From the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet: http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/hockey/sverige/elitserien/farjestad/article12914107.ab Translated by google translate: Gold hero: Detroit does not seem particularly interested anymore MALMO. Dick Axelsson fled back to Detroit might be about to crack. In all cases, according to himself. - Yes, they do not seem particularly interested anymore. So now I do not know what happens, "he says. There have been many trips around Dick Axelsson, and after winning the gold medal with Färjestad on Saturday, he said that it was his last game in the club. All have taken for granted that Dick would return to Detroit's organization in the NHL. Not ready for the KHL - But now I do not know. There is no reaction from them and everything is up for grabs right now. It is well if so, whether they succeed me with any other NHL team, "he says. KHL, then? - Well, I know me not quite ready for that yet. So you can be left in Färjestad? - I do not know. Everything seems to open right now. I do not really know what I want, or what happens. Dick Axelsson left Detroit's AHL affiliate Grand Rapids in the middle of the season last year and was loaned out to Färjestad. Last winter, he belonged to Värmlänningarna. But should be back to the NHL's Detroit, the only alternative. As he left the club were frozen contract under the NHL's rules and he is in Detroit until 2012/13. Dick Axelsson, 23, was 30 points (15 +15) in 47 league games with Färjestad. - Mats Wennerholm

omg..

He is doing well in the playoffs and I expect him to sign with the Wings this summer. He already announced that he will most likely not play in the SEL next season.

Reaaaally close now.. 52%

It's not meaningless. People have payed big money to go watch them at the Joe.

Voted Zetterberg. He carried us while Datsyuk was injured.

Wow! Jeopardizing the Art Ross for a baby.. Actually, when asked by the Swedish press, they both agreed that Daniel had always been the better player of the two. I think Henrik had exactly 1 ppg in the games Daniel missed last season.

Bad call indeed.

In 4 of the last 6 games the opposing team's goalie has been selected as one of the 3 stars.

Cheers mate!

still no streams up?

I disagree. I played hockey up until I was 19 years old in the Swedish 2nd division and can't say I ever threw a hit without knowing what I was doing/where I was. Chara knew exactly what he was doing, I'm not sure whether or not he should have been suspended though. I remember Forsberg did a similar thing some years ago. Anyone know if he was suspended for it (at 1:35)? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRtrQ1YrCzw

Say what now?

I would love it but only because of the NBC Road to the Winter Classic

Good job!

Assistant GM Jim Nill states in a Swedish newspaper that they want Dick Axelsson to give NHL another shot. They seem rather forgiving for what he did last time and Dick appears to be willing to give it another try when he feels ready. No big surprise considering how he performed in the LG Hockey games.

No way. Do you think Kovy and Ovie just forgot how to play hockey all of a sudden? And Canada in the 3rd period of the WJC final? Confidence is the difference between a winner and a loser. Actually, confidence means EVERYTHING to a professional athlete.

Why do you even care? It's completely up to him. He keeps trying because he loves the game more than anything. He never asked for any attention and as a matter of fact, he hates it.

I admire his passion for the game, and I think it's up to Forsberg to decide when it's time to hang em up.

Markus Näslund at a hockey school in Timrå, Sweden, when I was younger. Me and around 15 other boys my age faced him on the ice. He beat the c**p out of us

I can totally see that happening!

Would love to see it again next year. Bylsma seems like an awesome coach btw.

This.

Say what ? It is extremely rare that girls go under the knife in Sweden.
