Friday 19th - Chill dudes & dudettes
 

Ahhh ... spent the morning feeding weird animals, moving snow about and drinking coffee with neighbors.

Found a 150usd car :D It needs to be able to do 1 500km drive...and then itll be sent to car heaven ... its not exactly an impressive car but it does seem to fit the bill :D

Oh and Brickzilla has converted me to communism...all goods should be shared equally |banana|

Hockey is getting exciting ... the village team lost the 12th in a row and is more or less certain to get relegated, but the local heroes are within 3points of championship playoffs in the SHL ... we shall overcome |hockey|

Morning! |sars|

Set my alarm for 3AM so I could get up and get an update ready, only to find out our video guy was having some problems & it's not gonna be ready til this afternoon |facepalm|

So I've just been sitting here working on some of my stuff, which is the plan for the rest of the day.

Life is SO unfair |cry|

What team are you referring to? One in the SHL? I'm not sure how the Swedish league works in terms of relegation etc. But I like to learn more about EU leagues. I used to follow the Bundesliga years ago when I lived overseas.

In the SHL I follow Leksand ... its a village about 50kms away with 5000 people but they consistently fill the hockey stadium with 7000+ people coming from all over (when not in corona) - and always send 2000+ to away games...A historic darling of Swedish hockey though we´ve usually been in the second tier. We are 7th in the league, top6 goes into championship playoffs - 11 & 12 go into relegation games but no risk of that for once.

Generally the SHL is better than the Bundesliga, on a level with the Swiss league approximately (and around KHL/second tier level for the US - but way below NHL obviously)

My local village team is called Malung - and is in the 3rd tier - first time ever we have been that high...and the trouble is half the teams we are up against are full time pro´s ...ours all have fulltime jobs aside from the hockey. And well, we are getting trashed...

Good stuff hinc. These guys can definitely play. I looked at the Leksand roster and recognized Carter Ashton, who was in the Maple Leafs system for several years.

Yeah Carter Ashton joined recently and has been a great hit since he came :) He scored yesterday hehe ... its usually that level of US players we can attract - those with a few NHL games who didnt quite get their breakthrough there & thus want something else or plays KHL
