    Posted on Wednesday October 28th, 2009 at 01:00 am in articles, Tampa Bay, mattias ohlund

    I was surprised to read an article on Ohlund in the Vancouver Sun, considering that OHlund isn't a Canuck anymore. Regardless, it was nice to get an update on how he's doing. I guess the Ohlund family isn't minding the heat (except for Eros, their ...

    Found this interview of Ohlund by Carrie Serwetnyk. A nice article, but not too sure about those "two boys immersed in youth soccer" though. ASIDE: If there's any news on Ohlie for the next few weeks, it won't be up on the blog because I'll have l...

  • I need some distance in this relationship..

    Posted on Tuesday March 10th, 2009 at 10:50 am in articles, mattias ohlund

    My resolution for this year's playoffs is that I will not become 100% emotionally invested in the success of the Canucks. Being a Canucks fan is like being in a goddamned relationship. You experience elation, pain, heartbreak, fury and but really.....
