Tre Kronor made his first international appearance since February due to the corona pandemic and national team captain Johan Garpenlöv has mostly invested in young talents from SHL.
Seven debutants on the ice against the Czech Republic.
It was remarkable.
Tre Kronor’s first two stints were weak and the 0-3 deficit could have been bigger.
A rapture In the third period, the league captain can expect more in this weekend’s matches against Russia (Saturday) and Finland (Sunday).
– The third period was approved and the first two were not. We had seven debutants in this match and we have several who haven’t made many international appearances. There are many who are fresh internationally, but they started to get used to it in the third period. It is very promising before this weekend’s games, Garpenlöv said.
The duo Max Friberg, Frölunda and Anton Wedin, HV71, belong to the most experienced and ended up in the same chain in the third period. They started the Swedish promotion when Wedin played Friberg at an early cut.
The duo had Lots of energy.
– I had never scored a goal at Tre Kronor before so it was a child’s dream come true. So of course you want it to be 4-3 and not 1-3 in a match where you get cod, he said.
Tre Kronor finished in a 0-2 deficit after two Czech goals outnumbered in quick succession late in the first period through NHL defender Filip Hronek, Detroit and Hynek Zohorna.
Czech dominance continued in others. Newcomer Jonathan Dahlén, Timrå’s points king and the only Allsvenskan player on the team, hit the crossbar, but then Jakub Galvas made it 3-0 as the Swedish defensive play was again really bad.
The successful goalkeeper from Frölunda, rookie Niklas Rubin had to make a lot of sweaty stops to keep the numbers down.
The Swedes were run over both physically and in terms of play in the first two periods. Max Friberg was asked if he thinks it is due to the nervousness of everyone new.
– I don’t expect that. For me, one of the first things you do is make sure you skate and give 100 percent in every melee match. That’s where you can start, Friberg said.
Johan Garpenlöv made his debut as captain of the national team at the Karjala tournament last year and then suffered three consecutive defeats. He then led Tre Kronor to victory in two consecutive tournaments.
After four losses in a row in Helsinki, the next chance will be to break Karjala’s curse against Russia on Saturday.
