Magnus Pääjärvi, Ottawa are you kidding


I have a bigger problem that we have let a NHL 4th liner play 2 straight best of the best tournaments. But in WHC we can not take anyone we want from NHL so it is different in whc, so there i am more ok with having medicore NHL players in the lineup, unless they are cutting star players to make room for them. Pääjärvi has been pretty good in ottawa and is probably better than AJF right now that many seems to want.

What we need from NHL is a elite winger like rakell, forsberg and one of Backstrom or W Karlsson, then it looks pretty good, but espically a elite winger.

The D seems to look really good even this time for being whc. Klingberg and OEL shall get credit for being loyal star players.

Tre Kronor bekräftar: Här är de 10 NHL-svenskarna som är klara för hockey-VM
 
Hey dude, that was a test match vs. Team Denmark in Rungsted this evening. I've been there and saw Lias Anderson playing for the first time, and wow, is he a mature player already! He'll be fun to watch in Copenhagen. :popcorn:
A natural leader who sees the ice well, creates a lot of chances, and at the same time has a sound defensive game. That wrap-around try was brilliant, and it wasn't the only good offensive scene he had.
In the second period he also had a little hustle with Denmark's top goal getter Nicklas Jensen who scored the only Danish goal with a blistering slap shot in the third period.

Sweden's B team dominated the game over long stretches against the Danes, which played with only 8-9 players who'll make the final roster. Only the Jokerit quartet, and Nicholas B. Jensen were in acceptable WHC form, while some of the defenders and most players from the Danish domestic league filling the other roster spots weren't up to the task. They clearly need their reinforcements - F.Nielsen, M.Christensen, F.Storm, N.Hardt, J.'Z' Jensen, P.Bjørkstrand, P.Larsen, M.Lauridsen and of course as many NHL guys as possible.

Thanks sir. Is there a schedule anywhere for these exhibition games?
 
There is literally no legitimate reason not to ask Lehner.

Yeah, the defense played really well yesterday, although Danmark didn't do much to challenge them. Mikael Wikstrand = my fav defenseman yesterday.
 
political. lehner likes trump.
I know he likes Trump his political beliefs shouldn’t impact his possibilities to represent his national team.

That is unfit for any hockey federation in a country which takes pride in it’s democracy. It really doesn’t matter if you find the views extreme or totalitarian, he should still have the right to express them without the fear of punishment (as long as it isn’t criminal). If that is the reason for not selecting him the federation is really out to lunch.

So in summary him supporting Trump is not a legitimate reason.

I don’t even think that is the reason though they asked him last year.

Well yeah... I'm not going to run them down, as seems to be a bit of a custom here in the forum. Keeping in mind who is ready & available to play for Team Sweden at the WHC.
If you watched the first denmark game, how did Olle Liss look? I liked his game the few minutes I saw of the first Slovakia game.
 
Thats good. With so many players want to play whc, i am worried for elias petteesson. What if he lights up the shl finals and still get denied a shot?
