Tre Kronor misses promoting dreams of a restroom.
Perhaps the best goaltender in the NHL, Linus Ollmark turned down.
Tre Kronor has just finished its last Euro hockey tournament, and the finale against Finland ended with a win in overtime.
And at the same time that national team captain Sam Hallam is putting the team together on the ice, he’s also putting together a WC team for the tournament in Tampere, which starts on Friday.
As usual, it’s a moot point which players will be released from the NHL and which ones can’t participate for various reasons.
Linus Ullmark, 29, has a crazy season behind him in Boston. He has already won the William M Award. He also has the lowest save percentage in the league and the most wins among goaltenders.
Add to this the fact that he’s even the top scorer in the best league in the world, as the 13th goalkeeper of all time, and you understand that Allmark can be content with the regular season.
The season ended very quickly for the Boston favorite, who dominated the NHL this season. They were knocked out in the first round of the Stanley Cup when they lost to the New York Islanders in a thrilling series.
Ullmark approved WC last year, but now it won’t be thank you.
According to the information provided to Sportbladet, Ullmark refused for a reason that is not yet confirmed.
At the moment, Tre Kronor’s goalkeeper staff consists of Lars Johansson, Markus Hojbjerg, Jesper Walstedt.
The preliminary squad for the World Cup will be chosen at the beginning of next week.
Tri Kronor’s first World Cup match will be played on Friday against Germany.
