Me with the Svensson's the First Day in Sweden

This picture also brings back a lot of memories of my first time in Sweden. It is still hard to believe that I am leaving in about a week. Last weekend we won an exibition game against a very good team in Nacka by the score of 6-2. This was a big game for us to get ready for the final three games of the playoffs. Yesterday, I got up around six in the morning and got back around 11 at night. I got called to play a 7-game-1-day tournament with a lower team. We won more than we lost and eventually lost 4-3 in overtime in the final to Viggan which is the other team in Taby. This was a great day with tons of playing time for me and the others. I scored five goals and three assists which is pretty high for me considering that I was playing defense the whole time. Today we had another game and won 8-2. The game was far away against an average team. I scored two assists in this win as well. In the first team we upset Huddinge for the third time this season with a 4-3 win in the quarterfinals. This was a huge win against one of another of the best teams in Sweden. We will advance to the semifinals to play our rival Arlanda Wings on Tuesday night. It will be another tough, close game with them. Arlanda was the team who barely won the Gothenberg tournament over us. I will blog once more before my return.
