On the topic of Swedes, this is how the averages in the swedish league look:
Thorsell 1,758
Nilsson 1,613
Lahti 1,568
Berntzon 1,517
So fairly close between them, of course a big factor being which teams they've faced and so on but Thorsell clearly having a good season. When considering his performance in Poland and that he got a podium in the first SEC meeting I think he is the obvious first choice to pair with Lindgren.
Of the guys that got left out I don't really think Hellström-Bängs can complain and Lindback is not doing great in Poland from what I've seen.
Lindbäck 1,528
Casper Henriksson 1,346
Hellström Bängs 1,036
