WC: WC: 2024 Team Sweden Roster Talk

[MatBarzal]

Nah, he's going by a finnish tweet that translated Karlsson's interview where he talked about drinking a pilsner and deciding.

These words seemed convincing to me. An inebriated person is capable of anything

 

[Playmaker82]

Yeah, his game floundered pretty badly this year. His shot remains excellent but his continued inability to do just about anything else has been a drag on his play for a while. I can see him getting a one-year show-me contract in the NHL next season or even winding up back in Europe because he has not shown that he will put in the effort to do anything but get to soft areas to try to get his shot off. He doesn't defend, never battles for pucks, and rarely goes into traffic for second chance opportunities.

Tnx! Not the typical grinder you might say So he needs to play in one of the two top lines then, along with a good two-way center leaving him place and time for his shot. I guess it could be

BURAKOVSKY - ERIKSSON - OLOFSSON
Zetterlund - Eklund - Rakell
Johansson - Carlsson - Holtz
Everberg - De la Rose - Friberg

Burakovsky-Eriksson Ek-Olofsson ?

Yeah, he's top 6 or nothing IMO. Granted, if he's playing to try to get seen so he can get a new contract, maybe there is a little more battle in him but his best abilities are in how he gets his shot off and the velocity of it. To be smallish, slowish, and have no battle is hard to make work.

Sorensen was added to the roster, but De la Rose was not, don't you think he won't be on the roster?

 

[jfc64]

Nah, he's going by a finnish tweet that translated Karlsson's interview where he talked about drinking a pilsner and deciding.

And then he declines ...

 

[Playmaker82]

I would have thought so, but it is looking bad.

 

[jfc64]

Fy Satan what an awful amount of steps and stairs training the Tre Kronor not so famous players from NHL will have to go thru to get in best shape. Burra, Olofsson, Silfverberg etc.

 

[weklof]

I wonder how many games before Olofsson ends up in Hallams dog house. He benched Berggren in the quaters last year because his defensive deficiancies, but he is miles more responsible than Olofsson

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

Erik Karlsson confirmed now.

 

[Playmaker82]

Woooof... Dahlin-Karlsson. Damn.

 

[weklof]

Now we need some defensive Ds to cover for Dahlin and Karlsson

 

[theslatcher]

Time for the Ek's to bully Brodin into going.

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

If Tampa gets knocked out I think Hedman is going if EK65 is there.

 

[EK47]

Dahlin - Karlsson damn some pairing.

 

[Playmaker82]

I'll never doubt your sources again, @MatBarzal

 

[theslatcher]

If Tampa gets knocked out I think Hedman is going if EK65 is there.

Aye, looking like it's heading that way, too.

 

[m4tt145]

Yes baby

 

[weklof]

Who do we think will be named captain? Feels like it is between Karlsson and Eklund-Ek

 

[weklof]

I don't even know who would be "Captain Sweden" now. Feels like it was Sundin -> Lidström -> Zetterberg -> Landeskog. But after Landys injury, I don't know who would be first choice. Hedman?

 

[Eye of Ra]

Olofsson…

wtf

Josef Boumedienne blir coach för Tre Kronor under VM

Han valde att satsa fullt ut på jobbet i NHL efter att ha varit Tre Kronors assisterande General Manager. Men nu återvänder Josef Boumedienne till Sam Hallams l

www.aftonbladet.se

Boumedienne to be assistant coach.

So we have 3 assistent coaches and all 3 of them are defence coaches. Why not add a forward coach? Rönnberg or Jönsson would be ideal.

Just using him in PP could be a good idea.

Erik Karlsson confirmed now.

yes, they are not exactly good in their own zone, especially not mr Karlsson. We need a good goalie too.

Filip Forsberg

 

[Eye of Ra]

Burakovsky is a decent top-6 winger.

He is more than decent, in shape he is a very good top 6 player in a WC. Look at his numbers before this season.

 

[theslatcher]

Last time they all played Karlsson got the A over Landeskog, OEL, Hedman, etc.

Karlsson with the C, Dahlin and Eriksson Ek with A's sounds correct.

Yeah, that would be my guess too. I don't see any other player who have yet to accept that can surpass them. Rakell, I don't think so.

If Tampa Bay gets knocked out and Hedman becomes available he gets a letter for sure, maybe the C.
