Meanwhile, on the other side of the pond 2025/26

Great to hear, Per!

If there's hope for them, there's hope for us.

[Cookie La Rue]

Great story Per. Glad you did it.

[Lancer]

Good stuff Per!! Hope they can stay up there a while.

[Hockey Widow]

And to think that they did it with a team full of Swedes!

Against a team full of Swedes.

I don't think you would understand the anatomy of dolls this svelte.

I don't have any particular issue with Swedes any more than I do with any other Nationality (with respect to hockey players).

A beast is a beast and a pussy is a pussy irrespective of where Mama dropped them.

I just think the Canucks need to do a 180 and start adding some Canadian talent to their lineup.

Their hand picked Swede group ain't working.

I'm with my boy Leves.

I've been a diehard Canucks/Swedes fan since Gradin, Sundstrom, Naslund (when he wasn't choking)... huge Sedins backers when it wasn't cool.

Butt fuck, enough failure already. Enough of the groundhog day, again and again, over and over. I Don't Got You Babe.

It's not necessarily lack of Swede Emotion, it's sick of the same plan, same decisions, same personnel, same attitude, same road, same scenery, same outcome.

Let's do a U-turn and try something different. Anything different. Canadian different.

FFS.

I think you guys need a yank off a Kalle's toothpaste tube full of creamy fish eggs to settle your nerves

[Carl Yagro]

I think you need to stop getting all horny and yanking off to the IKEA catalogue.

There's already too much Swedish junk in the house that you can't even give it away. Nobody wants it.

Well, we do have the odd Canadian…

… as well as a Latvian kid and a handful of Finns.
But sure, mostly Swedes.

Now that Björklöven has reached the SHL we're in for an interesting Silly Season!

It seems like Lucas Wallmark is coming home. 187 NHL games, mostly for Carolina. Has spent the last three years in the Swiss National League, playing for Fribourg-Gotteron. They are right now facing Davos in the final and they're 2-2 so far in the series, with Wallmark being one of their key players. He is now 30 and the rumours say he has signed a six year contract with his old hometown team. Guess he plans to finish his career where he started it! They haven't announced this contract yet, I mean, he is in the midst of the Swiss playoffs, but several credible sources say it's a done deal.

There are also rumours that they are tugging at Carl Grundström. 339 NHL games, most recently with the Flyers but mainly with LA. Philly has not offered him a new contract, but he has stated his preferred option is to stay in the NHL.
He is 28, and spent part of this season in the AHL. If he is not offered a spot on an NHL team, I guess we may be his plan B.

[Megaterio Llamas]

Ah, that's awesome Per.

Congratulations, this time you really did it.

[5thhorseman]

It's a great story Per! I'm glad for you!

Would be nice to have a hometown feeling for our Canucks again, like we had in 94.
