Blues Blogging From Sweden

Ooooohhhhhhh, so now it's not weird and nerdy and "unprofessional" and "asshole-y" to be a blogger! Now, suddenly, it's cool to be a blogger. Check out the Blues' own site to see blogs from Sweden from players, broadcasters and even some unidentified weirdo who is walking around in the team's locker room, wordlessly recording what all their athletic gear looks like when it's just hanging there. (Seriously, it would only be minimally creepier if you could hear some breathing or some internal dialogue: "And there's David Backes' cup... no one is here... you just know it has a strange tangy smell.... you should just take a quick sniffie....")

Instead of all that stuff, we nabbed a few of our own blog posts from Sweden that weren't deemed to be ready for the official website.

Murray_andy_medium Andy Murray: You know, I started my coaching career at Shattuck-St. Mary's, a high school that specializes in making NHL players. Well, these guys I have now aren't quite mature enough to attend that school yet. For one, everyone has heard how Keith Tkachuk woke me up on the flight over to tell me he couldn't sleep. Great prank, yes, but no one has reported the prank he pulled on me where he woke me up and said, "Coach, I can't find my finger, can you reach around on your bed and see if you can find it?"

So very Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Thanks Keith.

On top of that, less than one day in on the trip and I've already lost one player.

Janssen_medium Cam Janssen: So team just had scavenger hunt in Stockholm County and yes, Cam got lost. Cam not know that group had left sex shoppe and Cam may have stayed too long. And then it got dark and Cam no have St. Louis posse to get Cam back to road-home-room to stay in when not home. Cam finally home now after long night of sleeping on bench and Cam Smashing people in their faces when they ask if Cam alright. Fuck yes, Cam alright! Cam Smash!

Kerber_chris_medium Chris Kerber: Howdy folks and welcome to another great blog brought to you by the St. Louis Blues and Blues hockey. Blues hockey: Only we can steal our new 'Puzzle' marketing campaign from the autism awareness campaign and not have any idea that it might not send the right message!

So far, so good over here in Sweden, though the shortage of McRib sandwiches has me a bit off my game. Had customs not confiscated my personbal stash we might not yet have this problem. Of course, the bigger problem? The Dee-troit Red Wings and their Swedish-heavy lineup will essentially get two home games here against the Blues, which might not be a great way to start the season.

But even more fucked up than that? New Blues color man, Darren Pang, has acquired a new David Hasselhoffesque habit in his speech. If he keeps it, Blues fans, I might just kill that little sawed-off bastard.

Pang_medium Darren Pang: Bingo-bango-bongo, Blues fans! Holy jumpin' is this trip to Sweden the greatest! The guys are loving it, the staff is loving it, I'm loving it... well, we're all just loving it! Tonight we had a game against Sweden's own Linkoping and HOLY JUMPIN'! what a game! I nearly went Linko-Pang! with how great the young Blues played. A nice 6-0 win met all the Blues' fans' goal-scoring hunger PANGS! and answered a lot of questions for head coach Andy Murray.

On top of that, these young guys are just growing in confidence and excitement. I've been with young teams before, fellas, and let me tell ya, this one is different. These guys have a wang-PANG-thank-you mang that I just never saw with the young Coyotes. These guys believe in each other and what they can do to skate, shoot, crash and PANG for one another out there. Even the young guys are really stepping up. Look at sophomore Patrik Berglund, who, coming home to play these three games has really taken the lead in showing his teammates around.

It's been PANG-tastic!

Berglund_medium Patrik Berglund: Allvarligt, min bitchings måste du alla vara svalare. Min familj är här, min flickvän här. Kan inte veta om min Livings i USA. De kan inte veta om vägen horor och blåsa av jobben. De måste bara höra om hockey och varorna. berätta för dem om Osh och Walt och wahtnot.

Berätta för dem annat än sanningar. Allvarligt, douchies, ingen talar om min amerikanska erfarenheter. Berätta för dem bara om Hockeys.

Jag vädjar till er! Jag lovar, alla drinkings är på mig om du bara är cool!

I was hoping to hear the Swedish Chef’s viewpoint on the Blues. But in lieu of that, enjoy a clip.

I love the Google translator version of the Berglund "quote"
Seriously, my bitch tion, you must all be cooler. My family is here, my girlfriend here. Can not know if my Living in the USA. They may not know about the way hookers and blow off their jobs. They only have to hear about hockey and goods. tell them of Osh and Walt and wahtnot.

Tell them other than truths. Seriously, douchies, no one talks about my American experience. Tell them just about hockey.

I appeal to you! I swear, every drink tion is on me if you are just cool!

I would like to try a Swedish "drink tion".

Preferably from a keg.

Gallagher is going to get me fired.

Everytime I read one of these at work, something (this time it was the Google translation of Berglund’s blog) makes me laugh out loud at my desk, drawing attention to the fact that I am reading a hockey blog instead of doing whatever it is I’m supposed to be doing.

Seriously, douchies, this is brilliant.

This is glorious

Berglund bit: perfect.

…and thanks for making me second-guess my tolerance for the Pango-Pongo pickup without even having heard him broadcast a Blues word yet.

TJ Pujols?

I like your thinking, but shouldn’t that be T.J. Pujols if we’re going by hype? ;)

Gravy totally nailed Kerber

And I think it’s funny we’re posting stuff that you have to go to Google translator to understand. And then translator screws it up. Hilarious.

What's the Swedish translation of "Fuck Detroit"?

Might as well get the top Google ranking in Scandinavia, too.

by BleedBlue42 on Sep 30, 2009 6:22 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

our swedish expert informs us that the closest translation is

fan ta Detroit.

Expect to see plenty of that over the next couple days.

Translator screwed up, but...

…it wasn’t where you think. The post was written in English, then ran through some online translator, so it didn’t make much sense to us Swedes either ;) And then translating it back to English, well, Chinese whispers…

Anyway, great post :)

Hmm...

…well, seems you can’t edit here, but I did notice after posting that it was one of the admins posting that comment so I suppose you did know the origins of the post ;)

Keystone Lake Zamboni falls through thin ice


A Zamboni took a dip in North America's largest groomed skating pond at Keystone Resort tonight.
A driver was grooming the lake at about 6:15 p.m., when the ice cracked and the 7,000-pound machine began to sink at about 6:15 p.m. As a precaution, skaters were cleared from another area of the 5-acre pond, resort spokesman Ryan Whaley said. The driver was not injured.
There was no word immediately on how soon the rink might re-open, but staff will examine the ice and remove the Zamboni Wednesday, Whaley said.
"They'll take it out and we'll see how it is," Whaley said of the machine and the safety of the ice around the crater.
With a lake that large, other areas could reopen immediately, he said.

Once it dries out, the machine is likely salvageable, he said.
Kenneth Waesche snapped a photo of the sunken ice machine when he stopped by Lakeside Village for a pickup game of hockey. His wife planned to do some skating.
Waesche said that the "thin ice" sign in the foreground of the photo was some distance away from where the Zamboni went in.
The lake is typically open from Dec. 18 to March. 28 depending on the weather, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
