mjlee 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) As you guys can imagine, the SC finals are pretty big here in Sweden, considering half the nantional team is playing and one of the biggest tabloids, Aftonbladet, has a guy who regularly blogs live from the NHL on gamedays - since he's based in NY he usually focuses on the Eastern conference. But he's in Detroit at the moment covering the finals. Link http://blogg.aftonbladet.se/18756 and possibly because he's Swedish and bribes the players with Swedish snuff, they tend to relax and be a little less like walking cliches and more like actual human beings. If you scroll down the blog you'll find some pretty fun pictures he's taken, one of a demented looking Babcock, the heading underneath entitled, Babcock chasing Lilja... There is also a picture of Franzen's sticks and the bowels of the Joe with the game jersies and one of Lidstrom's dad (if you wondered who the older guy is). He also sprinkles his blogs with fun little tidbits about the players and I've collected a few for you guys. Let me know if you want me to continue doing so. Fillipula on what he'll say to his countryman Ruutu if they meet on the ice: "Eh, I'm not going to be the one who'll say something..." Lidstrom. Kronwall, Franzen and Holmstrom eat lunch together on game day at Andiamo(?) Holmstrom pays because once last winter after he paid, he played a great game. Lilja and Samuelsson are not allowed to join the others for lunch. Because, they would like everyone to know, they're blue collar workers and not allowed at a fancy place like Andiamo, therefore they have to make do with a home made lunch box. Holmstrom on whether he thought a fuming Babcock would try and kill the refs after the goal was dissallowed: "I thought he'd kill me..." Holmstrom on whether Samuelsson is the new Franzen: "Nah, Frasse scores hat tricks" Brian Engblom walks around dressed in a pair of hideous stone bleached jeans when not in the studio Lidstrom on whether he changes his routine during the SC finals: "No, I eat lunch on my way home and then I'll have a nap" Journalist: "You can sleep today?" (This was before game 1) "Sure, no problem" Crosby has thighs like oak barrels NB. Edited so the link to the blog works! Edited May 26, 2008 by mjlee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
