  4. As a Norwegian hockey fan I'm really happy this historic event happened 2 Norwegians drafted 1 round for the first time ever on top of that 4 players drafted first time ever this is a breakthrough for Norwegian hockey 🏒, but more importantly this will hopefully pave way for more Norwegians drafted in the future.

  6. he smells like Swedish meatballz…and coffee…wait… that's my kitchen… and I don't know any Norwegian food. I assume they eat Swedish meatballs. I hear it's like burgers in America

  7. Pretty cool little video, will be exciting to see what all he can improve on and then what he can bring to the team in the future. Lot's of strong talent starting to build in the organization, wish this was EA Sports and Detroit was a more appealing area to live in, so they could get more top end talent now, but the organization is getting much better overall and exciting to watch. LGRW!!!

  10. It says nothing about his on ice play and I know nothing about his on ice play, but the dude just has the look of an NHLer, has the boyish face you look back on and think "oh my god he's so young" once he is a grizzled veteran in the league.
