Buuuhuhuhu.
The team has left the SHL, so that can’t happen.
In 2019, the meeting of the Swedish Ice Hockey Federation decided to introduce a new league system starting with the 2020/2021 season.
The basis for the decision was provided by sole investigator Ola Lundberg, and at the annual meeting all SHL clubs are entitled to vote, unlike Allsvenskan ice hockey clubs, which can influence across regions in which the SHL is a power factor.
Democracy is built in Swedish ice hockey brilliantly.
The motion was voted through.
Briefly explained, it was based on the fact that an allsvenskan ice hockey team must be guaranteed a place in the SHL, that an SHL team must always leave and the system replaces the previous mechanism where teams from the SHL and allsvenskan ice hockey (after an incredibly complex qualification system) were played for Staying at the top of the chain in Sweden.
It’s on this skeletal series that we live now and have done a few seasons.
Already in 2019, I thought the proposal was cowardly, nonsense and boring, and my position has always been to revitalize the series in Sweden’s top three series, rather than stifle it.
“Not fun to play”
Last year Djurgården left the SHL after four straight losses against Timrå, it was frustrating but not much more than that.
Did you join the game, etc.
Last Thursday, Brynäs left the SHL and now there’s a different sound in the bark.
Brynä’s management didn’t complain, but TV critics were snobs with broken hearts, die-hard ice hockey players from the past thought it unfair (it’s not clear what was unfair) and casual ice hockey fans usually couldn’t avoid tainting either. One, the other.
“My Heart Will Go On” can be played as background music on C More broadcasts.
The next day, worse.
– Someone thinks Brynäs and Djurgården should not play in Allsvenskan.
Why not?
They are clearly no better.
Ponthus Westerholm from Malmö believes in an interview in Expressen that “something has to be done about” the current system.
It’s not fun to play these matches. He thought hockey was supposed to be fun and it’s not very fun.
Cole.
The next task for lone detective Ola Lundberg will be to find a qualifying match that the SHL team he leaves thinks is fun.
Ahead of the series between Brynäs and Malmö, Brynäs player Johannes Kinnvall wanted to see a change in qualification.
It’s all incredibly stupid
– I think you should go back to how it was before, that the Allsvenskan team is fighting against the SHL team.
What loser Kinvale, winner Westerholm, and many more are now expressing is that a lousy, poorly managed and in many ways ice hockey team that ultimately ended up in the SHL should get a chance to beat a team that lives on crumbs compared to on a TV contract the SHL crashes. every year.
Only then will it be fair.
Otherwise, this is not fun.
Ice hockey should be fun.
Earn 150,000 kroner a month and then you think it’s so hard to leave a chain because you’ve been really lousy for eight months, I guess players are pushing these issues hard with their clubs and union representatives?
It’s all so stupid that I wish someone would knock me unconscious and freeze me in the central circle in Uppland’s Biforum Square.
You don’t have to take it literally, Anders Larsson.
In Swedish sport, we both agreed that we wanted a living league system where there is potential for promotion, and with that also comes the risk of being knocked out.
Should we stop counting tables?
At the same time, Swedish ice hockey created a financial monster in the SHL which, according to some, is very difficult to leave, but the SHL itself never had any ambitions to do anything about it.
The simplest, most logical and most reasonable thing is to increase the number of up and down positions, and then a reduction does not mean complete destruction.
So, change then?
Then maybe we won’t have to listen to that wailing as soon as the team is in danger of relegation, which we never hear about in, say, Swedish football.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Should Swedish men’s ice hockey do as in Sankt Erikskopen for seven-year-olds, refrain from counting goals, score and tables?
So that it doesn’t get too hard?
Now you might expect constructive ideas about how many teams will play in each series and what the qualification mechanisms will look like.
forget that.
Foppa thinks 16 teams, Patrik Sylvegård thinks 20 in the North-South series, narrowed down to twelve teams and redistributes TV money as Mats Grauers believes.
bra.
Donkeys wailing, lips sills
All of this has to be discussed, debated, beaten and dipped every day, all year round, except for the day after a classic SHL team is forced to abdicate.
Of course, the same pathetic wailing wouldn’t have been there if it had been Oskarshamn or Timrå who had come out, and now Brynäs is a classic and then everyone’s sobbing and his mind emotionally feeble.
It’s great that Peter Forsberg lifts the ice hockey hole in Switzerland and gets involved in Swedish ice hockey, more people should do it more often.
Ice hockey players are usually quick to seize every opportunity to make fun of soccer players and their weaknesses, portraying them and any exaggerated gestures.
It would be nice if Swedish ice hockey stood for something, at some point, instead of being laughably fragile.
What a terrible and unforgiving degeneration.
