Actually Allsvenskan can be a hard league to score in even if you are Connor McDavid or Austin Matthews.

I think most Allsvenskan teams would play a fairly close game against any NHL team.

The scoring leaders in that league usually get a little more than a point per game. Anze Kopitar in his prime got 34 pts in 31 games. Bobby Ryan also only got a little more than a point per game during the lockout. As did Carl Hagelin.

It’s a solid league with professional players pushing themselves as hard as they can. Ultimately that just shrinks the difference between the top leagues and the leagues that are on lower levels.

Tambs will in all likelihood average about a point per game in Allsvenskan, and if he doesn’t it’s because he ends up in one of those super hot environments.

Today in the hockey world you only really get a walkover opponent if you look at leagues that don’t really prepare and practice as good as it’s possible to do.

Puh-leaze. The difference between the AS & SHL is night and day and the best of the SHL is comparable to the AHL at best.

The only reason Tambo is there is because he decided late on where he wanted to play and the slots had been filled by them.

The reason it’s tough to score is that goalie depth is greater than skater depth throughout hockey.

I think there's a good chance a top Allsvenskan team (which is on par with a low-end SHL team, in theory) could take a low-end NHL team. Just as a team from the KHL, SHL, Liiga, and maybe even the Czech Extraliga could do the same. They're all professional leagues that usually have at least a handful of fringe NHL-caliber players. Some, particularly the KHL, have guys that could definitely be on NHL rosters.

That said, I'm talking about a single game. If you played a best-of-seven, I think the NHL team would win almost every time. Or a best-of-eleven, basically every time. The leagues aren't close enough to the NHL that they would be able to sustain success against an NHL club.

IIRC we did a Euro tour some years ago, and we either lost a game or just looked bad in a few. I know this has happened to other teams as well. Part of it is because the NHL teams aren't in mid-season form whereas the European teams are further along. But the point remains--in a one-game situation a lot of things can happen and an NHL team could absolutely lose.

Yikes. At least he’s got a sense of humor about it

The money line on a neutral site midseason game between the Sens and MODO would be OTT-400.

Time for a GoFundMe to get @nyr2k2 a Kjellberg RPI jersey

OMG. Yes.

 

[Leetch3]

 

[nyr2k2]

Lundkvist is wearing an A. Paired with Adam Ginning, the C. Ginning was the 50th pick in 2018 by Philly.

Henriksson is centering Jonatan Berggren who was picked 33rd by Detroit in 2018. On the other side is Nikola Pasic, 7th rounder by New Jersey from last year.

Fagemo is on the second line. Raymond on the third.

Otteluseuranta

 

[Kovalev27]

I’m watching this game now and it’s been umm boring to say the least. 0-0. The Czech goalie has made some big saves but no one standing out

 

[Kovalev27]

Terrible goal but Lundkvist with the assist 1-0 Sweden late second

 

[nyr2k2]

So Lunker finished with the assist and +1. Henriksson finished -1 with 0 SOG and only played 12:12. His U20 performances haven't been great--he's without a point in 6 official games and only has 2 SOG. Of course he's only 18 so no big deal, but it would be nice to see him get it going with the U20 squad.

 

[JimmyG89]

Might be a 7th rounder, but Ciccolini is playing on Big Ten Network against Nanne and Minnesota

Ciccolini is on the 4th line and was just on the 2nd PP unit

 

[cozandeffect]

Barron with an assist through the 1st. Really good outlet pass.

Ice looks pretty rough tonight and he almost killed his teammate after tripping.

EDIT: Just a quick edit to say that they haven't given Barron the assist yet but don't worry they will.

 

[cozandeffect]

Barron gets a PP goal to open the 3rd. Absolute rip from the left side circle.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Barron’s goal starts at 1:20ish

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I made it to Helsinki for the U20 Four Nations! Lundkvist, Aaltonen, Lindbom and Henriksson are here. Not sure if they'll all play but we will see. I love Helsinki man. Great city to visit. Wonderful people.

Helsinki as in Helsinki, Sweden.

 

[Ola]

Finland is wonderful and Finns even more so. But one caveat, the cuisine isn’t always the best...

 

[usekakkorightquinn]

Can't wait to get Barron on the big club. He's a kid that I think won't need any AHL time.

 

[Ola]

I think it’s very hard to predict how these bigger kids can adopt to the pro game.

I would be very very cautious to count on any instant success from Barron. There are so many examples the last years of were these guys have had a hard time in the AHL not to talk about the NHL.

I am not claiming to have better insight on Barron than anyone else, but I would probably give him a 1% shot at making the NHL instantly and 10% at making the league ever.

What do you think Aaltonin and Henrikksson project as? Third liners?

Doesnt claim to have better insight, gives low odds on making NHL.

 

[nyr2k2]

Robertson had two assists.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

He did say ‘instant success’ and 10% isn’t all that bad considering he was a basically unheard of 6th rounder.

 

[Raspewtin]

this doesn't exactly add anything but I've seen a lot of NHL'ers in real life and let me tell you that Morgan Barron is a BIG mother f***er

 

[Ola]

Doesnt claim to have better insight, gives low odds on making NHL.

Yeah, I meant like, margin of error is bigger, I’ve seen very little of Barron, but if I am taking a wild swing at it — despite reading so much positive — I am still a bit afraid that he will struggle a little with the pace.

Nobody hope that I am wrong more than me!
