from Dan Rosen of NHL.com,

On the ice, the Detroit Red Wings and Farjestads BK, a Swedish Elite League sensation, are worlds apart. One has world-class talent; the other has players who admire that world-class talent.

That much will probably show on Sept. 30 when the Red Wings visit Karlstad, Sweden to play an exhibition game against FBK.

“Some people can’t even believe we’re able to bring them here to Karlstad,” FBK’s President, former NHLer Hakan Loob, told NHL.com.

It actually fits that the Wings and FBK will play an exhibition game. At least off the ice it’s as if these two organizations were separated at birth. They have each experienced wild success by following business philosophies that are strikingly similar.

“I think there is a comparison to be made,” Loob admitted.

“No organization is about one person,” Holland told NHL.com.

Maybe Kenny missed the announcement about Burke taking over in Toronto.

Everybody is familiar with that tone and nobody has to feel bad about it. It’s high pitched sometimes. We have reasons to get mad and we show that. We want to be together in madness, sadness and gladness.

Sounds like an absolutely perfect description of the 19 over at A2Y.
