Back home in Sweden over the summer, Victor Hedman touched on a load of points. We were fortunate to get some translations of what was said.
One of the rites of summer for players is to travel home. This means pond-hopping for players from Europe who wish to see family and friends and enjoy the native experience, and it translates into some foreign-language features from the press of those foreign lands, especially if the player in question is a very high profile member of the nation to the game of hockey.
Case in point, Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman has been in several interviews in the Swedish newspaper Expressen this summer, and why wouldn't he be interviewed?
