Why do you suppose this is the case? I understand teams go through cycles of being good and those cycles don't always line up, Red Wings Avalanche was appointment viewing in the late 90s and 00's. Has the new division structure and scheduling sapped even the geographical rivalries? The AHL still does home and home […]
Interesting, in that Sweden vs USA team (score was 5:2 respectively), our Wild players produced too. EEK had 2 goals and 1 assist; Johansson had 1 goal and 1 assist for Sweden team. Brodin played there as defenseman and Gustavsson was in their net. Total 4 our players are playing now for Sweden team at […]
