WJC: Sweden 2019 Roster Talk

[TheBeastCoast]

I wish Canada had a goalie suspended for a game. It would force them to bring 3 goalies, always annoys me that they never do.

They will next year to Europe. If one of the goalies is injured then someone just gets on a plane to Vancouver.

Sweden just called up a fourth goalie. Is one of them injured?

Seems like it's because of Eriksson-Ek's suspension, and that he'll probably return when that is over?

 

[PatrikBerglund]

It seems like Sweden loses a top player just before every WJC.

we always get 3 players injured when playing against canada in a pre-tournament game.

Whoa! Don't blame this on us, we haven't even played you guys.

 

[oooooooooohCanada]

The usual narrative has begun already and the games have just started.

You can set your watch by it.

Big loss for Sweden.

First PP-unit during practice yesterday was Boqvist-Brännström-Lundeström-Zetterlund-Sveningsson

Not sure about Lundeström and Svenningsson on the 1st unit. Want to see Bemström and Elvenes on the PP as much as possible. Boqvist or Brännström should play the full 2 minutes IMO.

 

[Prntscrn]

I agree with Bemström and Elvenes. My pp1 would probably look something like this. Whould prefer a RHS in the middle that's why I have Fagemo there for the moment. Both Elvenes and Olofsson would be able to find Bemström with cross ice passes. Damn he's good at finding the net when he get the chance in powerplay. If the other team focus on shutting him out the other four are capable of taking advantage and be deadly

What's the pulse on Sweden's goalie situation?

Ersson or Ahman gonna get the net for the start? Are they going to OEE after his suspension no matter what or will they potentially roll with the guy who starts the tournament if he plays well enough?

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Looking forward to Swe-Fin game! Too bad you guys lost Liljegren.

Should be the one who plays the best, from previous U20 tournaments none of the 3 have really made a good case for themselves. They also just recently brought in Jesper Eliasson who will be there unless a guy gets hurt I guess?

Lundestrom was really solid in his short time in Anaheim. I don't think it's a bad move to at least start him there.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Sandin playing for Sweden?

Zetterlund was 1st PP unit last year and was very effective in the role, no reason to take him off this year. He is a bull in front and has a great shot.

Thing is I prefer a left handed player in that role the way I want to set it up(just as I prefer a RHS where I put Fagemo), but yeah it was hard to write him of. Since I see Elvenes running it from the right I just like the angles better when dropping down to the left of the goal being able to drive in on net or pass it up on a one timer to Fagemo or Bemström. Bemström has been amazing in the SHL with his movement opening up passing lanes for Elvenes and Olofsson in this case which his why he is leading the league in goals

Han missar genrepet mot Danmark

Ragnarsson hasn't practiced with the team in 2 days, and will miss the Denmark game.

Fair enough, I wasn't really looking at it objectively based and shots. I juat can't wait to get this going. Anyone know the lines?

Vapnet i powerplay – följer trenden i NHL

PP2:
Sandin, Bemström, Holmberg, Elvenes, & Leufvenius.

Still don't know why Bemström, Sweden's best goalscorer, isn't on PP1.
