In the match that concluded the Swedish EHT tournament on Sunday, Leijonat convincingly beat Sweden 5–1.
The World Cup general was successful for Finland, but in Sweden the result was not viewed with pleasure. For example, an expert from SVT by Jonas Andersson according to several players failed to show their ability to get to the World Cup starting on Friday.
– I don’t think anyone stands out positively today, Andersson said after the game Expressen’s by.
– If Sam Hallam [Ruotsin päävalmentaja] would choose a team here and now, none of them would be able to join, ex-hockey player Håkan Loob quoth.
Finland won Sweden’s EHT tournament by seven points. Second came Switzerland (5 points) and third was Sweden (3 points).
Hallam stated that he was disappointed with the tournament.
– Right now we are all disappointed with our performance, but if we get time to look at it, we will definitely find things that are good, head coach Hallam stated to SVT.
The Lions’ World Cup work starts on Friday, when they face Germany.
