If the World Cup match between Sweden and Norway had been a Broadway show, it would have screamed in neon:
Casting: William Nylander
The Swedish star who reached the World Cup and immediately stole the championship role.
I’m sitting like a big grin as I write this and I think the Swedish fans on site in Tampere came home with the same wide smiles this evening.
William Nylanders The World Cup premiere was what everyone was hoping for.
Sweden’s poor game of numerical superiority suddenly became history with Nylander on the team.
Johann Garbenlov put him in both powerplay lineups and got to play nonstop with another guy.
And so this problem was solved.
He was a target right away when the first chance came.
It was world class
Jacob Peterson’s shot was controlled by a Norwegian skater and Nylander received his first assist point at 11.48 in the first period.
And in Sweden’s third opportunity in five for four, William Nylander hit 2-0 on his own with a quick shot from his wrist.
Slap straight at the nearest intersection.
my world.
After that, the hope of the Norwegians disappeared and the loss of energy became apparent.
Jacob Peterson made it 3-0 just a minute after Nylanders 2-0 and Rasmus Asplund sent it 4-0 barely after three minutes.
Then all the excitement was gone.
If only someone had been there from the start.
The score was 7-1 at the end, four Swedish goals in numerical superiority and Nylander finished sending a perfect pass to Rasmus Asplund and his second goal of the match.
Asplund just had to drown the disc in an empty bag in a new powerplay
William Nylander has reached a total of 32 points in the total 18 World Cup matches he has played before.
It is a score of 1.78 that makes him the best in three crowns Through the ages, he was also helped by the fact that no help was counted in the time of Sven Tomba.
Now it is better.
After his three points against Norway, the average was raised to 1.84 points per game and to a total of 35 points in nineteen matches.
I hope it continues like this.
Nylander can do better
Yes, it was a perfect start for William Nylander when he joined this Swedish team.
Even though he just landed and his body is still ready Toronto time.
He could do so much better, but that extra stellar brilliance was just what this World Cup team needed.
Now he has a few nights to adjust his body and another team match against Latvia to shoot himself.
But the most fun thing to see, is how he thinks it’s insanely fun to play in the national team.
He really likes this.
But then he also grew up with a father who ran away and played the World Cup as soon as he had the chance.
Michael Nylander has played ten World Cup tournaments and won two World Cup golds and eight medals.
It’s nice to have that loyalty inherited.
The World Cup needs its stars and artists, and the entire tournament appears to be on the rise now that Czechs have brought back David Pasternak of Boston and Sweden’s William Nylander of Toronto.
Pastrnak only had time to play two games and had already reached five points.
The brilliance of the stars is not to be underestimated.
Of course, there were more Swedish players who were good against Norway.
It felt like everyone was growing a few inches, and the whole team improved a little bit with Nylander on the ice.
As top scorer with two goals, Jacob Peterson and Rasmus Asplund who scored their fifth and sixth goals in the tournament. And the streak of success with Nils Ohmann, Oscar Lang and Max Fryberg is still like dogs.
It is troubling, however, that hill Oliver Eckmann Larsson was missing and was not “playable,” in the words of Johann Garbenloff.
I hope it’s not too serious, Ekman Larsson losing in qualifying will be too.
very serious.
OOO
In Group Two, Switzerland won a chaotic match against France, despite the French winning the first half 2-0 as well as missing a penalty.
But Switzerland turned around and won 5-2 in the end and claimed their sixth straight win.
Now, one point in the last game against Germany is enough to secure Tuesday’s group win.
