WC: Roster Talk '12 — Sweden

[Manny*]

Bud Holloway didn't even get an invitation?

The team is really shaping up!

The question that remains is how is MÃ¥rts coahing really, and is he getting the best out of his material? The team looked awful in this tournament, and I think a lot of players played under their normal level. I mean I know Niklas Persson for example, can play hockey and is knowned to be a smart player with hockey sense, and he just looked absolutely worthless and made tons of stupid plays theese last few games. They all looked very out of synch with very little chemistry.

When so many players underperform at once, you might think there is something wrong with the coaching and the team spirit.

I hope we get to see Rönnberg as coach before 2014

He's not Swedish?

Well, Team Canada didn't even invite Spezza, so I doubt Holloway would get one

Lets not blame canucks management, that woman is just pretending to be stopped so she can avoid the heat from media.

Btw anyone else also thinks the media burning players and trainers in between periods have a really bad effect? thankfully fjäll wont be at the wc but you know how wikegård is...

Yep, exactly what I've been trying to say. He doesn't want to play for Team Sweden, but doesn't have the balls to say it. Instead, he uses the 'nucks as an excuse. Oh, and didn't he say he was injured too? You just knew that Burrows would be "allowed" to participate in the WC's. You just knew it

Look at Lidström and Murray. Now those guys know how to decline. I'm sorry, but Henrik Sedin is just looking so bad right now, with almost everyone else going to play infront of their home-crowd and whatnot.

 

[McGlassbangers]

I agree with you guys. IMO Henrik Sedin doesn't deserve a spot to Sochi 2014.

 

[Systemfel]

MÃ¥rts is signed through the 13-14 season.

 

[Manny*]

He's not Swedish?

I got confused because he has such a common Swedish name.

 

[Sens With Benefits]

Hope this isn't alfies swan song But honestly unless you play Canada in the gold I'm going Sweden all the way.

 

[Huxflux]

I hope not, he should stay with the U-18/20, doing a very good job there right now.

 

[Huxflux]

Is Henrik Sedin getting grilled in the media?

Update me, what's the story? I haven't kept upto date with roster changes and who's in and out etc.

 

[BLBarmada]

So your goalie is Fatsh ?

 

[Alfredsson11]

Will Alfie be captain?

 

[Pentothal]

Will Alfie be captain?

Would be pretty shocking if he wasn't named captain.

 

[TonsofPuppies*]

Sweden has a pretty solid roster. If I were a betting man, they'd have mine to win the gold at this point. Did Karlsson get added?

Supposed to make a decision by tomorrow. By the sounds of it, there may be an insurance issue due to the fact that Karlsson does not have a contract beyond July 1st yet.

 

[Franck]

What an absolute hero Daniel Alfredsson is!

 

[Lehner]

I've never done this before but Go Sweden, even over Canada this year.

 

[BoHorvat53]

Henrik is probably healthy enough to play, but I doubt he's 100%.

He got pretty banged up this year but played though all the injuries. The fractured foot comes to mind. This year he's had to deal with more injuries than usual and I don't blame him for skipping out on the WC.

 

[wreckless]

lol at couch potatoes questioning Henriks heart/decision.

 

[OmniSens]

Will Alfie be captain?

If not, there's something wrong here

 

[Namejs]

ALFIE
KARLSSON
SILFVERBERG

 

[weklof]

Would be pretty shocking if he wasn't named captain.

Really? I still believe that Zetterberg will be namned captain. Alfredsson should get an A though

Bud Holloway is a Swedish name.....?

Hope this isn't alfies swan song But honestly unless you play Canada in the gold I'm going Sweden all the way.

Sweden has lost six straight exhibition game.







Henrik Sedin is a joke. Alfie had a concussion during the playoffs, came back for the two final games and is now attending the WC despite being 300 years old.
