WJC: Sweden 2019 Roster Talk

[EK47]

Eh, he has the same role Brännström had last year, so wouldn't say that.

I kind of thought Brännström was able to handle more last year though.

 

[aphyro]

Switzerland have literally only pulled off one upset in the last 20 years in the playoffs at the WJC, and that was vs. Russia in 2010 lol.

What'll probably lose us the game is everybody being ill.

yeah 20years but Swiss hockey is on it's rising and should not be underestimated they can pull this off, I hope im dead wrong about it but i got a bad feeling in my stomach.

 

[VictorLustig]

Liked Brännström against Finland a lot but he's made some really bad plays the last couple of games. Sometimes it's better to just make the simple pass instead of holding on to the puck.

Agree on Kazakhstan game(but who wasn't playing bad/meh in that? Maybe Fagemo?), but otherwise I can only think of one play I'd go as far to say was "really bad".

 

[jfc64]

I think it is probably a pretty safe assumption to make that Dahlin won't be available for this tournament.

Next year! When he have his sophomore slump and is sent down to AHL!

Dahlin - Boquist
Sandin - Söderström
Lundqvist - Ginning
Björnfot - Broberg
Johansson...

New thread for 2020 now, or should this thread keep on rolling with Monten bashing?

This was mostly on the players. Lack of talent became evident today, the lack of effort surprised me however.

 

[Chimpradamus]

When you can't connect a basic pass that you learned as a 7 year old, you don't deserve to play in a world tournament. And when you're as alive as a corpse behind the bench, you don't look very inspiring as a coach to make them connect basic passes, that 7 year olds can make.

50/50, if this was going to work both parts needed to show up, neither did. Got outworked, outskated, & outcoached.

Home injured, apparently. But there are ones in Luleå, & Djurgården.

E: nvm, he means Eriksson, right?

I would guess so. Berggren is a small leftie.

Yeah I'm tired, originally included Raymond too.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Monten could've picked an extra few skill guys up front. Raymond, Holtz, Gunler all were options. Eriksson and Berggren also would've brought more skill than some of the forwards.

It’s not an option to pick a player who only played J20 Superelit into a tournament like this.

 

[Zaddy]

I didn't watch the game, what exactly happened and how did they lose?

 

[rickardr]

The leading offensive players were s**t. And Also was Montens coaching.

Well we were beaten by a team that includes a couple of guys playing in J20 SuperElit so...

 

[FinPanda]

Vancouver is awful city for Sweden. 2006 wjc, 2010 olympics and 2019 wjc.

Yeah. Sedins and Elias Pettersson doing fine though

True, only Swedish players for Canucks seem to do well.

 

[absolute garbage]

Was Sweden missing any difference maker level forwards from this tournament? Feel like they had everyone eligible there. It's kinda weird how little forwards the country produces when you compare it to all their stud defensemen. Finns are missing basically a first line.

Is Bemstrom the best U20 forward currently? In the last four drafts, it seems like Pettersson is the only high-end forward to come out of Sweden. Bratt is okay. Andersson and Nylander were high picks but I'm not sure how they'll do.

"Nånstans have Lundeström and Zetterlund been with us since U16 so they deserved to be the ones out there with 2 minutes left"
