tömmernes

Just a 4th line swap on the forwards, Wallstedt vs Finland I take it.

 

[EK47]

That 4th line just neglects to change and gets stuck in their own zone for ages.

Häman Aktell and Persson are both horrible.

Really shit second period overall.

I’ve NEVER seen Sweden so bad against Czechia before. This is not good.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Hrubec'ed.

Excited to watch Wallstedt in net tomorrow vs finns

 

[Eye of Ra]

Aktell, Persson, Everberg, Petersson and Folin are not good enough.

Sandin - Nemeth
Tömmernäs - Bengtsson
Lindholm - Pudas

Berggren - Leo - Raymond
Nylander - Lindberg - Silfverberg
Zetterlund - Lindholm - Sörensen
Johansson - De la Rose - Brännström

Yup. Nylander 2xJr. Looks like he could be a good addition though.
Also you forgot Sörensen. I’d rather have no one on the ice than him. I’d go Brännström on the third Rasmussen on the fourth. Rest on the stands if there are no new additions. Wait it out as long as possible. Also if they get no one else please bring over Elmer. He is far better than any of Rasmussen, Everberg, Sörensen, Johansson, DLR or even Zetterlund who has been underwhelming unfortunately.

Or possibly gamble and don’t even play a full team. Its just not good enough.

He’s clearly skilled enough. It’s all dependent on what Hallam has got up his sleeve.

Lindberg, Johansson and Tömmernes and of course, Carlsson.

Keep those from europe replace the rest with whatever you can find in the NHL/etc.

This is why europe really needs to be competitive again. There is no parity at all.

 

[weklof]

Some line juggling today. Leo, Silfverberg and Pudas scratched.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

No Carlsson = boring

 

[Kibe]

No Carlsson = boring

That's a shame. Wanted to see Carlsson - Raymond duo.

 

[weklof]

I'm hoping this means that Leo is a lock and Hallam wanted to give players competing for a spot a last chance

 

[weklof]

So which players are fighting not to get cut here? Assuming there are no more additions and 1D and 1F will go.

I'd say Everberg, Brännström, Sörensen and Petersson on F. Persson, Häman Aktell and Folin on D

 

[weklof]

Wallstedt is looking tight, no rebounds
