WC: Team Sweden roster 2022

[theslatcher]

So you are suggesting Jokiharju and Power? Who would play with Dahlin?

Dahlin has been playing with Samuelsson, and Joki with Power.

 

[Mestaruus]

Dahlin has been playing with Samuelsson, and Joki with Power.

This game looks like 9-3 in favor of Sweden at the moment.

 

[EK47]

Pudas - OEL doesn’t work as a pairing.

 

[EK47]

Jesus christ Berggren and Dahlin

 

[theslatcher]

Nordström in the box might means Garpen is forced to put better forward pairs out there, and hey, Berggren was out there and damn, that was beautiful. idk how that wasn't a goal. And Dahlin was mad at himself for it.

Also, Pudas having a real bad game today.

 

[weklof]

Bad time for Pudas to have a bad game. He was in the front seat to take a spot on the final roster but is playing himself off it. We already have NHL D that have guaranteed sports, Tömmernes is probably ahead of him on the depth chart. Considering OEL, Gustafsson and Dahlin are offensive Ds, Pudas might be the odd man out. Lindholm and Folin probably have better chanses as they are more of stay-at-home guys

 

[Elias40]

Dahlin, OEL this is a huge upgrade game. Having two more similar strikers, this team can attack the semifinals despite Garpenlöv.

Unfortunately, euro players are quite weak, and even Hallam will do nothing about it. But I ask for a bigger role for Söderblom, in this case I am convinced that he can play in the second attack.

 

[theslatcher]

No idea what Sweden was doing on that goal.

 

[EK47]

Most obvious cuts Roos, Bengtsson and Pudas?

Jesper Pettersson is an obvious cut also, Bengtsson I think is a grinder of the ilk that Garpen likes, he will remain with the team I think

 

[theslatcher]

Berggren, & Dahlin have great chemistry together.

Forgot about Pettersson, maybe I’d cut Lang before Bengtsson but really doesn’t matter.

Please stop with Tömmernes and Pudas on the PP. I know they probably wanna give Dahlin a soft start but still he’s far and away the best offensive D on the team.

 

[theslatcher]

Dahlin first time on PP, aaaaand... Goal.

 

[Honest M]

Why isn't EP on the teem, injury ??

Nope declined, No reason.

 

[weklof]

Garpenlöv said in the post-game interview that he would present the preliminary squad tomorrow. So then we will know the cuts and if Swiss players like Lander and Klingberg will be added. We'll see if any players from the SHL finals will be added, that could end tonight. I think the likelihood decrease significantly if it goes to seven games

Klingberg has somehow already been confirmed, they didn't want to confirm Berggren nor Bemström too early, but Carl Klingberg out of everybody? HE'S IN, NO NEED TO PLAY PRELIMS!

I don't think there's any player that is an improvement on the current lineup out of Färjestad/Luleå. I mean, Omark would be, but he retired years ago from the NT(and why would he choose to come out of that retirement now, instead of for the Olympics?).

Garpenlöv has man crush on Klingberg, I wouldn't be surprised if he is on the squad

No, before OEL and Larsson was confirmed, I thought Lennström would be a solid add, but now with 4 NHL Ds there are no place for him. I don't see any forward that would raise the quality of the current squad, more like-for-like.

 

[EK47]

Garpenlöv is just awful. Just fkn awful.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Klingberg is a an uppgrade over Karlsson/Lang imo. Lander is an uppgrade over Åman/Kellman.

Anton Lindholm have looked surprisingly good. Rather have him than Folin, who cant pass the puck.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Asplund - Wallmark - Bemström
Berggren - Kellman - Söderblom
Brome - Lander - Klingberg (this guys have great chemistry, otherwise i would have Lander as 2C).
Nordström - Bengtsson - Friberg
Karlsson, Lang

Dahlin - Larsson
OEL - Gustafsson
Tömmernäs - Lindholm
Roos - Pudas

Hellberg
Högberg
Dansk

 

[Chimpradamus]

Why isn't EP on the teem, injury ??

From what I've heard from his exit talks, etc, he wants to focus 100% on the next season, work his ass off and come hungry and ready. He might have some injury, be really tired, who knows? Still, it's a damn shame.

No SHL players stand out, they're just clinging onto the ledge with their fingernails in international competition.

 

[EK47]

So what is happening? Weren’t they supposed to release the initial roster today?

I'm guessing they are waiting another day, because the SHL finals could be over tonight.
