Sweden lost the first match in Four Nations after Canada has sprinkled 4-3 in the extension.
Three Kronor icon Henrik Zetterberg now comments on what strengths he sees in the Swedish national team.
– They have a good team, he says.
During Saturday night, Tre Kronor will play his second match in the four -team tournament Four Nations, which will be decided in Montreal and Boston. Finland stands for the resistance. Both teams lost their initial matches against Canada and the United States, so it really is “win or disappear” mode for both Sweden and Finland.
Zetterberg pays tribute to the Three Kronor talent
The Swedish who scored the most points in the opening match was Lucas Raymond22, which stood for assists to both Jonas Brodin and Joel Eriksson Ek. The young Tre Kronor star has been hailed by Henrik Zetterberg44. The legend made 15 seasons with Detroit Red Wings in the NHL – the same club that Raymond represents.

Lucas Raymond has scored 59 points (21+38) so far during the NHL season and has participated in the team in the table. Suddenly, Detroit looks to be able to reach the playoffs, even though the season started very badly.
– He is one that really spends all the time and all the power to be as good as possible. The step he has taken this year is incredibly large, I think. For the team here too now that they have sex or seven straight and are at the first Wild Card place now and have some chop, he tells the Sports Bible.
Henrik Zetterberg about Tre Kronor
“Zäta” follows the Four Nation tournament with his 9-year-old son Love From home in Ängelholm.
– Yes, this is the time with the time zones that will be a little difficult. He is very charged for it. We should try not to look at the result without seeing the matches after school when he comes home, we must see if we can do it, he says at a press conference where the sports cable is in place.

Zetterberg, who himself won the Olympics and the World Cup with Tre Kronor, points out what will become Sweden’s strengths during the championship.
– They have incredibly good goalkeepers. Then, as always, in these tournaments, there are others who have better lace and more stars maybe. But Sweden has a good team and the players have leading roles in their teams. I know myself when you came to the national team on those like that tournaments with short training and incredibly wonderful cohesion, it will be a fun break from the normal NHL Lunken, he says and continues:
– I think Sweden will play well. There will be small margins for the team that wins and what comes four. Any team can beat any team. There will be goalkeeping games, special teams will be incredibly important. I have a small feeling that Sweden will actually do well.
