Yeah, I agree that NHL >>> SHL, but I believe that it depends on the player as well (mikey touched upon it as well). My theory: ;) Players that are top scorers in SHL usually have a hard time in NHL since they are mostly suited for playing top 6 (Linus Klasen, Linus Omark, etc.). But they lack the t...

Thanks a lot :D Yeah, I am born and bred in Sweden and have lived here my whole life. I would say that you could make your way in Sweden quite easily by just being able to speak English. I would assume that I am slightly better in English than most Swedes, but the children in our country are probab...

Is it ok to be worried about the current situation in Sweden? It's fine to be worried. But don't let the fear rule your life. That's what they want. Just keep on keeping on. Yeah, I am not worried about getting killed or anything. It is more likely to get killed in traffic, imho. I am more worried ...

131649 There is such a thing as a "veteran maximum" in the AHL. I can't recite all the rules off hand, but basically, you can only dress five skaters (max) that have 320 professional games of experience (NHL, AHL, ECHL, Euro pro leagues, etc.) in any one game. That's where the numbers game comes in...

If I were going to guess, I'd say it'll be Niclas Anderson. It's a total shot in the dark, but I've heard nothing but great things about his play in WBS. Very, very good defensively. He's also a UFA at the end of the season, so the Pens may want to see what he's got before deciding whether to offer...

In other news, the Swedish Immigration department is out of places to place immigrants. So they went out and said that they can't do more and according to the law it is now up to each county to find lodging for each new person... http://www.dn.se/nyheter/sverige/migrationsverket-flyktingar-kan-fa-so...

Maatta leaving the arena on a gurney can't be good, unless there's a valid precautionary reason for doing so. I guess we'll be seeing Pouliot sooner than we all thought.

Never like to see anyone get hurt but god damn it I wish it was scuderi and not maatta

I feel a bit bad for agreeing

The prime minister and finance minister of Sweden for their shitty handling of the present crisis with our refugees. They should have closed the borders a long time ago...

New business opportunity: Sell tents to Sweden We have officially started to house immigrants in tents http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/paflykt/article21743000.ab (Aftonbladet is our biggest newspaper and has close ties to our ruling party Socialdemokraterna). Last week 10 000 immigrants arrived to...

Anything that has MEV and Bortuzzo right next to each other is a bit wonky.

TSN had an interesting article today on defenses/shots, showing us in the middle of the pack: http://www.tsn.ca/statistically-speaking-measuring-d-by-quality-of-shots-against-1.391447 It is interesting that Bortuzzo and Engelland are 4th and 5th on the list of lowest % of high-danger chances / shot...

Thanks for the welcome =) As has been written multiple times it is strange that Sprong (hopefully top-6 in the future) is kept by the GM when the coach does not want to play him more than a few minutes per game. But the forwards are quite good this year to be fair, so it is a tough lineup to crack. ...

Hi! I have been a lurker at the previous place and here for a while and thought that it was time to create an account. Most of you are probably much more knowledgable about hockey than I am, so bear with me ;) I was quite disappointed with the end of the last season when the team had large problems ...
