WC: General Talk '14 — Sweden

[Eye of Ra]

Thuresson or Sjögren who gets cut .

If Thuresson or Sjögren gets cut, Mårts should get a visit by Aschberg.

We need some physical power upfront.

3 skilled lines and then a good checking-unit: Thuresson - Lundqvist - Sjögren.

 

[joe89]

We certainly look like a team that will finish 3-4 in the group and be underdogs in the quarter. The upside is that we have 23 fully motivated players.

I would put Järnkrok and Nyquist together, they played together briefly to start the season. Can't be worse than our current 2nd line. A big body with them, Ericsson or Thuresson preferably.

Cuts in order: Rasmussen, Hersley, Danielsson, Olausson.

 

[m4tt145]

Skellefteå guys looked really good today, im not as worried about the team after todays performance, and it will only get better when we get some firepower up front and a good defenseman in Gustafsson.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

They want to add Tim Erixon

I know you like physical players however with the sub par skating that Lundqvist and Sjögren has I don't think that they handle the tempo of these games well enough to be an effective fourth line

Who? Carl Söderberg?

 

[punchonico99]

Is Thörnberg a lock? (that's why he's not playing) or did they simply not take him? (which would be an awesomely dumb decision).

I'd like some clarifications since he's better than some of the guys in this roster.

Thanks

He's probably talking about Nyquist.

Mårts said that Thörnberg was welcome to play if he wanted.

Saw something on twitter that he said to J-nytt that he won't play, but it's behind paywall.

Ok, thank you. He's my favorite player that's why I want him to play

How about Ullström? 4 pts in 6 games in EHT. Any news about him?

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Hersley, Olausson, Karlsson cut

 

[Eye of Ra]

Hersley, Olausson, Karlsson cut

Hersley and Olausson - ok.

But Rasmussen instead of Karlsson?

 

[Eye of Ra]

So that gives us...


Nyqvist - Järnkrok - Hjalmarsson
Möller - Backlund - Lindström
Klasen - Ericsson - Axelsson
Thuresson - Lundqvist - Sjögren

Danielsson and Rasmussen, but this 2 guys should stay on the bench. But MÃ¥rts will probaly use them as checkers, dear god. :/

 

[Eye of Ra]

And

Nilsson
Eriksson
Ullmark


Ekholm - Gustavsson
Fransson - Burström
Rahimi - Ahnelöv
Andersén - Nygren

 

[punchonico99]

Axelsson is uncertain for WC.

[Exarz]

What could the reason be that Hersley didn't play good? Has he already signed with a club?

 

[Shyguy]

What could the reason be that Hersley didn't play good? Has he already signed with a club?

Or maybe he simply isn't good enough for this level of hockey.

 

[m4tt145]

What could the reason be that Hersley didn't play good? Has he already signed with a club?

I don't believe he has signed with any club yet. The reason is that this level is a bit too much for him, his strengts aren't in the defensive zone, and that's where he was struggling. He could use one or two years in Sweden before he is ready to take the next step.

 

[EK47]

Tim Erixon confirmed

 

[joe89]

It's a good thing they realized that our D isn't mobile enough. There's some upside with Gustafsson, Ekholm and Erixon too.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Tim Erixon confirmed

I guess Nygren will leave?

 

[EK47]

I guess Nygren will leave?

Idk I think we need a right handed pp d-man.. my guess would be Burström?
