” He has been really solid. And it is fun to play in front of him, for he has such a tremendous competitive spirit. It spreads, you really want to win with him at the back. Although Anders Nilsson has played brilliant, we have two good goalkeepers, ” says Edler.”
“Who was the largest hjälteinsatsen in the night.”
“just Over three minutes into the övertidsperioden he was suddenly the puck in front of Calgary-the bag and sprinkled in the crucial 3-2-puck.”

“– Very fun, of course. You want to be happy to be with and contribute to the victories. “
