NHL reinforcements change Tre Kronor’s team building: « Balance »

Three Kronor is so far undefeated in the group play and has not scored a single goal in the last three matches against Latvia, Slovenia and France.

On Tuesday, Canada, who is also undefeated, awaits the last match of the group play. In other words, Karlsson and Sandin will, to say the least, come timely for the tough hit.

On Monday’s training Karlsson formed chain together with Marcus Johansson and Lucas Raymond.

This is how Sam Hallam justifies the decision:

– You always try to find a balance in all ropes. We have a lot of speed and experience in Johansson and lace properties in Raymond. But all three are guys who do the job in both directions.

Johansson who missed the last match against France was again on ice and looks forward to playing with his new chain mate.

– Damn fun, it felt good at the training and I thought we found each other well – so it’s just driving on.

William Karlsson also fits on sending back a pass to his new chain mate:

– He is really smooth, nice skater and I have met him some too, most recently in the playoffs. Good understanding of the game so that he is easy to play with.

During training, Rasmus Sandin formed back pairs with Simon Edvinsson. But in addition to the new formations, both he and William Karlsson immediately look to get heavy roles in the Swedish squad.

Both of them were in the same powerplay formation.

-Fun to get another good player, we get a better line-up and get stronger straight over. He should just be himself and play his game, a good two -way game with good skiing and good melee games, says Hallam about Karlsson.

The union captain continues:

– I think his season has been very good, I think he has always had an incredible skill in his game. He has matured and plays calmer, I hope he can come in and do the same here, says Hallam about Sandin.

What do you think about the back pair together with Edvinsson?

– Yes, but then we can see. We have had a few different ways to match our back pairs but the idea is that it will look like that.

William Nylanders Toronto Went during the night until Tuesday from the NHL playoffs after loss in the seventh and decisive match against Florida. But the league captain leaves no comments on whether the Torontostjärnan may be relevant for Tre Kronor.

– That said, we have 24 registered so I like to talk really about them, he says.
