Ye, like last year svenskhockey got the streaming right just days before the tournament. I hope it will be same this time
 
Lindstein and Sandin-Pellikka will play together like they did in the Four Nations, I suppose.

I would take Alex Zetterberg instead. 26 points in J20 so far, and he's a 06.

But it would be very interesting and fun if Ekberg made the team as 2 year younger than the rest

Alex Zetterberg logged 1 point in the U17 5 nations tournament this passed week, so probably not an important omission.
Best scorer Hugo Zetterlund however, with five goals in four games would have been interesting to see among the upper age group. But his time will come later, I guess.
 
Congrats Sweden! Shots 30-24 to Canada, adding the goals makes it 30-32 though, but 0-8? Didn't see that coming. A bit uheard of at any level? Happy not to be in the Canadian locker room. With past IIHF tournaments in mind, wouldn't be surprised if Canada ends up winning the whole tournament.

Oh. I have been mistaken this for decades. I always though shots + goals = totals, but see that you are right. I blame lazieness for never bother doing the math. Possibly senility. Did this change or have it always been calculated like this?

Klart: Expressen sänder jakten på nytt VM-guld

Guld 2022 och en fullständig överkörning mot självaste Kanada i första matchen 2023. Mycket talar för att Småkronorna kommer att tampas om guldet även i U18-VM 2023. Nu står det klart att Expressen kommer att sända den svenska jakten på den ädlaste av valörer. Se Sveriges match mot Slovakien...

Expressen bought the rights for the games except for the potential games that'll be on SVT (semis and onwards).
 
No one should be suprised anymore, we always get key players injured every tournament, no matter if its u20, u18 or tre kronor. Not sure why.
 
Swedish d has been fairly impressive so far. Especially the top 3 dogs (S-P, Lindstein, Willander), which is something you rarely see at this level. Not a whole lot of blunders.

Offensively, it is very obvious that guys like Edstrom and Wahlberg has seen a great development this season. Dower Nilsson, on the other hand, is mediocre as always with the national team. Hopefully he gets going soon. Cannot solely rely on Stenberg.

Never been high on Zeb Forsfjäll, but I think he has done quite well. Solid two-way work.
 
Missed two games in a row now, so curious what people think, how is the 4th line doing? It was a line with players I wouldn't have put on the team, so hope they can keep up. The rest should at least fight well in functioning combinations.
 
Next years team:

Hugo Laring
Herman Liv

Alfons Freij - Anton Olsson
Leo Sahlin Wallenius - Jack Bodin
Felix Öhrqvist - Oliwer Sjöström

Hugo Zetterlund - Alexander Zetterberg - Karl Sterner
Victor Eklund - Linus Eriksson - Filip Ekberg
Viggo Nordlund - Lucas Pettersson - Adam Hesselvall
Melvin Fernström - Willie Magnertoft - Elliot Sigrell
Viggo Söderberg


HM: Love Härenstam, Anton Frodell, Viktor Klingsell
 
My next year team

Ekberg - Zetterberg - Zetterlund
Sterner - Pettersson - Hesselvall
Nordlund - Eriksson - Eklund
Frondell - Holst - Fernström
Toresson

Freij - Sahlin Wallenius
Olsson - Sjöqvist
Sigurd - Bodin
Sjöström

Liv
 
I am excited to see how much Tom Willander will climb on all those draft rankings being posted. Thought he had a superb tournament.

Unger Sörum, Edstrom and Wahlberg should also see their stock rise imo.
The constantly overhyped Dower Nilsson... not so much.

Overall (compared to previous tournaments) best defensive effort I have seen by Sweden at the U18 Worlds. Very few major blunders and most defensemen did look good.
