Mats Sundin’s thoughts on Four Nations

CHRONICLE: Therefore no Swedish cares about Tre Kronor anymore
Just a few days before the premiere match in Four Nations, Tre Kronor gathered Legends (a hopped team with several old Swedish stars) for games against NHL Alumni in newly renovated Avicii Arena. The Swedish team won the show match by clear 6-2 and Mats Sundin stood for one of the goals. Before the match, he received questions about Four Nations in the media zone.
– I think the keys will be that the Swedish national team captains get together a team where all the players accept their roles. Not everyone will be able to play powerplay, not everyone will kill expulsions. A good defense game is required when you do not have the puck. In addition, a good goalkeeping game if you are to be able to beat a US or Canada in such a tournament, he says.
They win Four Nations according to Mats Sundin
Sam Hallam have received some criticism – including by Peter Forsberg – Because he has not taken out any pure, strong center in the squad. When “sudden” gets asked if he lacks anything special in the Swedish team, he says that it is a short tournament and that it is more about getting the team together.
– You have to wait and see. I believe with the team now, since the best players have not gathered for so long with their national teams, so much is a bit uncertain. I think that individual positions are not the most important thing, but they weld together and accept their roles. It becomes important for the league captains, says Mats Sundin.

The Toronto Maple Leafs legend concludes by predicting who wins the tournament.
– I hope Sweden wins, but it is clear that you look at the law on paper are the US and Canada favorites. In a match, anything can happen. Then both Sweden and Finland can beat the teams.
