Federation captain Johan Garpenlöv only lined up with three chains in the premiere.

This is because they are still waiting for any reinforcements, especially from the NHL.

Of the three chains, expert Jonas Andersson only gives an approved grade to one.

- There are few players who get approved in this match.

The chain with Rasmus Asplund, Max Friberg and Joel Kellman does everything you can expect from them, but then it is frighteningly weak of the other forwards, he says.

Despite the relatively weak premiere, Andersson still does not want to draw any major conclusions.

- It is a premiere in the World Cup and if there is one thing I have learned over the years, it is that you should not pull too large gears of one.

It's more about getting it over with and getting three points, he says.
