Tomasek out and Kodytek in. Shame. I feel like we have some great snipers in Europe right now and Tomasek is absolutely one of them!

Tomasek leads the points league in the SHL in Färjestad.

Dennis Rasmussen is in. I just dont understand what Hallam sees in him. Mediocre Shl player. If hallam wants a veteran why not just pick Johan Larsson who is better and tougher?

Also Lang, Filip Johansson and Cederqvist is in.

Dahlen, Pudas, Nygård and Lindholm is out.

Always lots of declines in EHT.

I sometimes wonder what is even the point of inviting long shot vets to these EHT tournaments. If they not concievebly could make the worlds roster (like Friberg etc). Like there is almost no chance Andreasson or Karlqvist makes the Worlds squad (If they do, we have a major problem), so why invite them to play meaningless exhibition games? I think it be much better to invite young players that could be part of the national team in the future so they get some international experience

Finland:
Kristian Vesalainen (HIFK) has transfered to team and Markus Nurmi (Luleå) is out of team due to injury.

These tourneys mean nothing BUT it's nice to see us win. Gazda had himself a nice game from the point. Kacetl is a 30+ debutant played very well.

Means nothing but happy!

Only possible outcome IMO

Necas will be a 100 point player
Hronek will be a 50 point player
Pasta will be defending Rocket winner
Kulich will be a 40 goal scorer
Jiricek will be a 25 minute all situation Dman
Sale will be a .ppg player
Hertl and Zacha will be our 1 and 2C
Gudas will crush a few Swedes/Finns/Canucks/Americans
Dostal will be a Vezina winner
Svozil will be a full timer
The NHL will realize they were wrong about Kral and he will be on a 1 way contract
Spacek will be full time

If all that happens, the gold is all but ours.lol

Rasmussen 1C wearing an A. Sam Hallam is a big joke.

Finland up by 2 vs the Czechs after the first. Rajala's shot was filthy.

 

[Czechboy]

Finn's anhilated us today.lol Much better skaters today!

it's over
We are getting relegated now

 

[Jussi]

Nice comeback by Finland vs Sweden in the second period, from 0-2 to a 3-2 lead.

 

[Jussi]

Harri Pesonen killing Sweden in this game!

 

[Czechboy]

Czechs looked great aginst Swiss. No idea what kind of team the Swiss sent though. We had several looks at an empty net and couldn't hit it though.. .hillarious sequences of posts and missed nets to gup 6-2.lol

Thought we did well. Finns beat the shit out of us but looked good in other 2 games. Nice to see castoffs Kaut and Zohorna scoring for us!

 

[Eye of Ra]

Shit tournament from Sweden. Lost all 3 games. Oskar Steen one of the few who did good. Next tournament is in Switzerland, 9-15 december. Not hard to figure out what the team will look like. Basically a team full of NLAers, just like previous years. Not sure if Adam Reidenborn, Jakob Lilja and Pontus Åberg still are banned. All 3 are nt level.

Marcus Sörensen - Lucas Wallmark - Jesper Fröden
Fredrik Olofsson - Victor Ejdsell - Lias Andersson
Jacob de la Rose - Victor Rask - Malte Strömvall
Andreas Wingerli - Simon Ryfors - Joakim Nordström

Patrik Nemeth - Tim Heed
Theodor Lennström - Lukas Bengtsson
Klas Dahlbeck - Niklas Hansson
Viktor Lööv

Shl goalies since we only have 1 goalie in NLA which is Adam Reidenborn who probably is banned.

Not exactly a sexy team.

When are the EHT teams ever?

I so wish that they'd bring at least a few youngsters and see if they pop. I'd rather fail with U23 team that features future best-on-best players instead of tired Euro vets who are not good enough for the Worlds anyway.

A U23 team from SHL would look something like this;

Gidlöf
Thelin

Forsmark - Nyström
Forsfjäll - Pelikka
Fransson - Sjöholm
Jansson

Stjernborg - Filip Eriksson - Forsell
Born - Oscarsson - Wiktor Nilsson
Stenberg - Edstrom - Niederbach
Vuollet - Felix Nilsson - Träff
Oliver Johansson

Shortage of goalkeepers. Had to deep into HA. But a fun team. Thought they would probably lose all games.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Another "fun" idea is to send a team with only players from Allsvenskan or Liiga. Would be interesting to see how such teams would do. And for those players it would be like the biggest thing in their life. They would play with extreme passion.

Who cares about EHT-losses if your team is gonna be full of NHL:ers anyway at May? I bet every single swedish nhl players who has an contract, joins Tre Kronor. Not everybody available even makes the final team.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Swiss hockey games starts 9 december and yet no words on any rosters. Nla teams being hesitate to let go off their players?
