INSANE match at Swedish Hockey (Frölunda vs. Skellefteå AIK was WILD!!)

[@dudeno3182]

For context: The guy who scored the OT goal for Skellefteå was Andreas Johnsson (ex Leafs and Devils) who played for Frölunda for his whole life before he joined the Leafs organization. His father Jonas Johnsson is a club legend at Frölunda. So when Andreas came back to Sweden this winter everyone expected him to go to Frölunda but instead he joined Skellefteå to play with his brother Jonathan. With that in mind, lets just say Frölunda fans didn't appreciate his wild celebration after that goal.

[@JetLagWarriors]

Wow, what a hockey family! Great comment btw, thanks

[@jonasmandersson]

As a Skellefteå AIK supporter I was thrilled to see you guys getting tickets to this game. We had a full bus coming down from Stockholm, and also quite a few flying down from Skellefteå which is located 800km north of Stockholm. It was a nice bus ride home afterwards, back in Sthlm around 05:30 in the morning.😎 One of the penalties in overtime was for too many players on the ice, it was not the goalie shooting the puck out of bounds. You should come to Skellefteå for the next game!

[@JetLagWarriors]

Ah! Too many men- makes sense. I didn't see the goalie shoot the puck over the glass, but I saw Frolunda trying to figure out who to send to the box, and I just guessed. Anyway, GREAT GAME! I'm sure the bus ride home was great. I can imagine you all cheering and chanting in the bus lol.

[@DONTHASSLETHEHOFF]

That own goal was wild. Not often you see a one like that..He must have lost his mind for a second there.

What a game. Love your commentary Steve!!

Dude, your vids are awesome! Great content with just the right amount of home town bias! :) This is a couple of days late but an observation from first game in Scandinavium: You made a point about a canadian connection to Frölunda but did you miss the maple leaf in the Skellefteå Badge? Yes, Skellefteå AIK was founded with the original AIK in Stockholm as a model, but the hockey team also adopted a form of maple leaf into its logo. It is not really well documented why they did that. But I always heard it was as an homage to Canadian hockey. Anyway game 6 is hopefully as entertaining as the last three games, if possible. Hoping for another vid of it, and a Skellefteå win ;)

[@thedryparn1279]
