Incidentally, David Krejci will very likely go back to the US in the fall (family reasons).

@Lelldorin yo man, I need you to get back my $300 USD (that's like 55 trillion crowns or whatever you guys use) from Johan Garpenlov. You'll receive a 20% finder's fee for your trouble...

Worst coach in history. Swedes beat Garpenlöv after collapse with Canada
May 27, 2022 12:59 PM

They had a great quarterfinal against Canada. They were up 3-0 after two periods, heading into the medal fight. But the Swedes lost a significant lead, lost 3:4 after overtime and left the World Cup disappointed again after a year. At home, they took a big hit for a rare collapse, with the media criticising coach Johan Garpenlöv in particular.

"The worst coach in the history in the history of the national team," the Expressen newspaper described the fifty-four-year-old coach.

Journalist Mats Wennerholm used the same words in his commentary for Aftonbladet. He described Garpenlöv's tenure with the national team as a nightmare

"His fear of losing has once again overtaken his desire to win," he wrote.

"I didn't like the way he coached the game. We were too passive, he should have relied on more experienced players at the end," added Erik Granqvist, Viaplay expert.

The Stockholm native was already heavily criticised by the media last year, when the Swedes failed to advance out of the group and missed the play-offs for the first time since the current World Cup system was introduced.

While last year they struggled from the start in Riga, this time they had a much better tournament. They finished second in Group B. They also beat the home team Finns (3:2 after a shootout), and fell short only to the Americans (2:3 after overtime).

At first they had problems with the composition of the squad, but the situation was complicated by excuses and the late end of the final of the domestic competition. "The people in charge weren't thinking," Garpenlöv was angry at the start of the tournament.

But in the end, he had twelve NHL players at his disposal, including experienced captain Oliver Ekman Larsson, talented defenseman Rasmus Dahlin and star forward William Nylander.

Even so, he didn't lead the team to success and became the first head coach in history not to win a single medal at a major event during his tenure at the helm of the Swedish national team.

But no debate about his possible future with the national team will follow. Garpenlöv had previously announced that he would retire as head coach after this year's World Cup.

However, the former Detroit and San Jose striker has found support from the players. "A fantastic person and coach who deserved the medal. I'm really sorry he has to say goodbye like this," said a devastated Ekman Larsson after the defeat to Canada.

Carl Klingberg spoke in the same vein: "It's sad, he was there for us the whole time. I'm sorry, I can't find the words at the moment. This defeat will stay with me for a long time."

And no wonder. The Swedes had built up a comfortable lead, but as time went on they completely fell apart. In the second period, they sent a single shot at Chris Driedger, while Canada fired 19 times in the middle period.

Two goals in the fifty-ninth minute sent the game into overtime, with Nylander fouling out after just thirty-five seconds. Drake Batherson took advantage of the power play in a flash.

The players in yellow didn't want to believe their opponent's incredible turnaround, and the disappointment was evident even on their coach: "One of the hardest days of my sporting life. I'm sorry especially for the boys, we should have won a medal."

Garpenlöv had to deal with the loss of his father in Finland, who died a few weeks before the championship.

"It didn't interfere with my work, but when you're sitting alone somewhere, of course it gets into your head. I'm only human too. I'm going to go home now and bury my dad next week."

I am on it! Do you accept an offer where you take over his contract instead of the cash? Perhaps I could even throw in a midsummer party if you take him of our hands
