Kronwall55

I remember that losing that 5th year did play into it. But Feds also stated at the time he wanted way more ice time Really though these are answers that the Wings, Feds and his agent gave to the public. Only they know what really happened. One thing is for sure....Feds wanted that 5th year in Anaheim which he didn't get since he was traded. Seems that he never figured in a million years thought he could be traded. I'm not so sure we've seen the last of Fedorov (sounds like a storyline in a soap opera doens't it??)

That actually makes me thing of Hasek It's funny you bring up Seinfeld...earlier this season we were calling this "The Season of Kronner" (summer of George) since we were hoping this would be the year he didn't get hurt and finally have the breakout year we keep hearing he's gonna have. he hasn't done too badly this year though.....

Let em See Red was kind of cool. And I'll always be fond of I Want Stanley even though that is kind of lame as well (still have my I Want Stanley buttons I bring out every year during playoffs) I agree with whoever said we shouldn't bother with slogans. They just get worse every freaking year.

What was that one a couple years ago....Join the Red Wave or Ride the Red Wave....something like that. I didn't like that one at all! If the "are you in" is the new slogan....it's just lame

that game seemed a bit....blah except for the final minutes they played like they were half out of it

good, good, good!!!

way to go

FINALLY!!

I'm surprised he got as many games as he did. They were probably looking at it as "gee, we gotta do something Lets suspend him until right before the playoffs so he'll be well rested" They're idiots. I keep telling myself what goes around comes around and someday Pronger will get his.

Sounds like Kronwall had his share of 'freak' injuries before the NHL www.aftonbladet.se/vss/sport/story/0,2789,125785,00.html Translated article from HF boards: Originally Posted by http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/sport/story/...,125785,00.html Ouch, such an expensive victory two new injuries - luckily the OG begins soon, Djurgården... Before the game against Färjestad Djurgården had five men on the injurylist. Afterwards the number was seven. - So damn typical (doesn't translate very well). Me and a buddy was talking the night before about how good i've managed from getting injuries, says Niklas Kronwall, who thrashed his knee. Last year it was HV71 and this year it's Djurgården and Brynäs that's had the biggest injuryproblems in elitserien. Five djurgården players was missing from the lineup before the heavyweight meet(?) against Färjestad and it would become even worse already in the first period. The Torpedo (read winger) Mikael "Musse" Håkansson was gonna make a tackle but missed and went into the boards with his head first. Result: a lighter nickinjury "the knee snapped" In the shift it was Kronwalls turn to leave the ice. He was gonna make a quick turn and got stuck with the skate. Result: a torn meniscus. - I felt right away that the right kneee snapped and it hurt like hell. It was only to leave the ice, he says. (poor translation) Kronwall was examined Djurgårdens doctor Bengt Gustafsson and the diognosis came quickly. The Meniscus is torn. 07.30 o'clock next morning i have to be at St Görans hospital. They aparently need to operate, says Kronwall with a light sigh. Why did you talk? Previous years he's suffered heavly from injuries, but this season Kronwall has played all the games. - We shouldn't have talked about it, he says. And continues: - Before the game me and a buddy talked about injuries and he said: "but how healthy you've gotten to be the whole season" (iffy translation). He said "peppar peppar" (sort of like knock on wood) afterwards, but now we know what it ment". It could've been worse. If the operation goes successfully Niklas Kronwall will be back in a few weeks. When elitserien starts over after the OG (Olympic Games). - Yeah, luckily it happened now and not in the playoffs. In less than a week Djurgården has won twice over the favorite of the series Färjestad the spell is broken. - They won all the games in the beginning of the series, but now we have a psychological advantage over them going into the end of the series, says Kronwall. The swedish champions are beggining to find the championship form. Despite all the injuries.
