JoshMartini007 2,381 Posted February 21, 2018 #452 Share Posted February 21, 2018 After the US and Canada, Sweden likely suffered the most due to the lack of NHL players. Typically almost their entire squad comes from the NHL and while they have a good domestic league they still lost a lot of talent. Meanwhile a team like Germany only lost a handful of players.

Would any of the guys who played today even make their best roster? Like i said before the start of the tournament: This event is senseless and has no meaning, results would be completely different if every nation would play with its best players. Yeah so? Sweden had a somewhat better roster than Germany, so this is a bloody sensation. The level in this tournament is poor, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that any of the guys here are among the 30 or 40 best swedish players. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

But that's why you play the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Germany, i think it's only Kühnhackl , Reider ,Draisaitl & Seidenberg being the biggest NHL names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
