WC: 2023 Sweden Roster Talk

[EK47]

They finish second and still have to go to Riga. f*** sake.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Sweden always have a strong team so they will win

latvia won over czechia and switzerland.

sweden was not strong in 2019, not in 2021, not in 2022, and we are not strong this year either. 2018 last time we got past qf

 

[Henkka]

Oh dear, the flight takes less than 1 hour.

And it's 15minute trip from Tampere to Pirkkala airport.

Nothing like NHL or KHL teams has to travel.

I still think its an unfair advantage. I get the scheduling issues.. I really don’t want Sweden to play Latvia in Riga honestly I think its worse than playing Canada.

 

[Eye of Ra]

why is it that we in every tournament always get injuries on key players? we are cursed

Beat the US and the problem disappears...

 

[EK47]

Or maybe Latvia should have finished 2nd and Sweden 3rd and I’d have no problem with this.

The ice must be much better in Riga by default so that's a positive.

Forwarden skadade sig – nu kallar Tre Kronor in ersättare

Petersson likely out for tournament, Dennis Rasmussen recalled on emergency basis

 

[weklof]

Official. Petersson out for tournament. Sandin day-to-day. Rasmussen and Folin called in

 

[EK47]

Feel bad for Petersson he was literally playing the best hockey of hi career.

 

[theslatcher]

PP1 without Petersson just won't work, the only way they could score goals is with Petersson beating the goalie.

It is time for Alex Nylander to step up. He is here to contribute offensively. I assume he becomes regular now and Rasmussen is 13th, 14th forward

If Alex can play well against the US he should be able to do it against the other teams in this tournament aswell.

Bakslaget: Stjärnan fick kliva av träningen

RIGA. Det såg ut att finnas hopp om spel för Rasmus Sandin, som inledningsvis fanns med på den svenska träningen. Men hopp byttes snabbt mot förtvivlan när Tre

Sandin(and Zetterlund) back on ice at practice.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Rasmussen hahahaha.

They updated with Sandin aborting practise after pain

I think we can overcome Latvia without Sandin, but he will be vital in semis and final

Let's play a prediction game: Top 3 Point Predictions for the tournament for Swedish players?
Feel free to add any reasoning also if needed.

Example:

1. Raymond 7+3 = 10 pts
2. Carlsson 4+5 = 9 pts
3. Silfverberg 5+3 = 8 pts

well that did not age well. Silfverberg has 0 points in 7 games. He is useless in the offensive zone

 

[EK47]

well that did not age well. Silfverberg has 0 points in 7 games. He is useless in the offensive zone

Well, he wrote example. It’s not like it was an actual guess.

 

[EK47]

Delete.

 

[weklof]

To be honest I am little surprised. I know he has lost almost all his speed, but he used to have lethal shot. Thought he'd pot at least a couple against the weaker nations

 

[Eye of Ra]

Anther player who dont produce, and never does with Tre Kronor in WC is Jonathan Pudas. He is solid, but where is the points? In 18 WC games he has 4 points.
