Levi at SHL Opening Meeting: Swedish Ice Hockey Boys Are Fierce

Thirteen Swedish ice hockey players stood up, pushed into the corner and pushed, all too shy or uninterested in asking to dance.

Then it became the Finnish tango.

Inaugural meeting.

Is it one of the most Swedish words?

It is usually said that there is a lack of translation of the word “quite right” in the world, and it was so for a long time until we began our preliminary meetings.

I’ve attended a series of pre-shows, once at the Allsvenskan football stadium in Norrköping where Eldkvarn performed during dinner without anyone barely noticing their presence.

Everyone fully participated in the area defense and man-to-man talks.

Before my time, Allsvenskan football coaches and journalists were out by boat in the Baltic Sea and after hearings and surveys everyone met and “had dinner”.

It is not uncommon for it to get out of hand and there are some classic stories.

Lennart “Liston” Soderbergh is said to have threatened to scalp Olof Lunde in the toilet late one evening after coach Vasteras Lunde was blamed for some of the satirical headlines.

We probably shouldn’t go there again, but something should happen soon with these additions.

C More, the SHL’s biggest sponsor, holds the strings, broadcasts matches on TV and largely decides how things should look and feel.

Experts are well-read, reporters are curious, coaches and players who have to answer questions unfortunately are often indifferent and passive.

Tidenby nervous boy washing machine

A few days before the premiere of a series that many expect to be the most even in a very, very long time, which is already the most difficult point in living memory, no one dares to stick their chin or stick it. The courage to muster genuine curiosity for anything other than how their team should have “good day operations.”

Matthias Tidenby He was at first and maybe that’s why he was so nervous, the boy was washing up.

He’s still playing the KHL contract last season, so he doesn’t seem to have any major concerns about what other people should be thinking and thinking about.

On his way to the platform, he spit his sniff into the upper chamber of the box, then standardized the rest of the hearing by analyzing the HV71 position.

– What was, but now is a new time.

Definitely worth thinking about.

Jörgen Jönsson takes charge of head coaching at Växjö ‘with great humility’, LHC coach Klas Östman thinks he’s ‘blowing off a bit’ at Linköping, Matthias Brömney looks forward to the ‘journey’ that Örebro now has to take, somewhere, Robert Olsson named Jocke Lindström A ‘role model’ and Cam Abbott’s transatlantic English still works decently as a cliché even if ‘One Game at a Time’ reveals its entire cover.

After a moment of total lack of spirit and stereotypical ice hockey answers, ice hockey’s libido is still stirred when Brenas coach Mikko Maner steps forward.

Still saying something that’s where we came from, that our Swedish ice hockey boys are so cocky that our Finnish brethren are so cheerful and colorful.

Need to give karaoke bar another chance

Manner talked about how he had always dreamed of traveling abroad, and that he took on Brenas coaching in a situation where he felt things couldn’t get any worse for him as a coach.

He described his job as assistant captain in Finland as simple because it’s just to go out there and have fun, because someone else is in charge.

A very nice Finnish glimpse and a cheerful rally – the Finns in formulas like Brynäs should be “better” and they want to go up at the “table” to go to a real playoff, not that suffocating nonsense that no one cares about.

He was wearing regular jeans and a plain gray polo shirt and looked like an ordinary dad who came home from his regular job on a normal day off.

I actually think the qualifiers should give the Baltic Sea, Finnish boats and karaoke bars a second chance.

The last time a foreign-born SHL coach won SM gold was Manner native Timo Lahtinen, who won with Malmö in 1994.

This says something about Swedish ice hockey, too.

When a C More profile asked a player if there was still “drive in hunger” we all got hungry, stopped listening and started craving a chicken wrap.

As soon as all the TV interviews were over, everyone rushed out of the Palace of Trifles in search of fresh air and something to eat.

– No Blair Date Mima!

It must be said.

After the televised segment, I had many interesting conversations with the coaches, players, colleagues and people from the federation, and the Ice Hockey Tribe was neither short-sighted nor long-tempered.

I’ve talked about raising kids with Jonathan Bodas, chatted with Robert Olson, learned a little bit about Patrick Selfegard’s relationship with Älmhult and Dio and sat for a while with Mikko Manner who was looking forward to the premiere this week at the Finnish Ice Hockey League that he’s watching with his fellow countrymen and coaches and a greasy taco pizza .

If so, you will not be able to read a line.

Then it was good that FBK captain Linus Johansson was just as kind and common sense as I expected Crown Berger to be, I was actually happy and proud retroactively because he was the one who took the SC Cup last spring.
