Leading Swedish players in NHL playoffs?

This is an ugly and obnoxious thread.
Why? Swedes themselves are criticizing their team. Both players and coaches.
Granqvist said that not a single final game or something during the last six years is unacceptable.

Their former stars with Forsberg and also players like Nordström and others think that they dont come to compete.

And there is a case to be made when plenty of players form the NHL have accepted and represented their nation in the WC's?
Because it safe to write that a lot of the top teams will look different during the olympics? Even the American team who can win a gold medal tonight.

Exactly. Lidtrep is as well known as Nyllet.
In Sweden? If you speak Swedish you would know that nyllet is a funny word and nickname. And that his surname isnt that common.

Why should a English nickname be more accepted or favored than the country he comes from? Makes no sense.
 
What about Nyllet, what about Lidtrep for the Finn’s.
I mean what am i supposed to answer or write, what should i address? I actually dont get it. Sorry mate.

Is this about him performing or his nickname? Or something else. Lol. Yeah, it surely went over my head then.
 
Why hasn’t this thread been locked yet? Just some random dude spouting nonsense, referring to the past, then wants people to ignore history and look forward, then say something obnoxious about other countries and their players, while at the same type hyping “his own”, now that they’re, for once, a bit relevant.

Good for Finland that they have some players winning a Stanley Cup or two. And good for you OP, you really played your part in them winning it, you should feel proud!

When was i referring to the past?
Winning gold medals before are something historical and fine. But if those players in their primes wont participate in a upcoming tournament. How does that then become relevant? Because was i talking about a prime Lidas or a Prime Jagr? Or will they play 2026?
I mean if that isn't ego boosting or being soft? What is?

How am i hyping Finnish players more than some others? Did you miss Drai, Pastrnak, Russian goalies and so on? Is there no room to have different opinions? And why do you get so provoked?
If anything you guys are laughable. Getting annoyed of others dreaming of success and comparing different nations strengths and weaknesses. Like you guys are entitled to be on high horses but no one else? Get over yourself dude. I'm not the one generalizing nationalities in here. I'm judging others takes, just like you do.
And the irony in you mocking others when first questioning the thread. While not contributing with anything or your own takes. Who's the random dude? Both, or just me?

Do you see Canadians mention Gretzky or Lemieux? I don't, not in here. Do they mention a player who was hot a couple of years ago perhaps but not today, like say Tavares or someone? No, haven't seen that either.
There is a big difference. But perhaps you aren't observant enough to recognize it.

Last but not least, are you seriously stating that Russia have been more successful in the olympics than say... Finland or Sweden? I mean people are hyping up Ovie and Malkin who clearly are past their Prime and they haven't won a single Olympic medal if i stand correct? So how in the actual h*ll do you think i'm hyping up the Finns more than others when i've clearly stated that i rank them 1. Canada. 2. US. Finland/Sweden at third.
I just dont share the opinion that Russia has a team on Swedens nor Finlands level. Weakest Dcore and weakest centers. By a big margin as well. Why is that controversial? If you have another take, shoot. Who gives a actual f*ck if we have different opinions? Or if my take is in minority?
I mean at the end of the day. What is this site supposed to be then? You can't talk about politics? What are we supposed to debate then? Or should everyone just agree with you personal takes to make you satisfied and happy?

Read post 1, where you created the thread,
Specifically the third word in the last paragraph. Hope that helps.

He hasnt won anything lately. He's called Nyllet by Swedes themselves.
They lost both of their last games at home with 1-6 against the Panthers.
He couldnt carry his line to anything note worthy against USA.

And i apologize for not understanding what else you want me to address with your posts.

Ahh so one country out of 200 knows that, thanks. Sure took you a long time to get to that point, you didn’t even recognize the name that you used in your own post for some reason, that I originally brought up.

To his defence he was sharp against the Czechs. People call him a loser but he had big part of our gold in 2017. What has Matthews ever won?

I mean he's Swedish? And everyone in Sweden calls him that? He's the only one with his father and brother having a surname starting with those letters in Tre Kronors history. Not the biggest longshot to understand perhaps?

Thats 8 years ago. And dont get me wrong here. He is clearly better than Matthews imo. Marner is complete dogsh*t compared to Nyllet as well.
He's played the tournament plenty of times after that with very good rosters as well.

You know what the biggest irony here and in this site is?
People want the sport to grow. But god forbid if more countries come to compete and while doing so get some confidence on the way.
And the biggest thing then, god forbid if someone questions any of the bigger countries or their current level. It's fine to bash smaller countries but these individuals always fail to realize that they get just as b*tthurt as they are claiming that others get and so on. The hypocrisy is real.
Like what are we supposed to do in here? Lie or k*ss eachothers a*ses?

And i think the biggest reason to why people here get so mad at some finns like myself is because Finland could actually have a damn good roster in these next Olympics. And a lot of us are just truly optimistic. Is that so f*cking wrong or even surprising? Are we just here to exist to admire others? Like are you guys being real? How f*cking arrogant and hypocritical of you if anything.
I mean i think a lot of other "Smaller" countries would like to be in the same seat as Finland. Say Belarus or perhaps even current Slovakia? Who knows.

And the irony, inconcistency of talking about the past and stating Finland would be inferior to Russia in these latest Olympics or even last decade? Like how the actual f*ck do you guys comprehend facts and science irl? "No, let's just create a standpoint based on air and bash others because we are superior because i think so".
Like if anything, you are ones being the biggest hypocrites and over sensitive supporters there is. Come down from the air bubble.

And the biggest indication on people cheering for "bigger countries" being the most sensitive? Making this thread about Russia or Finland. When it's mostly about Sweden. And the main reason to this thread was because Sweden both historically and lately during Olympics have been one of the greatest nations. A whole lot better than say... Russia. It's not a hot take even.
That's why it's interesting and valid to question their team and being curious about what fans and especially their own fans think or believe regarding the future.
