I saw a comment on the Team Sweden thread that said it was more Coop bias. I lol’d for real.
Well deserved. He’s been really good this year
How does Coop keep getting away with this!!
Wow Jon Cooper must be the only reason he made this team!!!
People can be as confused and hate the decision all they want but it won’t change the fact that someone in Sweden’s management chose him to be on that team (just like Guerin and co took Trocheck and Miller over other USA skaters), and probably for good reason. Dude has been killing it in the 200 foot game and looked the most confident he’s ever been playing with Gourde and Girgensons. Hope he’s not just an extra and gets some games.
Great that our boys get to play in the Olympics but hopefully they don’t get injured, I would kinda rather have a Stanley cup lol
Pontus From Sweden!!!
Why would Coop do this? How does he keep getting away with picking his TB guys? /s
Makes total sense, he’s been scoring some recently
Luckily there won’t be any comments about Jon Cooper influencing…. oh nvm
Clearly team Canada coach Cooper is the one who made this decision.
Pontus from Sweden?!
Pontus from Sweden?
I’ve seen people completely serious where I’m not even sure they are panthers fans saying that Bennett should’ve been on team Canada over Point and Hagel.
One guy literally said “Hagel hasn’t done anything too impressive”
People don’t realize how good of a 2 way forward Pontus has been for the lightning, more shots blocked than (for example people are comparing eklund) more physical, doesn’t turn the puck over as much, more takeaways and just a better defensive forward than him. There is more to building an olympic team than points, they have plenty of point scorers, huge grab for Sweden!
out of curiosity- are we leading the league currently with this latest addition? or at least in the top however many teams of participants ?
Proud of our boys but damn, at this rate Kuch and Vasy are going to be the only rested players we have lol
I’m very happy for Holmberg (aka the backpack). He is hard on the puck and straight line player. Takes the shot. I saw him score a beautfiul goal jumping out of the box at end of PP again at Montreal. Was right behind the net. Love the way he plays.
