Edit: Valtteri Filppula (but not sure when he will join)
I was hoping we'd see bigger names from Sweden against Finland on Sunday, like Zetterberg and Frantzen. Guess that can still change? Since we'll have all our players, Swedes are gonna deliberately injure our players (joking). Oh well, their loss for possibly lacking the team chemistry on the WC game of death as a result of not playing enough practise games .

The Swedish guys that were eliminated before the playoffs will be there just like the Finnish ditos. Only Eriksson passed up on that chance, because he has a newborn. The playoff guys still have medical tests and other things in NA before they can head back home, but they should be able to play the last exho game against the US.

Not sure why they don't play Kindl in this first game. Maybe they think it would be too easy with him in the lineup?
Well, with google translate it sounds like he came Tuesday so probably just easing him in. Big ice, jet lag etc. Says he will play Saturday and Sunday anyway.

You're right, btw. I literally LMAO'ed when I tried to throw that into translator.
Petr Zámorský = Peter Overseas
Jakub Kovář = James Smith
Tomáš Mojžíš = Thomas Moses
Petr Tenkrát = Peter At that time
swedish roster looks extremely weak without the nhlers, wont win a game in this tourney lol
not really........ swedes are strong even without top players. anyway nobody cares about pre tournament. wc is all that counts (for the nxt few weeks). its time to find chemistry and bild the lines. not more
(joking). Oh well, their loss for possibly lacking the team chemistry on the WC game of death as a result of not playing enough practise games
