LG Hockey Games

Good start for Sweden, a not that hard game against the czechs, a solid performance and a good reslut, 6-1. Lots of un to see rookies that plays good, such as Hörnqvist, he might somthing special in a few years. he knows how to score and he is almost always in the right position. when playing with players that see him and can make the pass, well, then Hörnqvist is of a high class. He's still younge and needs a few more years before he can perform totally on his own, even if he is well on his way. He's drafted by Nashville as far as know and they probobly wanna have him over to NHL soon. I think that he should stay at least one more year, maybe two. not that many can make it in the nhl at a younge age, even if there is plenty of examples. right now the NHL is dominated by 2 youngesters in Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin. Next season we will hopefully have another star, Niclas Bäckström, that will play with Ovechkin in Capitals. That combination can be something really special if they get the chance of playing togheter.

Other rising stars in Sweden are Joel Gistedt (Goalie Frölunda) Niklas Hjalmarsson (defender HV71) Magnus Isaksson (forward Luleå) and Linus Omark (forward Luleå) , this is some of the players that will have a intressting future (of course there is many more players but these is some of my favourites.

Have to comment the Sedin brothers, this season they have really developed into some of the most inportant players in the Canucks. When they play together its amazing, they know each other so well. another fun happening in the NHL right now is that our Swedish goalies seem to be getting more chances, and they are playing good, Tellqvist is showing that he is as good as we all knew before he came over, can't really understand that leafs never gave him the chance. Holmqvist has moved forward to become the first goalie of Tamba and Lundqvist in Rangers are good, he will be really, really good in the future.

next game in LG Hockey games are on saturday, the Russians will be a hard game, but as the swedes played tonight I have full faith that thy will win.

next week the chase for the last playoff places continues in the Elite League.
