I think his glove is significantly better, he’s quicker side to side, he’s able to make impossible saves, I haven’t really seen that from Nilsson. Wasnt really what I was saying though I was mainly saying that NHL-goalie >>> non-NHL-goalie is not always true.
On another note I thought Hellberg was good today, he made a few really advanced saves and the goals he let in was mainly his defensemen letting him down.

Maybe Elias Pettersson should be tried with Rakell and Zibanejad against swiss?
Assuming Arvidsson will play:
Rakell - Zibanejad - Elias
Arvidsson - Backlund - Nyquist
Lias - Kempe - Janmark
JDLR - Larsson - Pääjärvi
Everberg out.

I think only Arvissson will play tomorrow. Forsberg and Ekholm had to catch a later flight or something like that.

So, what you're saying Hörnqvist isn't confirmed? He has been for a while, I even linked one article earlier that included him saying he's coming. The first one of these:
NHL-stjärnan bekräftar: Ansluter till VM
Bekräftat: Patric Hörnqvist till VM
Bekräftat: Patric Hörnqvist ansluter till VM-truppen - Radiosporten
I think the edge that Forsberg and Arvidsson provides is way more important, plus they’re both quite gritty, remember Arvy is called arvi hustle in Nashville.

but none of this is swehockey. swehockey has confirmed nashville players but not hörnqvist, why is that?

Yeah, I was caught off guard by Ra saying Hörnqvist isn't confirmed, which he has been for a while. Arvi took an earlier flight because he had his exit-meeting with Nashville a day before Forsberg, and Ekholm had to wait for his newborn's passport.

Doesn't matter if they haven't come out and said it if Hörnqvist himself has said he's arriving in time to play against Russia.
I’m not so sure, Hörnqvist had the same issue as Ekholm, but he was quoted somewhere saying that everything had been cleared yesterday. However that swehockey hasn’t actually confirmed it is weird.

Could have something to do with them only announcing it after the registration of players is complete & confirmed, and the process takes some time. Took them half a day to announce the Nashville players, so we should see a Hörnqvist article at lunch tomorrow.

Haven't you watched today's match? He made some clutch saves on point blank Slovak shots. He's been superb in the exhibition matches vs. Denmark as well. I'm sure he'll be Grönborg's starting goaltender in the QF.

Hellberg has been great so far, idk if I'd say better than Nilsson just because of the fact Nilsson hasn't gotten the chance to prove himself yet, Nilsson will most likely start tomorrow against the Swiss so we can make a better estimation after that.
