WC: General Talk '14 — Sweden

[SixGoalieSystem]

Lol @ Sweden's coach ripping Norway for playing too defensively.

Team Norway has one player with NHL experience going up against Team Sweden's 10. I think MÃ¥tts should probably focus on getting his team to play decent hockey, rather than ripping a huge underdog for trying to steal a point.

No hate for Tre Kronor btw. I always root for them when Norway are out.

Yes, MÃ¥rts is an idiot.

Really hope Brodin comes.

Who the **** cares as long as he wins.

Brodin isn't coming, it seems. Got this quote from the Finnish thread:

Erik Haula tweeted that he is heading to Minsk to represent Finland in the world championships. Haula is the only Wild player participating, I'm told.

Well that could mean only on the finnish team.

Anyway they might not even ask him to come if they feel he needs to much time to adjust to big ice. most nhl dmen have been **** in these tournys if you recall.

Can Loui play defense?

They did ask him but he apparently said no.

Nisse hasn't been playing his best hockey since february. Hoping he can step it up otherwise I'd much rather seen a guy like A Larsson get the call.

 

[EK47]

I'm sorry if this offends anyone but I'd rather they just roll the defenders they have instead of bringing Burström in he is clearly not good enough.

If he plays like in Channel One Cup he is, if he plays like in OHG he isn't.

Erik Gustafsson ill?

 

[Bjornee]

Niclas Burström already out? He left ice tonite, what happend?

He got Jagr-cramp. No problem with him.

A lot of talk about our supposed poor D but I think our lack of scoring depth is far more concerning.

We've allowed 5 goals through 4 games, and on average we're giving up 21 SOG/game.. Our penalty kill is 94%. No matter the opponent that's very good. Unfair criticism because of one or two individual errors.

But we've scored 11 goals.. that's not so good considering we've played France, Norway and Denmark. We literally have one line that can score, with Nyquist and Klasen doing some very sporadic individual moves. That's not enough.

Try Nyquist-Sjögren-Hjalmarsson. Axelsson-Ericsson-Klasen. Rasmussen-Lundqvist-Järnkrok. Never play Danielsson another second, put Erixon on the PP.

 

[jfc64]

I'm going to bet heavy on Canada against Sweden omorrow.

 

[Pentothal]

Can't believe I can't get myself excited for the tournament. I've watched half a game so far, but will watch the Canada game tomorrow. I wonder what the Swedish tv ratings are like this year. Even on here the Slovakia game only has a 2 page GDT.

I feel the same. The lack of NHL-players take away my interest (as I primarily follow NHL and not SHL very much).

klasen is sooo good.

funny how nashville shat on him.

How bad is Lindström's groin injury? Any predictions if he's able to play in quaterfinals or not?

Viewership so far ranging from 670k against Denmark to 1,2m against the Czechs. Surprisingly the game against Canada only was the fifth highest with 900k viewers at most.

I don't think it was too bad.
