It's kind of a derby though, and those are always unpredictable.
Sweden was too ineffective, playing on the perimeter.
We need to get our hands dirty and crash the goal.
No Swede has really done that since Tomas Holmstrom retired.
I'd say Gabriel Landeskog did all of that and a lot more.

Oh right. I forgot about him.....has he played more than 10 games in the last 3 years?
Somewhere in NW BC trying (yet again) to trade a(nother) Swede…..

No, it seems to be over for him, sadly.

Yeah, I just checked. Hasn't played a game since 2021-22.

Landeskog is under contract till 2029, but it was reported in November that his rehab had suffered a serious setback, so yeah, most likely his career is over. He suffered a major knee injury and those can be tricky. A major setback two years into rehab...? Nah, he's done. :(
Whatever you do, always give 100 %!
