Really good news for the NT!

I don't agree. I don't think he fits SHL at all. My money is on him flunking in the SHL, but we'll see.
This is getting to be crazy! We have a very nice SHL group now.
Probably going to be a bit of a learning curve but he has shown on the national team that he can adapt to the rink size and also on discipline. Hope it goes well. This is probably the ideal situation for him to be honest. Lurked a bit on the Frølunda fan forum, and they seemed pleased but they did not know alot about him. They have not had a d-man like him for a while it sounded like. Talked about how he would be vital come playoff time.
Not only SHL but also KHL. It will be very interesting to follow the NT next season.
Yeah and besides the Danish group in Jokerit (in KHL), Stefan Lassen has also upgraded from Austria to play for Pelicans in the Finnish Liiga.
Just of my memory I think the Austrian league is quite money heavy. Not in a NLA or NLB way but there's quality there I think. Perhaps it's a side step from the Allsvenskan.
The thing about almost everybody playing at a higher level... It looks really nice on paper, but some of these guys are gonna have trouble adjusting to the better/different opponents. That could mean some of these guys are bound to have a tough/adjusting year.
Both Matias Lassen and Markus Lauridsen scored in the Leksand-AIK match.
An excuse to write a post in the SHL thread
Well it can be a combined Allsvenskan/SHL thread - I don't think anyone would mind.
Markus Lauridsen seems to have got a good start for AIK. Perhaps wise of him to go from AHL to an Allsvenskan club, instead of SHL. He will get playing time and adjust back to a big rink after some years in NA.
Otherwise in the SHL it has been a slow start for the Danish players.
Galbraith is "busy" in the Karlskrona goal (as expected), but put up decent numbers so far (for a bottom team).
Though not the level of last year, but then he also did start slowly.
No points from Jesper Jensen (that surprises me) and no games for Emil Kristensen.
Modest production from Hardt and Storm (both 1 goal) and Oliver Lauridsen is out injured.
Actually Lauridsen is back on the training grounds, so might not be too long before we see him on the ice.
Jesper Jensen (Rögle): 0G 3A (13M) - what happened, last year he was outstanding in Allsvenskan.
SHL happened the level of play is just so much higher in the best division. And lets not forget that he isnt the biggest center out there. I suspect he is getting pushed around a lot.
Sebastian Dahm is on the contrary showing amazing numbers for the bottom team Graz in EBEL.
After a period being dead last, they have actually started winning a lot of games lately.
Dahm has let in 2,87 GPG and yet still have 92,6% saves.
It just shows how many shots he faces each night!
Morten Poulsen also playing for Graz is doing well with 5G 5A in 16 games.
The firing of Todd B. seems to have improved things for Graz. Not that I think the coach is to blame for Herning's relatively poor results this season, but I wonder if the team management is considering bringing Todd back. He has had some level of success with the team in the past.
Todd B. got fired very early in the season - 5th of October. I think he was just unlucky with the team hitting a slump.
Dahm has been great all season, so Graz simply didn't score any goals (except Morten Poulsen that did net a few) until October began. Now beside Poulsen, they have more guys starting to score.
Graz simply has "Anaheim Syndrome" in September. Then the coach is blamed.
Strange as Todd B.'s additions to the team - Dahm and Poulsen - were the two best players on the team during this slump.
In SHL:
Karlskrona did claw themselves to a surprising 5-4 SO win. [but not with Galbraith in the net] and now have scraped 6 points together and still dead last. They can basically only take points from Djurgården
Even Rögle got a win - turning 1-3 into a 6-3 victory in the 3rd period.
No points for Jesper Jensen though.
In Allsvenskan:
For Sundsvall - Christoffer Kjærgaard is having a great season so far.
He is 7G 7A in 19 matches and lead producer for his team (and far the best Danish producer).
Just also wanted to note that Swede Malte Strömwall (AIK) has incredible 17G (and 8A) in 17 matches.
Second best scorer in the league has 10G. Pretty amazing.
Thomas Liilie has been the backup goalie in several games of the season already for the champions Växjö Lakers. Lets hope he gets his debut later...
Who follows our boys in SHL???
Are the points indicative of their performance?
