WC: Roster Talk '12 — Sweden

[jfc64]

Seems like the best team you've had in a long time.

Yep! And without our four best players!

Zetterberg is definitely your top-4 player. Sedins, Lundqvist & Z.

 

[Freudian]

With the tournament being played in Sweden, I'd be very surprised if Karlsson isn't playing. It'll get solved.

Or Bäckis.

That's why I dared to tell my Karlsson-Alfredsson joke

Accordning to this Erik Karlsson wants to play! His agent is working on a deal with the swedish icehockey federation and the agent believes it is going to be finished today.

They do have a policy but they do also have a limit (moneywise). The General Manager of Team Sweden received the question: "Do the Swedish icehockey federation have the money to insure Erik Karlsson?". They replied: - We don't know yet. But we must of course draw a line if its too expensive. Harshly translated.

They also state in the article that since Erik Karlsson is out of a contract the insurance company has to value his cost/risks. It could turn out to be expensive.

Considering the scam prices the Swedish hockey federation is charging for tickets, 1500 SEK is the cost of the cheapest ticket to the Sweden-Russia game right now surely the least they can do for the Swedish hockey fans is to pay the money needed to insure Karlsson.

Yeah, because the cheapest tickets usually sellout last

That'd be great, would be fun seeing Karlsson play the WC.

That guy doing the interviews is annoying.. Sounds like he's 12 and he starts every question with 'men'.

I'm cheering for Sweden and hope you guys win gold with Alfie, EK and Silfver!

I hope classic Finale Finland - Sweden for home tournament. Silverberg and others should be happy coming 2nd on the tournament.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Alfredsson thinking of playing for Sweden at worlds.

wut?

 

[Trotzig]

I hope classic Finale Finland - Sweden for home tournament. Silverberg and others should be happy coming 2nd on the tournament.

Ironically, the home team never wins the final

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

abit hard to predict wich players who will stay when everyone is playing like ****

 

[joe89]

Pretty bad. Even guys like Andersson and Persson that usually at least brings something to the table look completely out of sorts. But yeah, the good news is that only Jarnkrok, Larsson, Lundqvist and Pettersson need a spot while the rest of the offense figures itself out.

Larsson has been pale imo.

I found info on the roster question I asked earlier. 22 people in hockey outfits are allowed. We start with 2+7+11 for a few games leaving two spots open:

Eriksson - Zetterberg - Franzén
Silfverberg - Järnkrok - Landeskog
Larsson - Krüger - Stålberg
Persson - Lundqvist - Pettersson

Kronwall - Ericsson
Hedman - Hjalmarsson
Ekholm - Kronwall

Decision from Alfredsson tomorrow, Karlsson on monday. havent heard anything on Samuelsson.

I loved this guy, played pretty good game. I just wonder if Red Wings will get him after next season, when his contract expires? Anyway great pick by Detroit again.

Sweden has been every teams whipping boy leading up to the WHC. A lot of players has to be thrown out, unfortunately it won't be enough players that will become replace by the NHL´ers. I wouldn't get my hopes up for this team.

We are basically replacing the top 9 forwards with NHL players and adding 3 or 4 defencemen, I would say thats an entirely different team. The current team is not very good, not even our most skilled european guys are on it.

 

[Franck]

Yeah, I wouldn't make too many conclusion based on the team that played yesterday, only a handful of them will be playing in the big tournament.

Why do you want Persson? Guy like Zackrisson is much better.

 

[leksig]

Haha kinda funny that Burrows is going to play in the worlds. The Vancouver management have changed their minds I see.
