From the Branches: Team Sweden needs some help

As World Juniors draws closer, the situation around it seems to only grow more farcical. The latest announcement has to do with Team Sweden’s coaching staff, who apparently have posted an 80% COVID-19 positivity rate:

Goalie coach Nizze Landén is the fourth person in the Swedish coaching staff to test positive for Covid-19. Tomas Montén, Anders Lundberg and Adam Almqvist Andersson are already out. Sweden has brought in U18 coach Anders Eriksén to assist Joel Rönnmark, the remaining coach. https://t.co/wSYbhml6Y3

They’re bringing in a backup coach because there’s only one guy on the coaching staff who doesn’t have COVID-19.
