    IIHF World Championships

    Yes confusing but true, and I can't believe that the Swedish one hasn't been drafted yet. He's small but really good skater and puck mover. He's on the same team as Axel Holmström in the SEL.

    Aho was already drafted last year. 2015 round 2 #35 overall by Carolina Hurricanes

    IIHF World Championships

    Could be one of the most boring finals in a very very long time.

    The Hockey News article on finnish hockey

    Finland are definitely good, fun youth movement at the moment too but they suffer from the same problem as Russia, not nearly enough quality d-men.

    IIHF World Championships

    Sarcasm aside Nyquist has looked really good in the WC so far.

    ECSF : Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Washington Capitals

    The Caps really have a second round curse.
  7. Holland will end up trading Pav's contract if he leaves for Russia, there's zero doubt about that regardless of what he's said.
  8. It is a little interesting that considering how awful our defense is we still lost because we couldn't score enough goals. Any form of decent offensive output and we would've won this series.

    ECQF Game 4 Post-GTD: Tampa Bay 3, at Red Wings 2

    Only it's demonstrably not true, there are tons of Swedish players with great heart and leadership qualities.

    Not sure why you'd wanna go down that route, it's not like the canadians, americans, slovaks or czechs of the team are playing one bit better right now.

    So Z is a bad leader now?

    You do realize #5 was Swedish right?...

    Mrazek was ok but the defense was atrocious, clear passes straight through the slot to an open man THREE TIMES!!!

    ECQF Game 4 Post-GTD: Tampa Bay 3, at Red Wings 2

    This could be the dumbest comment of all times considering everything that Swedish players have done for this club...

    Can't let them score the exact same damn goal three times in a row. You CAN'T give up that wide open pass through the entire box on the PK, it's inexcusable.

    Defense pairs

    I don't know anything about this but how would it balance out over time? the top pair will always play against the top line of the other team, or as much as possible anyway. It's not like both teams just roll all 4lines equally which would have to be the case for it to even out. A first dpair will always have a tougher matchup than a third pair will.

    Five Nations Tournament in Plymouth?

    Sweden's team U17 paid a little visit today!

    We really are or we'd be stuck with Howard for years.

    So cynical... He played very well after signing his contract, this slump is quite recent.

    11/29 GDT : Florida Panthers at Red Wings, 2:00 EST

    Or sometime, just sometime score more than one goal on a bad giveaway against a s***ty team and with 57 PP opportunities...

    Well deserved too, we can't score for s*** and deserve to be punished for it.

    When does Larkin get the C?

    He is the kind of player you make captain but making him captain at 19 would be one of the dumbest ideas ever.

    When does Larkin get the C?

    No way Abby will ever get the C.
