Played 28 games in NHL (Columbo Blue Jackets)


Jonas Soling,28,will not be playing with Linköpings HC next season.He's been looking for other alternatives since he doesn't get enough time on ice.Maybe he will show up in an other team in Elitserien.

Jonathan Hedström,28,signed a 4-year contract with Timrå IK.
He played there 2004/2005.

Hello out there!

Hope you're having a wonderful time with lots of sun...We got down
to the lake earlier today just in time to get struck by lightning.Ok,not
really but my timing is not always perfect.

Switzerland is fortunate to have a Färjestads-player coming to play in
Lugano,Rickard Wallin,26.They have signed a 1-year contract with him.He will team up with players such as Jukka Hentunen from Finland and the american Landon Wilsom.

Take care for now

Hi everyone.

Us swedes have been celebrating midsummer as we do every year
at this time.Eat good food like "sill"(herring) and potatoe,take a "snaps"(dram,snaps,schnapps,you name it lol).Can't take too many though,you have to be able to dance around that silly tree.

Silly,not my words.An american said that when i tried to explain
what we're celebrating over here,and i can agree that it looks a bit funny sometimes when we're jumping around the "midsommarstång". That's the word for the tree btw lol.

Brings me to my next subject which is hockey.
What are you saying,trees don't make you think about hockey?
Anywaysss:

Radek Duda,27,a czech player signed contract with Malmö Redhawks.Duda has played with HC Sparta Prag,Banik Sokolov,Regina Pats,Lethbridge Hurricanes,HC Slavia Prag and the russian team Ak Bars Kazan.
Dang,can't that man make up his mind what team to
play in...

Bye for now and tc

Hi hockeylovers!

I wrote about Per Ledin yesterday.His dreams of playing in NHL might not come true because of problems with the contract.Hope they get that worked out.

Lasse Pirjetä,32,(from Finland) signed contract with Malmö.
He has played NHL-hockey in Pittsburg Penguins and Columbus
Blue Jackets.Last season he played with EHC Kloten in Switzerland.

MODO loses Rastislav Pavlikovsky,29, to the swiss team ZSC Lions.

And here's a cool one (my oppinion again,i'm allowed to have one since it's my blog):

Ulf Dahlén,39,new assisting coach for Dallas Stars.
He will work with Dave Tippet,43,who has lead the team
since spring 2002.
Ulf spent 6 seasons with Dallas,but has never won Stanley
Cup as a player,maybe he will as an assisting coach

That's all for now.Take care out there and behave!

Hello everyone!

Sweden beat Paraguay 1-0 so that is what i will give you,1 name.
I don't even like that game,soccer but still watched it.It's strange though,in school i learned that "fotboll" (swedish) is football in english.It was not until years later someone told me-that's not football that's soccer.
Duh me.

Richard Lintner has signed a contract with Skellefteå AIK.He has played in all kinds of leagues,i know him from Djurgården.He has also played in Modo (Sweden) and NHL.

Before i forget:Btw Carolina,ahem....again.

Niklas Sundström,31,leaves Montreal Canadiens and moves

Goodnite everyone

Hi everyone out there!

Today it's national day here in Sweden,so rise and shine,time to
sing the National Anthem And it's 060606,anything could
happen today!

Just a quickie before i have breakfast:

Lance Ward,28 from Canada has signed for HV71.He has
recently played in AHL-team Binghamton Senators.
(Funny name,Binghamton *s*).

See u in a little while.

Yes i'm a bit behind,computer is acting up.Hope everyone is doing well. Watched an old movie here today:Romancing the stone,pretty good one.

If i haven't mentioned it yet my favourite (always having problems with that word,favorite or favourite) team is Djurgårdens If.Why i say this now it's because it's their turn.

They lose 1 player maybe 2.One of them is the norwegian forward Patrick Thoresen who signed for Edmonton Oilers.
(I Did sign a namelist,a list for people wanting him to stay,first time i did that).He has played junior hockey in the league QMJHL.
The other player who has not even played 1 game with Djurgården yet,Nicklas Danielsson has an offer from Vancouver Canucks,we'll see what happens with that.

Bye for now!

Hi all you hockeylovers ! There's no summer where i live right now(rain,rain) so what could be better then reading about people coming and going.

Jonas Nordquist,Luleå is off to play with Chicago Blackhawks.
Mora signed a contract with Tomas Harant.He played for Slovakia during WC in Riga and has recently played for the czech team Ceské Budejovice.
HV71 found a replacement for Stefan Liv.It's the canadian goalkeeper Scott Langkow,31.

It's settled now.Fredrik Norrena will leave Linköping to play in Tampa Bay Lightning.
Brynäs loses Jonas Almtorp to Edmonton.

Jan Hammar,32,an other swede to go play in Comet (Norway).Last season he played in Cortina and before that in Malmö.

Have a nice day

Goalies are leaving but don't worry we have more

Will Fredrik Norrena leave Linköping?
Nothing is settled yet but it looks like he's going to Tampa Bay.

Stefan Liv is already signed up with Detroit Red Wings and Johan "Honken" Holmquist,Brynäs and Karol Krizan,Modo is chased by several NHL-teams (thiefs lol).

Elitserien (Elite League) has a new headsponsor for the next 3 years,Telenor.More hockey in your cellphones.Does anyone ever read the commercials anyway when you go see a game.

It's different if u watch tv,commercial breaks in the middle of something kinda slaps you in the face.Almost get heartattack from the sound being so much louder then the show you were watching.I mean if it's hockey nothing else arround you excists right?

Have a nice day! IDG.se

Ok they heard me,they gave something back lol.

Chris Kelleher,31 from AHL will be playing in Linköping.
He has signed a 1-year contract.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The norwegian player Morten Ask,26 has signed a contract
with Djurgården.And André Mattsson will leave them to play for Comet in Norway.

See u later

I hope i don't have to sit here everyday and see all our players take off to NHL.Give us some back damnit! From now on i'm going to use the excellent word:Thief.

Joel Lundquist (Frölunda) is off to Dallas Stars a 3-year contract. His twinbrother Henrik already plays in New York Rangers.

Daniel Widing (Brynäs) signed a contract with Nashville Predators.

So the thiefs today are Dallas Stars and Nashville Predators.

Have a nice day

Are you all tired of celebrating? Good...Here is some good reading.

The teams in Swedens Elitserien now has stronger economy then ever.Out of 14 teams 11 shows a profit of 47 million (swedish crones of course).The big winners are Frölunda,HV71 and Färjestad who pulled in 38 million during the season.

HV:s goalkeeper Stefan Liv is going to sign a contract for NHL,Detroit.It's a 1 year contract.

Janne Houkko (Södertälje) will play for Leksand this season.

Jesse Niinimäki will play for Luleå,a 2-year contract.

HV71:s Peter Ekelund,35 has decided to quit playing hockey.He has also played in Bülach (Switzerland) and Cortina (Italy).

Bengt-Åke Gustafsson,how cool it would be if he becomes the first swede to coach an NHL-team.He's da man.

Have a nice day all

Luleå is changing clothes too.From black to red but with the same design.They will also have a yellow retrosweater (going back to my roots *s*) that looks like the one the team had during the debute-season in the Elitserie.

Skellefteå recruits the 28-year old goalkeeper Dave Stathos who has played in Lahti Pelicans.

HV71:s player Johan Halvardsson wont be playing for them.He's off to NHL and New York Islanders.

Färjestad is changing clothes.From purple/yellow to black/white.

What a shame,i've always liked purple.
