Late news + other news

It came as a bit of a surprise to me, but Corey Stillman is now a Senator. I know, I'm late here but I have been away from the computer since this morning. And as I looked at the news on different websites, I realised the deal went through during the night (here in Sweden). So apparently, I missed it this morning. So, I'm not off to a great start here. Things are going to pick up, that's a promise!

So, what's happening this weekend?
Manchester United are playing Arsenal in the FA Cup. A victory is needed to restore some of the pride lost in the derby against Manchster City last Sunday. It will be a tough one for sure.

Yours truly won't be around to watch it. I'm flying across the pond to New York City. It is a short hockey trip for me, I'm going to be there and see the Rangers play the Sabres and the Sharks. It will, for sure, be a different experience. I'm used to the big rinks and the Swedish Elit Series. Of course, I've seen the NHL on TV but this is something extraordinary. Then I'm off back home to Sweden on Monday. On Thursday I'm back on the stands in the Swedish Elite Series, watching Linkopings HC play FBK Karlstad away.

A lot of ice hockey here right now, but there will be football as well.
There won't be any postings here during my stay in NYC. A summary will be online during the upcoming Tuesday or Wednesday. I might write some here tomorrow before my departure.

The royal opening

We're off!

Given the fact that this is the first time for me, writing a blog, there might be a few changes later on. At first, this will be a bilingual blog. Most entries will be written in English but there might be some Swedish involved in some of the entries. We'll see where this will end up.

The title of the blog doesn't really keep much to the imagination. So, here I will post my views on ice hockey, football (soccer) and a few other sports. Sometimes, there might be something about the NBA and the NFL. But most of this will be about ice hockey and football.

The trade deadline in the NHL is coming up. We might see some big name moves. Ray Emery of the Ottawa Senators might leave the Canadian capital. Rumour has it that he has become some sort of a cancer in the Senators locker room. He has anger managment issues and that speaks for a move, looking at it as a Senator manager. Looking at it with another pair of eyes, I wonder if there is an organisation, willing to pursue a keeper like that. The Thrashers' Marian Hossa is becoming an Unrestricted Free Agent and things might happen in Georgia. If he is leaving, I think he might end up either up the east coast and on Manhattan (perhaps in exchange for Jaromir Jagr?) or he might end up going Wild? Pairing him up with his Slovakia fellow Marian Gaborik would make the Wild fans go nuts, for sure.

I will write some more later. Now it is time for lunch
