World Cup: 4 Nations Tournament - Team Sweden (2025)

[SeanMoneyHands]

I hope Pettersson is not the #1C, he has low confidence right now.

When healthy, Ek is a physical beast. Whatever tests they do in the Wild preseason, he has always been head and shoulders above the rest in conditioning.
He's obviously dealing with something right now.

He must really want a piece of this tournament, because I think the time off would do him a world of good.

Disastrous center lineup. Pettersson has been a complete dud for the last years. Worse than he's ever been. 50 point forward despite ton ice ice time and PP-play

Zibanejad is terrible this year. Basically same situation as Pettersson except he's also terrible defensively

Eriksson Ek also has a down year but at least he's only a 3rd line center and is good defensively.

Leo Carlsson, 30 point forward who lost his swagger, 3 points in the last 14 games.

It's not all about points as a Centre, EP still has all the same talent as before and after a summer of no training among others he's finally healthy and I bet he plays a huge role for my darkhorse pick in this tourny.

If they win one game they should win the "bragdguld" .

 

[FinPanda]

I feel like the lines are quite disappointing. Quite a few off the top players are having an off season too.. I guess Finland and Sweden are just there when USA and Canada play for the win.

This is a strong team, I think they can beat Canada for sure if all the moody egos come together.

I hope Pettersson is not the #1C, he has low confidence right now.

He's better than DJ ZBAD. Also Nylander can play C.

 

[PanniniClaus]

So what is best guess for tomorrow night?

Gustavsson or Ullmark?

Lines settled?

We could beat Canada but only if Karlsson, Hedman, Arvidsson, Ep and Zibanejad returns to their prime. Which wont happen.

Lines settled?

Ullmark's the starter, so him.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Can't say it's undeserved given his recent play but seeing Elias at 4C is a bit of a bummer.

 

[Lenny Levino]

Can't say it's undeserved given his recent play but seeing Elias at 4C is a bit of a bummer.

Which Elias?

 

[theslatcher]

Which Elias?

Lindholm.

So, Gus is starting. That's... Odd.

 

[NyQuil]

This is a great spot for Sweden to be in.

No pressure, get Canada right away.

TSN's cringeworthy patriotic media is already pushing the pro-Canada storylines so I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of a 2002-style result that "stuns" everyone.
