Rasmus produced Dallen directly in the national team uniform.
But it wasn’t certain that the NHL defender would play the World Cup rematch against Finland.
– We found out that he had changed his plane ticket, so we asked the question, as the captain of the national team, Johann Garbenlov, said after the 4-3 victory.
three crowns She finished the Beijer Hockey Games with a 4-3 victory over World Cup host nation Finland.
NHL defender Rasmus Dahlin has been noted for two assists – but the 22-year-old wasn’t certain he would be with him.
– I got the call at 10.30, says Rasmus Dahlen who flew from Gothenburg and landed in Stockholm about 13 years earlier today.
The 22-year-old says he has never hesitated to say yes to the international match.
– It was loud, but it was cool.
Thought to watch the match
In fact, Dahlin intended to watch the match, but Garbenlove is glad he chose to play.
– I think it was good for him. We have two practice sessions next week and then two matches, so it’s going really fast. I think this match makes a difference to the way he plays in the World Cup, says Garbenlov.
Dahlin participated and invited the audience to a really nice hockey goal. The NHL defender went on to attack and played a puck to Emil Bemström. The Swedish striker put the blade on Joachim Nordstrom, who in turn led 2-0.
Ring size – change
Dahlin’s second assist in the match came on his debut in the power game.
“We’ve made him a little quieter in that form of play today, but you’ll probably see him play there later,” says Garbenlov.
Dahlin admits it was a change to be back in the big ring again.
– That was the biggest difference. It took a long time to get to the disk everywhere I felt it. There were a lot of surfaces, a lot to learn. He says: I think it’s good that I had a game before the World Cup.
Austria awaits the World Cup premiere. Is it good if the match on paper is a little easier so that you have more time to adapt your game to the size of the rink?
– It probably doesn’t matter who we meet. Austria will likely come in strong. It is important to be ready.
The league captain is happy with the game
Max Friberg gave Tre Kronor the lead after 49 seconds and Joachim Nordström increased 2-0 after just four minutes.
Sakkari Maninen weighs heavily on the Finnish state. For the purposes of this regulation, the Swedish authorities in the Neutral Zone are, in full swing, Maninen’s.
Tre Kronor regained the lead.
Through goals by Joel Kellmann and Emil Bimström, Sweden defeated the Finnish Lions 4-3.
It feels good that we scored four goals. Bimstrom scored again feeling relieved, too. In terms of gameplay, I think we played really well, long moments, and in some moments we played hard and naive. Johann Garbenlov says the match, which has been more than 60 minutes, I feel good.
Tre Kronor finished second in the Beijer Hockey Games. The Czech Republic won, Switzerland came in third, and Finland came in last with zero points.
