Wow had no idea he was American. So stupid…his dad is American, his mom moved to America as an adult. But he picked Sweden…probably because the US has a harder “olympic trials, do or die” approach to making the team but in Sweden you get on the team from cumulative points. Plus they pay a salary.
What a shame.

He's the #1 guy in the world. Has been a phenom since he was in high school.
His dad is the Swedish pole vaulting coach. I think dad makes decent money coaching the lads.

The coupling of athletes to nationalities is rather unnecessary.
You don’t want athletes telling you how to run a country.
You don’t want politics tainting sports. -

I remember that one. Reception was horrible on the antenna and it was like watching them play in a snowstorm. Couldn't follow the puck. Wouldn't have made much difference, anyway. Dixie rednecks didn't know much about hockey, except yankees and furriners played it on ice.
Didn't matter. When our bunch of amateurs beat what was essentially one of the best professional teams in the world, we were all screaming and hollering at the top of our lungs.
