trades?

there's been some trades in the swedish league today, this the last day for the transferwindow. the most intressting one for me, Frölunda Indians have traded their younge defense talant Johan Fransson (21 years) for the more scared Oscar Ackerström(34), he's been in Frölunda before.
Fransson has not been that good this season and Frölunda that need to stay strong, since they battleing for a playoff place. no need for a younge not as tough defenseplayer?

I have always liked the fact that Frölunda have put their faith in younger player, but that seems to be something of the past. in the team today their is almost nobody that is a own product. well, they have 2-3 players, Joel Gistedt (goalie), Anton Axelsson(winger) and Patrik Carlsson (winger). Gistedt have been really good so far, and has got himself a place in the swedish international team that plays the LG Games, and he was one of 2 goalies that played for sweden in the junoir world championships. He's been compared to Henrik Lundqvist, goalie for NY Rangers and former Frölunda Indians player. Gistedt is good, no doubt. at the age of 19 he is one of the best goalies in the league. Anton Axelsson is good too, younger brother of PJ Axelsson in Boston. you can see that they are related, playes hard, fast and do not stop for anyone. players you love to have in your team.

these games coming up in elite league will make or brake for some of the teams. not many points is between a playoff place and the brutal fact of miss the playoffs. my guess is that Frölunda will make it, so will Luleå and Skellefteå. Linköping and Djurgården, they will miss the party. for them the season will be over and for linköping that will be hard, since they were expected to be a top 4, top 5 team.

The First One

This is my first posting for this blog and my ideas are to write about hockey, in all kinds of forms, but most about sweden and its player in the NHL. There will be pace for other playesr and ideas too.

next week its time for the LG Hockey Games in Sweden. The playoff is only a few games away in the swedish elite league, the chase for the last playoff places is getting tight. and will Flyers trade Forsberg before the NHL Playoff?

this is good times for us hockeylovers
