Three Kronor is in a sad form.
After three straight losses in the home tournament Beijer Hockey Games, it is clear that Sweden is coming.
– It’s too bad, says SVT’s hockey expert Jonas Andersson.
1-4 against the Czech Republic, 1-2 against Switzerland and finally 1-4 against Finland. With three straight losses and only three goals scored ahead, it is obvious that Tre Kronor has a lot to improve and work on before the spring World Cup at home.
Hällid’s words after the tournament
The union captain Sam Hallam Is on preparation assignments in Canada for the four-nation tournament Four Nations (where the NHL-fully plugged Tre Kronor meets Finland, USA and Canada). Therefore, the junior crowns got Magnus Hävelid – which recently led the junior national team in JVM – substitute on the post.
– Somehow you think: How difficult should it be to score goals? It was frustrating, at home in a crowded Globe as well. After all, we have only scored three goals in three matches. We cannot be satisfied with that, he tells Sportbladet.

Now Hävelid is leaving its short assignment as a temporary national team captain. He does it with three straight losses in the back.
– I had a hard time seeing in front of me when I went here that we would only score three goals in total. I am confused and disappointed with that. I am obviously part of it as responsible coach. Lessons? In such an environment, there are always different types of lessons, such as Connecta against the players. I have to go home and melt the week a little first, he says.
SVT’s Jonas Andersson is critical
In fact, Sweden has only won a match during this year’s Euro Hockey season. Otherwise, they have eight losses. These are sad numbers. After the defeat against Finland, Frölundas spoke Max Friberg About the embarrassing results.
– There are no nice thoughts at all now. It feels embarrassing and not worthy of Tre Kronor to lose three matches in the home tour, he tells Sportbladet.
It was packed against Finland (13,285 Åskåre) in what is called the “New Globe”. Avicii Arena is newly renovated and with Beijer Hockey Games, the first hockey matches have been played in the arena since it was rebuilt.

SVT expert Jonas Andersson is one of those who saw the national team after the failure tournament.
– A national team that does not deliver at all. There are many stones and many buttons to press. It’s too bad, he tells SVT Sport.
What do you think about Tre Kronor’s efforts? Will it look just as bad in Four Nations and the World Cup? Feel free to leave a comment!
