WJC: Sweden 2019 Roster Talk

[EK47]

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

That’s because he chose not to go with any offensive forwards really.

 

[EK47]

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

Good thing no actual coach is going to use that line of reasoning... Oh.. wait.

 

[theslatcher]

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.

Bemström & Elvenes are the best ones born 99-00, yeah. Our 2019 draft will be lackluster to say when it comes to forwards. Our 2020 class looks great, though: Raymond, Holtz, Gunler, and looking like Nybeck might also be great.

Just fire him now, plz

Just fire him now, plz

Monten might be the worst jr coach we ever had wasting medal chances.

Great character

You just gotta laugh. I like how he says they went through their policy about such things after the loss, and directly after that they go out partying.

Terrible. Dont want to see a single of them back next year.

Not everybody went out partying.

 

[Prntscrn]

Ugh I see Bemström on the clip. Little f***er should be on his way home back to work

 

[rickardr]

In that clip i can see Lundeström, Brännström, Elvenes, Zetterlund, Svenningsson, Bemström & Bäck. Don’t have a clear view of the other ones.

Overreaction.

Drinking age in B.C. is 19, so if Bäck was there... Well...

 

[VictorLustig]

A lot of these guys played their final game together in a Sweden jersey. I don't mind them having some fun after the game. Filming it and posting it on social media is beyond stupid however, doesn't look good at all.

 

[fredligh]

Of course this team should've won against the Swiss but if you compare the teams Switzerland really have some good players and we have a weak -99 crop with not enough elite talent to make up for it. The coming years will be really fun to watch, especially 2021 with the 2001 defenders Broberg,Söderström,Broberg with Holtz,Raymond,Gunler up front.

I don't think Montén should have all the blame either, Grönborg failed with much much greater teams, like the choke 2014 in Malmö with players like Forsberg,Lindholm,Djoos,Burakovsky,Wennberg

What i have a problem with is that they talked about not doing it right after the Swizz game, bit they did it anyway. Thats a big lack of respect.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Come on, you soccer moms. Who cares if they go out to have some beers after the game? After all, they follow the leadership of Tomtén. If you lose badly, you just shrug, say "meh" and move on.

It was however very stupid to share it on social media. Smart players - and people - don't have an account in social media at all. That these idiots decided to share pictures of themselves partying was the kind of intelligence one would expect from this roster. If they hadn't, no one would've known or cared. Now they have the clickbait media after them. "This is outrageous! Absolutely reprehensible!" Lol.

Swedish hockey might have good trainers, but they have horrible coaches. They shouldn't exactly have nutcases like Keenan, but you shouldn't have a Tomtén either, with a pulse close to a coma. I almost expected him to start serving mellis on the bench, since he didn't do anything else.

How can it be so hard to get an active coach, that coaches during games? And how in the hell could they hire Tomtén? What kind of merits does he have, apart from getting his teams relegated? The Swedish Hockey federation needs some new blood and some old, corrupt crooks need to go. Let me guess, Tomtén got the job because of "social contacts"?

 

[Eye of Ra]

rönnberg back would be the ideal.

 

[37 others]

How were the goalies?

 

[bottomofthefoodchain]

Terrible. Dont want to see a single of them back next year.

Why? Because they decided to have fun and not sit in their hotel room and sulk?

Because they broke the rules?

They didnt hurt anyone so I personally dont see the problem. But each to their own.

 

[ZEBROA]

You know you are a real loser to party after a loss like that. It is childish and not ok by what should be proffesional players. They should not drink alcohol at all during workseason. Best is not at all . At least win something first...

 

[Star Ocean]

This years team had loser mentality all over it.

It was a bad team (bad forward group) with a bad coach. Im not surprised they failed.
