WJC: Sweden 2018 Roster Talk

[DDRhockey]

You have one good exhibition game against Denmark and suddenly they will easily beat Canada? Lets not forgot Sweden has found a way to consistently choke in the medal round at this tournament, especially against Canada. Canada is coming in with the #1 goaltender in this tournament and their defense is up their as well...anything can happen when the pressure hits in the medal round.

Wasnt it a canadian poster saying that?

I'm a bit worried that Fjällby's long hair will annoy the opposition and give them extra energy. I get annoyed seeing him out there, looks so stupid and punchable.

This footage is pretty awesome! Like actually being at the game.

This is some great video, big ups to the camera person

Good to know he has a future career in something different if he ends up as a bust

 

[agentblack]

lol thats funny, he 's so versatile

 

[Phil McKraken]

Still needs to work on his editing but his zoom skills are out of this world for a 17-year-old. I've never seen more fluid camera movement from such a young guy.

Anyone know what we can expect the PP to look like?

Assuming Nylander plays, I'd imagine Liljegren and Dahlin on the points, with Nylander, Pettersson, and Boqvist up front. Should be deadly.

Yikes! Who can defend against that. Shades of canada 2005

I thought Boqvist wasn't going??

Edit: nvm wrong Boqvist

Id rather have Andersson in front of the net, not Boqvist

Its Jesper, not Adam.

[VictorLustig]

So Nylander has to be released today?

Nope. Sabres said they wait until next week

Like Statsy pointed out:

The date you have to keep in mind is December 19th... the NHL roster freeze. If it hasn't happened before then, it isn't happening.

Like Statsy pointed out:

Don’t think the roster freeze at applies to AHL players. Although I’m not 100% on that.

Interesting. I guess I assumed they'd be using 4 forwards (andersson, pettersson, Nylander, and _____), 1 defenseman (Dahlin/Liljegren).

Do they usually go 3-2?

If they go 4-1 I really hope Liljegren can snag the first unit, he would pile up the points. Gotta think it's Dahlin's spot to lose though.

I would go 3-2 in a tournament when players do not have a lot of experience with each other. It is not like they don't have several D who could be on there.

I agree. IMO the ideal PP for Sweden would be:

Nylander-Andersson-Pettersson
Dahlin-Liljegren

That's if Nylander makes it for the tournament.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Its almost always better to go 4 forwards and 1 defensmen. 9 times out of 10 the extra forward has better hands and offensive ability than the defensmen to drive a lane to get a scoring chance.

Dahlin and Liljegren is that 1 of 10 so.
