LOL! Probably not true. More likely that some English speaking dude did. :lol:

Kärpät means wolverines in Finnish, and I'm not sure you want to munch on those...
Tappara means pole axe though, and I guess it makes sense you could take out wolverines with a pole axe.
As long as they're not too many.

Speaking of Munch...

Markström played well last night as Sweden beat Russia 4-1 in a friendly.
He only faced seven shots, but still.

Not as good in the second game. Russia won 4-0, and the first goal was a gift from Markström; he went behind the goal cage to get the puck, then sent it right to a Russian player who could score in an empty net.... :crazy:

Two more friendlies, these against the Czechs, before the World Championships.

In other news, Frölunda are now Swedish champions after having beaten Skellefteå in five.

The fans chanted that captain Joel Lundquist is the pride of his family, seeing as his twin brother Henrik did not fare quite as well with his Rangers...
